Alerting ION Software via the Alarm Server

Chapter 5 - Features and Applications

Remote Site Event Notification

The Alarm Server uses a series of command line arguments to specify the actions 
it takes when a priority event is reported. These commands must be entered on the 
computer that is running the Alarm Server utility. Typically the Alarm Server is 
configured to launch the Connection Manager, which dials up the remote site and 
retrieves the logs from the devices. The Alarm Server can also be configured to 
launch other applications. A series of parameter switches are added to the 
command line to pass information about the event to the application that is 
launched.

Configuring the Alarm Server

The Alarm Server should have a dedicated phone line, modem, and COM port to 
avoid conflicts with other ACCESS software components.

The modem used by the Alarm Server is not configured with the Management 
Console– only dialout modems are configured in the Management Console. The 
Alarm Server's executable, alarmsrv.exe, is typically located in 
\\Siemens\WinPM.Net\SYSTEM\bin. You can run the Alarm Server in a console 
window, or you can define a shortcut icon that includes all of the command line 
arguments required.
