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 ION software components.

The modem used by the Alarm Server is not configured with the ION 
Management Console– only dialout modems are configured in the ION 
Management Console. The Alarm Server's executable, alarmsrv.exe, is typically 
located in \\Power Measurement\ION Enterprise\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.
