Master-Host
Alarm
AlarmNet-M is configured redundantly with a Primary (account # 0000) and Secondary (account
# 0001) receiving system. Each consists of its own separate antenna system, a 7810R radio
transceiver, which is connected to a 685-5NR radio line card in its own 685 receiver. Both
receiving systems are live and powered up at all times, with messages normally sent to the
Primary system. If one system fails, the network will automatically route messages to the other.
At the time of such a failure, both a Master-Host Alarm and a Master-Host Reminder is
generated.
The Master-Host Alarm message is generate internally by the 685 that has failed. It indicates that
its particular receiving system is having a problem connecting to the network.
The Master-Host Reminder is generated by the network and is reported to the other, operating
receiving system. It indicates that the other part of the redundant system is having a problem
connecting to the network.
Example:
During normal operation, all messages are being properly reported to the Primary receiving
system of a central station.
A storm damages the antenna system to the Primary system, severing its connection to the
AlarmNet-M network.
The 685 for the Primary receiving system will display the Master-Host Alarm, indicating that
it has lost network connection
A few moments later, the Secondary system will display the Master-Host Reminder,
indicating that the Primary has lost network connection.
The Secondary will immediately begin receiving all alarms and messages that normally
would have gone to the Primary
Such a condition may be caused by:
Antenna failure
Radio receiver failure
Substantial interference
Network outage
Master-Host
Reminder
See also Master-Host Alarm.
This message is generate by the network about the failure of one part of the redundant AlarmNet-
M receiving system and reported to the functioning part of the receiving system. It indicates a
failure of a 685 to connect to the AlarmNet-M network.
Master-Host
Restore
This message indicates that central station transceiver has resumed hearing network activity.
