View source for Delayed Reporting of Line Errors

{{A}}
By default station errors are reported more or less instantly when the AlphaCom server looses connection to an IP Station, or if there is an error on the analog [[ASLT]] station line.

Sometimes it could be convenient to delay the reporting, for example if there is maintenance work in the IP network, repatching of cables etc.

This article describes how to disable the default reporting, and how to use customized error reporting using the [[Event Handler]] instead.

== Disable default Line Error reporting ==

=== Disable reporting to station ===
Station errors are by default sent to station on [[physical number]] 1. From AlphaPro one can disable this reporting.

Go to the [[Exchange_%26_System_(AlphaPro)#Faults|Exchange & System > RCI > Faults window]], select '''Fault Line''' > Change, and delete the [[MST_-_Mail_to_Station|MST command]] in the '''ON Action''' field.

=== Disable reporting to System Log ===
Station errors are by default sent to the [[System log]]. From AlphaPro one can disable this reporting.

Go to the [[Exchange_%26_System_(AlphaPro)#Logs_and_Errors|Exchange & System > System > Logs and Errors window]]. Under "System Log", uncheck '''Line Error'''.

== Configure Station Error reporting in Event Handler ==
Station errors are reported in the [[Event Handler]] as [[Faulty Station Line (Event Type)|Event 13 - Faulty Station Line]].

When a station error is detected by AlphaCom, the event 13 goes ON. A timer can then be started. When the station error goes away, the event 13 goes OFF, and the timer is stopped. If the the timer times out, an Station Error will be reported.
