Delayed Reporting of Line Errors

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.
