A network’s Alarm Source Info slot holds a number of common alarm properties (Figure 10). These properties are used to populate an alarm if the network does not respond to a monitor ping. See About Monitor for details on the monitor mechanism.

Alarm Source Info properties work the same as those in an alarm extension for a control point. For property descriptions, see the User Guide section “About alarm extension properties”.

Each child device object also has its own Alarm Source Info slot, with identical (but independently maintained) properties. See Device Alarm Source Info.
