Finding the right AlarmNet tool

The AlarmNet 360 website is a collection of tools that enable you to manage communicator devices, accounts, users, check status, activate SIMs, etc.
The revised AlarmNet 360 interface is easy to navigate. It uses tool bar tabs that groups associated tools. For each tool, the workflow has been improved to naturally move you through a series of screens to complete a task.
For instance, programming communication devices is now accomplished using two wizards; Program New Device and Replace Other Device. Each wizard steps you through the proper procedure so the task is done easily and completely.
Below is a table showing various tasks and where the corresponding tool is located. Lastly, the tasks are hot linked, allowing you to jump to the proper help file topic.
Please use this table as a roadmap for finding the right tool for the task.

month/day/year and hour: minutes: seconds. The time is based on Greenwich Mean Time and is displayed in 24-hour military time.
Line (V) – This quantity represents the instantaneous DC voltage within the radi o after t he input power has been rectified; we are not measuring the voltage at the input terminals. This quantity is dependent on which wall transformer is used but is typically between 10.5 and 26 volts.
AC input: The QOS voltage will be approximately 1.414 times the input voltage. DC input: The QOS voltage will be approximately the same as the input voltage. Battery (V) – This quantity represents the voltage of the battery backup in the device at the instant the QOS data was
sent. This quantity expresses an under load value that should reside above 6.0 volts to be considered normal.
Net. – Indicates the communication network used. Receiver Level – The instantaneous relative level of the strength of the signal at the receiver at the time the data was
transmitted. (Range: –150dBm to –10dBm, stronger) Min Signal – The lowest relative level of the strength of the signal at the receiver since the last check in message was
transmitted. (Range: –150dBm to –10dBm, stronger) Max Signal – The highest relative level of the strength of the signal at the receiver since the last check in message was
transmitted. (Range: –150dBm to –10dBm, st r o n ger )
