A device’s Alarm Source Info slot holds a number of common alarm properties (Figure 10). These properties are used to populate an alarm if the device does not respond to a monitor ping. This ping is configured at the network level—see About Monitor.

These 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 parent network component also has its own Alarm Source Info slot, with identical (but independently maintained) properties. See About network Alarm Source Info.
