Generate Alarm/Event – GE Command
Testing the Action Routine or an alarm is an important part of the
process. The SAI command can be used to test an Action Routine. The
Generate Alarm/Event command allows you to test any alarm defined in
the Action Table. This command generates the Alarm or Event as if the
data had been received on the host port or an internal Event had
occurred. This command is useful for debugging or modifying Action

generate. For example, type GE .AUTHFAIL. to generate the event
.AUTHFAIL. You can also generate a “long” event-for example,, GE
DTA005 1 0020 0031 7.
Alternatively, type GE and then enter the alarm/event to be generated at
the prompt. Note that “Enter alarm/event” limits the number of characters.
If you want to generate a “long” event, use the method described above.
Type the mnemonic for the alarm or event you want to have performed
and press the Enter key. The system will confirm that the alarm/event
was generated.
