Using Maintenance Mode

Maintenance Mode lets you configure and troubleshoot notifications without notification messages being sent. You will not receive notifications from Power Operation while the Alarm Server remains in maintenance mode.

NOTE: No heartbeat alarms are sent when Maintenance Mode is on.

When you put Notifications Settings in maintenance mode, Power Operation sends a message indicating that the Alarm Server is in maintenance mode. Power Operation sends another message when Notifications Settings resumes. You can optionally disable these messages (see step 4 for details.)

To use Maintenance Mode:

  1. Click Settings and Diagnostics.
  2. Click Maintenance Mode to enable it and then click Save.
  3. (For redundant systems) In the Save Configuration window, select the servers that you want to put in maintenance mode.
  4. (Optional) In the Save Configuration window, clear Send Configuration Announcements.

    5. Typically, you would only clear this setting when you are commissioning a live system and you do not want maintenance mode alerts to go out.

  5. When you have completed your system updates, click Maintenance Mode to disable it, and then click Save.
