The txalarm utility is the primary source for status information regarding communication problems between boards in a redundant configuration.
Before starting the redundant system, start the txalarm utility to monitor the startup and ensure that the system is working correctly. If you are running a dual node system, start txalarm on both systems.
To run txalarm from an MS-DOS prompt (Windows) or a UNIX shell, type:
txalarm -f alarm.log
Messages display when the boards are first loaded. The -f option saves the output to a file for later reference.
