INADS (INADS Link)
The INADS Link MO represents the software and communications link used by the switch to call
an alarm receiver. The purpose of the INADS Link MO is to:
● Check the communications link between the system and the alarm receiver
● Verify that the alarm notification process works correctly
To verify that alarms will be reported to the alarm receiver, either a centralized technician can
remotely test the process, or an on-site technician can test the connection either during an
installation or a subsequent service call.
Although the INADS Link MO never alarms, its errors are logged, and these errors are only
logged by entering test inads-link.
Demand test descriptions and error codes
The test inads-link command is different from other test commands:
● There is no long or short option.
● Resulting test does not have an associated test number.
When a user enters test inads-link, the system immediately returns either the Command
successfully completed or Command failed message.
INADS Link Test (No Test Number)
The INADS Link test attempts to call an alarm receiver (in the background) to verify the
communications link with the alarm receiver. When a user enters test inads-link, the
system immediately returns either a Command successfully completed or Command
failed message.
The “Command successfully completed” message means the switch will attempt to call the
alarm receiver in 2 minutes. (This test runs even if Alarm Origination is disabled.) The 2-minute
delay provides enough time for a remote technician to hang up the call and thus free up the
alarm receiver’s line so that the customer’s switch can call the alarm receiver back. The
“Command failed” message appears when either:
● A previously entered test inads-link is in progress
● The system is attempting to report active alarms to the alarm receiver
