What release of I/A are you running? If it is 8.x, the file \usr\fox\customer\alarms\cfg\wp_am.cfg settings override init.user. This is set via the workstation property scheme in ADMC. If you want to use you init.user settings you must rename wp_am.cfg.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3D"us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Has anyone seen a case where the hardware annunciator silences itself automatically? We have a pair of p92's installed at version 8.3 in one particular area of our plant and cag'd together and certain alarms silence the horns on both stations after sounding for a seemingly random amount of time (5 to 45 seconds). I cant find anything in common that points me in the right direction. =3D20 It does silence the horns on both stations. =3D20 I have checked the init.user file and the HRN_OPT is still commented so it should be default(manual only), and ACK_HORN =3D3DY (commented out, default also). Also, the init.user is the same file we use on the rest of our stations and this problem doesn't happen anywhere else. =3D20 Not all alarms cause this behavior, but there don't seem to be anything in common. =3D20 Ronald G.
