First, look at the block that will alarm. In that block is an alarm group parameter for each alarm in the block. This parameter should be one of: 0 - No group assigned 1-3 - Alarm group 1 to 3 assigned to the alarm. Alarm groups 1-3 are defined by the Compound holding the block. 4-8 - Alarm group 4 to 8 assigned to the alarm. These alarm groups are defined by the Station block. If the alarm group is a compound based one, go to the compound for the block and be sure the logical name of the WP appears in the group as a device. The parameters of interest are: GR1DV1 - GR1DV8 which define group 1 GR2DV2 - GR2DV8 which define group 2 GR3DV3 - GR3DV8 which define group 3 If the answer is a station block, you need to look at it. In the station block, it's a little more complicated because each of the devices has to appear in the station block list and you have to enable it for a given group. If all of this is setup properly, the alarms should appear on the WP. Does this help?

We now want it to alarm like the rest of our WPs in the system. I configured the Station Block of the two CPs that I want alarms from, but I am not successful in getting the WP to alarm on the CAD when an alarm comes in. The alarm is coming in on the other WPs and AW that these CPs are sending alarms to. What am I missing, or better yet does anyone have a check list on what to check to see why no alarms on this WP?
