want the alarm type chosen in prompt A1S1TYPE to actuate. The
value depends on what the setpoint has been configured to
represent. No setpoint is required for alarms configured for
Communications SHED. For SP Programming the value is the
segment number for which the event applies.

For example: A1S1TYPE = MANUAL.
