Does a TC6 project have to be re-commissioned before Priva Alarms can be used?

Yes, that is necessary.

The HX controller of the TC6 project must be made ready to be able to send the alarms for the project. This requires a Management PC connection via the Ethernet port or serial port, and the 'Print Messages' option must be enabled.

In order to 'activate' these changes, it is necessary to re-commission the project. It may also be the case that a Management PC driver needs to be purchased.

An exception to this is if, for instance, a local TC ServeCenter PC is replaced in the project by Priva Alarms. In that case, the Management PC and 'Print messages' option are already active, so re-commissioning is not necessary.
