# Base Station Offline Alarm

The **Base Station Offline** alarm alerts users when a base station stops communicating with Aranet Cloud for a defined period of time. This alarm helps quickly identify connectivity issues that may affect data collection from associated sensors.

When the alarm is triggered, sensor data transmission is interrupted until the base station reconnects. Early notification allows users to investigate potential causes such as power loss, network connectivity problems, or hardware issues.

Please note that this rule cannot be deleted, but you can change Warning and Critical thresholds anytime.

The Base Station Offline alarm can be used to:

* Detect loss of communication between a base station and the cloud
* Minimize data gaps caused by connectivity interruptions
* Identify infrastructure or network-related issues
* Ensure reliable operation of the sensor network

This alarm is critical for maintaining continuous monitoring, especially in environments where real-time data availability is essential.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aranet.com/aranet-cloud-page/aranet-cloud-landing-page/user-interface-and-core-features/alarms/base-station-offline-alarm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
