Alarm Operation
Acoustic Location Signal
An alarm can be followed by an Acoustic Location Signal (ALS). The ALS is a signal from the handset that sounds for a predefined period of time. You silence the signal by pressing the Mute button on the handset.
Alarm with Location Information
The 5624 handset is compatible with both the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) and the Ekahau Real Time Location System (RTLS), which provides a more accurate location than AP Location.
Cisco MSE Location
APs measure the client signal strength for received data packets and forward the measurements to the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE). Your system administrator must configure the 5624 handset for Cisco RTLS.
Ekahau RTLS
The 5624 handset collects information about the APs and their measured radio field strength and forwards the information to the Ekahau Positioning Engine: it calculates the location of the 5624 Handset. Your system administrator must configure the 5624 Handset for Ekahau RTLS. This function requires a license.
Alarm with Data
You must manually define and store the data. To use the function, one soft/hot key/Navigation key in the handset must be defined as a shortcut to the “Edit alarm data" menu. See the Mitel 5624 Wireless Handset Configuration Guide. The stored data is added to all types of alarm at transmission.
Automatic Call after Alarm
You can configure a handset to call a
•Loudspeaking mode, or
•Monitor mode, or
•Normal mode.
See the Mitel 5624 Wireless Handset Configuration Guide for more information.
Alarm with Additional Information
Information about the handset’s approximate location is automatically sent along with an alarm; see Associated Access Point (AP) Location on page 40. It is also possible to add the location manually; see Alarm with Data on page 39.
