3.3.3 Popup Trouble Filter

The Security Escort System contains many built-in self testing features. Each transponder tests the condition of the receivers and alert units connected to it.

When the transponder finds a device reporting a trouble condition, it communicates the problem and the device identity to the central console. This generates a brief alert tone, displays

apop-up message for the operator, and sends an optional pager message. The message indicates the nature of the trouble and instructs the operator on the proper course of action. The status of the device is recorded in the Transponder Current Status (See Section

3.3.10Transponder Current Status Screen) file under the Setup Menu. The event is recorded on the hard disks of both the main and backup computers and on the printout.
