Run Buddy Check
This checkbox enables and disables the buddy check feature of the system.
When checked, the central console periodically issues a command (by the transponders) to each receiver, to activate its
Day Month Format
Checking this box causes all dates to be presented in day month year format rather than the month day year format used in North America.
High Speed Buddy Check
Checking this box allows the buddy check to run as fast as it can. Normally, only one buddy check transmission is sent each minute.
Show Maintenance Levels
Checking this box causes the central console to display the signal strength measured by each receiver as a number (from 1 to 15) inside the Receiver icon when maintenance alarms are displayed; otherwise, the floor number is displayed.
Show Test Levels
This checkbox causes signal strength levels to appear on the receiver icons when displaying tests on the Main Map Screen; otherwise, the green Test icons are displayed.
Enable Algorithm Tweaks
When checked, this checkbox causes the map scale, alarm spot size, and depth settings to be displayed in this screen. It also controls the display of the SA% and algorithm settings in the Transponder Edit Screen.
Pager Communications
Normally, this box is not checked. If checked, the communications to the
Monitor Communications
Normally, this box is not checked. If checked, the communications to the modem displays on the History Screen. This function is only used to diagnose communications problems with the modem.
Display Maintenance Alarm
Normally, when a maintenance alarm is received from a maintenance transmitter the red light on all receivers hearing the transmission flashes for 5 seconds. If this box is checked, the receiver with the loudest reception level turns on both the red and green lights for 5 seconds.
Sound Maintenance Alarm
If this box is checked, the receiver with the loudest reception level on a maintenance alarm turns on its sounder for 5 seconds. Normally, this box is not checked.
Disable Idle Processing
Normally, this software registers with Windows to return to the Security Escort System if there is any idle time. The Security Escort System can use it to speed up its response to serial communications and other background tasks. If checked, the software is not registered for the idle time. Normally, this box is not checked. Windows NT and 2000 can show the amount of time each application (task) is taking. When this checkbox is not checked, it may appear that Security Escort System is hogging the processor resources. This is not true because the Security Escort System is only taking the time that Windows gives it through the idle process. To prove this, check this checkbox. The amount of time the Security Escort System needs drops dramatically and the Security Escort System continues to operate normally (same communications responses are slowed by several hundred milliseconds).
No Buddy Check Delay
If checked, the software does not impose the hour between buddy checks from the same receiver. Normally, this box is not checked and should not be checked for live systems.
No Password To Exit
If checked, the software exits without asking for a password. Normally, this box is not checked.
No Password on Reentry
If checked, the software does not ask for a password when the user switches to another program and then switches back to the still running Security Escort. Normally, this box is not checked.
