A response describes a reaction to an alarm. The Alarm Response Form allows you to create a list of frequently used, predefined responses to an alarm, and reduces the need to type an entry. The response entries that you create will display as selections on the Alarm Monitor Form.

Click Search to view or edit existing response records or click Add to begin a new response record.

A facility can be assigned for the alarm from the drop-down list of available facilities for assignment by this operator.

Alarms Tab - Alarm Routing and Bumping Form

This form allows you to configure the routing of alarms to one or more Client Groups by time schedule or at all times. Bumping is a term used to describe forwarding the alarms to an additional location.

•You must have Client Groups configured beforehand.

•You can bump an alarm to one or more Client Groups following a time lapse of an unacknowledged and unpurged alarm to the Client Groups selected for routing.

•Alarm bumping information is displayed on the Alarm Monitor form in the alarm state column.

You may want to review this Sample Scenario before you begin. This is a routing and bumping schedule for a business in two buildings (administration building and a factory, working three shifts).
