Multi-Media Alarm Stations

Making an Alarm Station Operational

What a Multi SA needs to do

After adding an alarm station, p. 203, and defining how a Multi-Media unit connects to it, p. 203:

•You need to update security for each Multi-Media unit involved. See Updating Security on a Multi-Media Unit, on p. 131

•An alarm station is of little use if you have not set any events to trigger alarms. See Events Defined, on p. 187.

•Use View software, the Sites tab, to prioritize alarm stations. See Cascading Alarm Stations, on p. 49.

•Operators of PCs not designated as alarm stations can also receive alarms sent by a Multi- Media unit, by running an Alarm session using View. To find out how to run an Alarm session, see the Rapid Eye View Software Operator Guide.

Using More than one Alarm Station

If enough sites need customization, you could create two (or more) alarm station records to shuttle alarms to one PC: one for long distance sites, another for local sites, i.e., within the same calling area. To avoid confusion, use descriptive names, such as:

“Fire sensors – local calls” or “Fire sensors – long distance”, and so on. You can then add the alarm station most appropriate for a site, on a site-by-site basis. How to create alarm station records is explained in Adding an Alarm Station: Name and Reports, on p. 203.

Creating Extra Alarm Station Definitions for the same PC

A Multi SA has the option of creating two (or more) alarm station records to shuttle alarms to the same PC: for example, one for local sites, and another for remote sites. To avoid complexity, use descriptive names such as: “local sensors” and “remote sensors”. To create alarm station records, see Adding an Alarm Station: Name and Reports, on p. 203.

Disconnection Note

When alarms are in progress

Closing View or disconnecting a session after a successful alarm callback voids that callback. This can occur due to: power failure, user action and so on. You can still view the alarms in an alarm session.
