To change the way the EDI5000 operates, modify the following settings:

If LIVEPLAYBACK is not selected in the Display Mode box, the Live On Switch setting is ignored.

•Alarm Monitoring: Click this check box to enable the EDI5000 to receive alarms from the Endura system. When configuring alarms in the Endura system, be sure to assign each alarm a unique logical number. Configure a matrix system alarm for each alarm received from the Endura system, using physical numbers for the matrix alarms that match the logical numbers used in the Endura system. Refer to the
