Audible Alarms

In addition to the visual cues used to detect events occurring on the RMX, an audible alarm can be activated and played when participants request Operator Assistance.

Using Audible Alarms

The Audible Alarm functionality for Operator Assistance requests is enabled for each MCU in either the RMX Web Client or RMX Manager.

The Audible Alarm played when Operator Assistance is requested is enabled and selected in the Setup > Audible Alarm > User Customization. When the Audible Alarm is activated, the *.wav file selected in the User Customization is played, and it is repeated according to the number of repetitions defined in the User Customization.

If more than one RMX is monitored in the RMX Manager, the Audible Alarm must be enabled separately for each RMX installed in the site/configuration. A different *.wav file can be selected for each MCU.

When multiple Audible Alarms are activated in different conferences or by multiple MCUs, the Audible Alarms are synchronized and played one after the other. It is important to note that when Stop Repeating Alarm is selected from the toolbar from the RMX Web Client or RMX Manager, all activated Audible Alarms are immediately halted.
