The Security Escort System contains many built-in self testing features. Each Transponder tests the condition of
the Receivers and Alert Units connected to it.
When the Transponder finds a device reporting a "Trouble" condition, it communicates the problem and the
device identity to the Central Console, which generates a brief alert tone and displays a pop-up message for the
Dispatcher. The message indicates the nature of the "Trouble" and instructs the Dispatcher on the proper course
of action. The status of the device is recorded in the "Error! Reference source not found." file under the
"Setup" menu item. The event is recorded on the hard disks of both the main and backup computers and on the
hardcopy printout.
Popup Trouble Filter Dialog
This dialog allows for selection of which "Trouble" categories will cause pop-up messages to appear on the
Console screen or be set to the service pager. The "Troubles" described below will always be recorded in the
"Transponder Current Status" window but may or may not produce a Pop-up display or pager message,
depending on the selections made.
