This checkbox is
used to cause an
extra erase of the
map screen. It
should only be
checked if there are
problems with icons
not being cleared
properly from the
screen. Otherwise it
will cause the screen
to flicker.
This checkbox
enables and
disables the "Buddy
Check" feature of
the system.
When checked, the Central Console periodically issues a command (via the
Transponders) to each Receiver, to activate its on-board transmitter. The Console
then compares the signals received from neighboring Receivers to the results of
earlier "Buddy Checks", thus identifying Receivers, which appear to have changed
sensitivity.
Checking this box causes all dates to be presented in day month year format rather
than the month day year format used in North America.
Checking this box allows the buddy check to run as fast as it can. Normally only one
buddy check transmission is sent each minute.
Checking this box causes the Central Console to display the signal strength
measured by each receiver as a number (from 1 to 15) inside the Receiver icon when
Maintenance "Alarms" are displayed. Otherwise the floor number is displayed.
This checkbox causes signal strength levels to be displayed on the receiver icons
when displaying tests on the main map screen. Otherwise the green "Test" icons are
displayed.
When checked this checkbox causes the Map Scale, Alarm Spot Size, and depth
settings to be displayed in this dialog. Also it controls the display of the SA% and
Algorithm settings in the Transponder Edit dialog
Normally this box is not checked. If checked the communications to the dial-up wide
area paging system through the modem will be displayed on the history screen. This
function would only be used to diagnose communications problems to the paging
system.
Normally this box is not checked. If checked the communications to the modem will
be displayed on the history screen. This function would only be used to diagnose
communications problems with the modem.
Normally when a maintenance alarm is received from a maintenance transmitter, the
red light on all receivers hearing the transmission will flash for 5 seconds. If this box
is checked the receiver with the loudest reception level will turn on both the red and
green lights for five seconds.
