The Security Escort System Software contains a feature whereby the Transmitter
Identification Number of a Transmitter can be automatically entered into the
Subscriber Database. This is used for entering Transmitters when first issuing them
to subscribers and for Transmitter exchanges.
This automatic capture of the Transmitter Identification Number is accomplished by
performing certain procedural steps (See the Security Escort Operators Manual) and
then using the Transmitter to make a "Test" transmission in close proximity to a
designated Receiver, usually located close to the Central Console. By capturing the
Transmitter Identification Number in this manner, keystroke errors are avoided during
Database entries and changes. The Receiver chosen for this purpose is designated
as the "ID Capture Receiver". To assign the ID Capture Receiver, its Transponder
Name and its "Point Number" are selected using the two boxes labeled
"Transponder" and "Point" in the middle of the "Set System Preferences" Dialog.
The Security Escort System Software can activate an output to call attention when
there is an alarm that has been received and no operator has responded to the
system yet. To assign the Control Room output, select Transponder Name it is
connected to and it's "Point Number".
4 Alarm zones allow the selection of which alarms from specific transmitters will be
reported on this workstation. This workstation will display the alarms only for the
alarm zones that are checked. Each transmitter can be assigned to one or more
alarm zones and when that transmitter generates an alarm; if this workstation has
one or more of the same alarm zones checked then that alarm would be displayed.
The system defaults to all alarms are displayed on all workstations.
This value changes the scale that the maps are presented with. It is not intended for
normal operation; typically it is used for testing to allow more of the map to be seen.
The setting may range from 30% to 400%. The Enable Algorithm Tweaks checkbox
must be checked for this to be displayed.
This setting changes the size of the yellow dot that marks the calculated location of
the alarm. The settings range from 19 to 76 (half to double the default alarm dot size).
It is best to set the size of the alarm spot so that represents a diameter of 50 feet on
the displayed map, as this is the area where the transmission of the alarm most likely
took place. The Enable Algorithm Tweaks checkbox must be checked for this to be
displayed.
This setting controls the involvement of receivers in the alarm location calculation
only when the Linear Algorithm is being used. The setting can range from 0 to 6 (it is
defaulted to 2). When set to 0 only the receivers that are closer to the actual location
of the alarm will be considered in the location calculation. As the setting is raised
more distant receivers will be included in the alarm calculation. Typically lower
settings are better than higher settings. This setting should be changed if there are
known problems with the location using the Linear Algorithm. The Enable Algorithm
Tweaks checkbox must be checked for this to be displayed.
This setting controls the involvement of receivers in the alarm location calculation
only when the Low Algorithm is being used. The setting can range from 0 to 6 (it is
defaulted to 2). When set to 0 only the receivers that are closer to the actual location
of the alarm will be considered in the location calculation. As the setting is raised
more distant receivers will be included in the alarm calculation. Typically lower
settings are better than higher settings. This setting should be changed if there are
known problems with the location using the Low Algorithm. The Enable Algorithm
Tweaks checkbox must be checked for this to be displayed.
This setting controls the involvement of receivers in the alarm location calculation
only when the Medium Algorithm is being used. The setting can range from 0 to 6 (it
is defaulted to 2). When set to 0 only the receivers that are closer to the actual
location of the alarm will be considered in the location calculation. As the setting is
raised more distant receivers will be included in the alarm calculation. Typically lower
settings are better than higher settings. This setting should be changed if there are
known problems with the location using the Medium Algorithm. The Enable Algorithm
Tweaks checkbox must be checked for this to be displayed.
This setting controls the involvement of receivers in the alarm location calculation
only when the Strong Algorithm is being used. The setting can range from 0 to 6 (it is
defaulted to 2). When set to 0 only the receivers that are closer to the actual location
of the alarm will be considered in the location calculation. As the setting is raised
more distant receivers will be included in the alarm calculation. Typically lower
settings are better than higher settings. This setting should be changed if there are
known problems with the location using the Strong Algorithm. The Enable Algorithm
Tweaks checkbox must be checked for this to be displayed.
