Setting Response Priority for Alarm Notification

TIP!

You can set the FAULT RELAY to trigger when these failures last for 19 minutes or more. An
alarm panel or other external device can be preset to warn your organization if a failure
occurs. A power failure also triggers the relay, but does so immediately.
A system failure is not a Multi-Media event, but it can trigger Multi-Media events. See
on page 146, for more information.

Like most Multi-Media security features, use of an alarm station is optional.
An alarm station is a PC that is designated to receive alarms first, from one or more
Multi-Media units. View software needs to run on the PCs designated as alarm stations.
Their setup is discussed in
station, you might need to obtain some point-to-point connectivity information.
After making an alarm station operational (see
231), notification of an event's occurrence can be:
• Immediate. When Multi-Media units are networked to an alarm station, or you are
running an alarm session at the site when and where the alarm occurs, or your PC is
set up for Live alarm sessions and you happen to be connected to the site where the
alarm is triggered.
• Within the minute. Your Multi-Media System Administrator has configured a dial-up
Multi-Media unit to call an alarm station running View as soon as possible, after an
alarm. Should the alarm station be unavailable, an attempt to call it back is made
every minute, until a connection to the alarm station is established.
• Deferred. When a Multi-Media unit is not assigned to call an alarm station, the unit
holds the alarms until you start an alarm session for the site. If deferral meets your
organization's needs, logging the events rather than having them trigger alarms could
be a good alternative strategy.
• Indirect. A FAULT RELAY on a Multi-Media unit can warn a Multi SA or Multi-Media
alarm station through an alarm panel. See
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) user names and passwords are only used in some
dial-up connections.
This procedure might not apply to your Multi-Media system.
