Note
Attempting to select a date or time beyond the limits of the log sets the input
to that limit.
Select Properties in the Actions menu to view the times of the earliest and latest alarms in
the database.
The date uses a format from the Regional Settings of your Windows Control Panel.
Multi-Media reports uses true chronological lists of alarms only if care is taken to express
the date in numbers, as yyyy-MM-dd, in Microsoft Windows. To do so, consult the
documentation supplied with Microsoft Windows.
Your Multi SA can configure a Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit to call a specific PC when an
alarm is triggered by an event. Such a PC is then a Multi Alarm Station. A Multi Alarm Station
can be more effective than running many alarm sessions in sequence (a polling method),
especially on Multi systems that use dial-up connections.
Note
After updating or adding a new alarm station, you must click Update Security
on a maintenance session for each site that sends alarms to the station.
