To reduce complexity: add alarm station definitions
For View operators using sites in many different areas, you have the option of creating two (or
more) alarm station records to shuttle alarms to the same (!) PC. Duplication can reduce
complexity, especially where customized dial-up connections are needed. For example, you could
have one definition for local sites, another for sites in other cities.
To reduce complexity further
To avoid complexity, use descriptive names such as: "[locality name] units", "[city name] units",
such as "Chicago sites" or "Fargo sites".
