2. Select an action request entry and respond with the appropriate
answer. The left and right arrow buttons allow the operator to access
other action requests. The action request package allows the operator
to define five types of requests.
• The Multi-Choice request consists of up to four different answers,
from which the operator chooses one.
• The Enter Value request prompts the operator to enter a new
value for a particular tag attribute.
• The Acknowledge request asks the operator to acknowledge that a
request occurred.
• The View request answers itself automatically when the operator
displays it on the screen.
• The Event Log request does not turn on the action request icon.
However, it does send a message to the system log when triggered.
