Audible alarm notification is appropriate for Stations used by operators; however, it may not
be appropriate for Stations used by production controllers and managers.
You can specify the system-wide characteristics of alarm notification, such as the duration of
the sound, and the frequency at which the sound repeats if an alarm is not acknowledged.
You can also disable audible alarming on particular Stations, as appropriate.
