The System Monitor Function; Activating System Monitor At A Staff/Duty Or Patient Station - Dukane 4A3610B Operation Manual

Basic Station Operations

The System Monitor Function

A-8
When the system monitor is activated, all calls (normal, priority, and recall) will flash
and tone at the monitoring stations.
Depending on how your system is configured, the system monitor can be in master mode,
staff mode, or duty mode:
In master mode, a monitoring station will flash and tone for any calls placed from sta-
•
tions covered by the same base master as the monitoring station.
In staff mode, there are two stages: primary to primary, and primary to alternate.
•
Note:
This function does not operate if the ProCare 6000 system is equipped with version
5.XX video displays using MatchMaker ip.
In the first stage, the call is indicated at a monitoring station that has the same pri-
•
mary staff assignment as the calling station.
In the second stage, if the call is not responded to after a preprogrammed interval,
•
the call is indicated at a monitoring station with a primary staff assignment that
matches the calling station's alternate staff assignment.
In duty mode, a monitoring station will flash and tone for any calls placed from sta-
•
tions in the same duty area as the monitoring station.
If your system is configured for staff or duty monitor mode, the system activates staff
•
or duty mode first. However, if all base masters covering the monitoring station are
placed off duty, the system reverts to master mode.

Activating System Monitor at a Staff/Duty or Patient Station

Press the SYSTEM MONITOR button to activate the system monitor at a staff/duty or
patient station. See Figures A-5 and A-6 on the next page. When you do, this happens:

The red section of the corridor light illuminates (if so configured).
•
When a call covered by this station is placed in the system, this station sounds a tone
•
and flashes its SYSTEM MONITOR LED to indicate the call priority. See Staff/Duty
Station LED Flash Rates and Tone Rates on page 4-32.
To silence a call tone, see Silencing Incoming Call Tones at a Monitoring Station on
•
page A-10.
Notes:
Red presence is automatically registered when the SYSTEM MONITOR button is
•
pressed. Registering presence of a different level also activates the SYSTEM MONI-
TOR function and illuminates the associated corridor light. See Registering Staff
Presence on page 4-10.
The system monitor function is always active on staff/duty stations configured as duty
•
stations.
