Panic button status reporting
When supplied as part of a TAM-262 kit, the TAM-242 unit will enter an Alert state based on the state
of the panic button. The switch is normally CLOSED and changes to an OPEN state when the switch
is pressed. When the switch status changes from CLOSED to OPEN, an extra position report is
generated and an 'Alert' flag is set in the message. The TAM-242 will then generate further Alert
messages for the next 4 hours at the defined Alert reporting interval. After 4 hours the unit will revert
back to standard tracking messages at the normal reporting interval.
