Muting an Active Alarm
IntelliServe provides an option to silence the audible component of active
alarms occurring or initiated during the current session for the current user.
Silence alarms by selecting the Mute Alarm Sound checkbox from the
System Alarms menu.
Selecting this feature neither acknowledges existing alarms nor prevents future
alarms from occurring. In addition, this muting function is in operation for all
alarms only during the current session. If you log out, IntelliServe deactivates
this feature. Therefore, it will not be in operation the next time you log in.
You have to reselect this option to mute the alarms for each new session.
