6.1 About Alarms
Flexibility
A Multi system administrator (Multi SA) can set a Multi-Media unit to:
•
log events and/or have them trigger an alarm. No special hardware is needed
for such alarms: they ring on an operator’s PC. By default, some events are
always logged, for administrative purposes.
•
send alarms to a designated PC. Such a PC is then known as a Multi-Media
alarm station. See 6.10: Alarm Station, starting on p. 6–20.

Alarm notification
When an alarm reaches a View operator’s PC, the alarm bell icon in View appears to
vibrate and the PC produces a beeping sound (figure 55).

Alarms are not acknowledged; only the ringing stops. Ringing resumes if session is
reopened.
