Setting an Alarm

Process

A maintenance session is used to set an event to trigger an alarm, as illustrated in figure
62. If your Multi user account cannot run a maintenance session, your Multi system
administrator
(Multi SA) can inform you about which alarms, if any, are set on your Multi
system.

Before you can set an alarm ...

Before you can start a maintenance session, your Multi SA has to:

add the Modify configuration right to the user account. With this right, you can
start a maintenance session at a site and to set events to be ignored, trigger
alarms or to be logged; this right also enables a View operator to configure
cameras and to perform many other maintenance tasks. See your Multi SA for
more information on the other tasks.

grant access to the site(s) assigned to operator(s) by their supervisors.
