Sound Alerts
Sound Alerts can be setup and used in the Doors.NET software to generate a sound at
the client PC for different scenarios, usually when a critical event occurs.
You may want to know when a controller goes offline, if a possible intruder is detected,
or when someone attempts to force open a door.
Different sounds can also be generated from different hardware objects on the system
even though these readers, controllers, or inputs may be generating exactly the same
event types.
The main purpose of sound alerts is to bring the alert to the attention of a system oper-
ator, such as a security guard, who may not always be watching the screen.
This procedure documents how to set up a sound alert for when a door forced event
occurs at a certain reader. The setup uses a combination of
Device Types and Filters ,
and it assumes Advanced View is enabled. The controller type being used is a PXL500-
2D using MS Series readers.
Sound Alerts Setup
1. The first step is to generate the required event in the Doors.NET software.
NOTE: If using PXL controllers and you also want the reader to go into 'Alarm State'
when this event occurs (beeping and red LED) then you will need to make the following
selection in the reader properties.
