Audio Control Panels
There are two Audio Control Panels, the Alarm Control Panel, and the Page Control Panel. The
panels appear as two buttons by default.
If the Alarm Control Panel is selected it will displace the Page Control Panel so that it appears under the
expanded Alarm Control Panel. Expanding the Alarm Control Panel will reveal all the alarms that have
been configured in the system.
If the Page Control Panel is selected, the Alarm Panel will close and appear above the expanded Page
Control Panel. Expanding the Page Control Panel will reveal the Page button and Page Timer (while a
page is currently in progress - if that option has been enabled).
The Alarm Control and Page Control Panels will be discussed in further detail in their respective sections
in this manual.
Site View Button
The Site View button (which is only be visible in systems using more than one map), indicates
whether or not any of the other maps are currently active. If another map is actively broadcasting an
alarm or a page, the Site View button will pulse red.
To investigate the broadcast, select the site view button (taking you back to the site view), and then select
the appropriate Thumbviewer to go in to the Map View for that map.
Comm LED
The server sends a heartbeat to each connected client every five seconds to ensure that the network
communication is still operating normally between the server and the client.
The Comm LED is a visual indication of that heartbeat the server and it should blink briefly every few
seconds if communications are normal.
If the communication between the server and the MapGUI is lost, a message will appear telling the user
what to do. See the troubleshooting section of this manual for further details.
Close Button
If you wish to shut down the application, press the Close button (shown above) at the top right of
the display at any time. You will be asked to verify whether you want to quit after pressing the button to
prevent any accidental button presses.
If you are sure you want to quit, and want to bypass the quit verification screen, you may press the key
combination of CTRL+SHIFT+Q to quit the application.
