Sounds to be Associated with
Specific Events and Alarms
Sounds can be associated with
specific alarms and events. Before a
custom sound can be associated with
an event, it must be activated here.
Note: By default, your PC's "exclamation"
sound will be associated with alarms that
require resolution. This is set through the
Windows control-panel.
Sound Duration: Sounds to be associated
with specific alarms are played in a repeating
pattern. As such, any sounds lasting longer than 2
seconds will be truncated (i.e., the first two seconds will
be repeated).
File Format: VEREX Director supports standard
Windows sound (WAV) files. Up to 20 different sounds
can be used (system-wide / for all accounts).
Also See: To assign sounds to alarm messages, refer
to "Customizing How Events are Displayed (Event
Priority)".
