Disabling of new alarms requires that the server, camera or other device is represented on a map
in the Client’s Map section (see page 33).
Do the following:
1. On the map, right-click the map indicator representing the required server, camera, or
other device. This will bring up a menu.
2. From the menu, select Set Alarm Status > Disable new
alarms... This will open the Disable New Alarms
window:
3. Select whether you want to disable alarms for a certain
period of time (for example five hours) or until a
specific point in time (for example until 2008-06-15
14:49:59.
• If disabling alarms for a certain period of time,
select Disable for, and specify the required
period of time in the associated fields
• If disabling alarms until a specific point in time,
select Disable until. In the associated field, specify the exact point in time when
you want to receive alarms again.
Time is indicated in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. By selecting a
date or time element (for example the day element), then clicking the field’s small
up/down buttons, you are able to specify exact values. Alternatively, simply
overwrite the values.
4. Click Save.
When you disable new alarms, the map indicator will still reflect the state of the latest
received alarm. When the selected time span ends, the indicator will automatically begin
displaying any new alarms. See Map Indicator Overview on page 34 for further information
about the colors used in indicators.
Tip: The exact time at which the disabling of new alarms will end will be displayed in the Client’s
Information section: For a server, the information will appear on the Server tab (see page 41). For
a camera or other device, the information will appear on the Device tab (see page 42).
Tip: In case you want to want to receive alarms before the end of the defined time span, right-click
the map indicator representing the required server, camera, or other device, then select Set Alarm
Status > Enable new alarms from the menu that appears.
