Silencing and Testing the Audible Alarm

) occurs

on any system in the Enterprise View, an audible alarm is triggered on
the local system. The alarm is a series of beeps, which sound every five
minutes until the event is resolved.

You can change the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to
disable the alarm on any system. See
