Device Types
The Device Types in the system are used with the event notification options configured
in the monitoring tab of the controller, panel, reader or monitor point (input). The Device
Types are user-definable groupings of sensor inputs or readers each with their own
description, priority, and event type options. When a new event is received that has
acknowledgment enabled, the event is displayed in the pending event notification dialog
box in a priority ranking based on its device type. Each device types has a priority setting
(0-99), a sound file selection and a sound repeat option is also available for each event
type. There are many sample sounds which can be found in the C:\Ker-
i\DoorsNET\Sounds directory in a .WAV format - you can also add your own sounds to
this folder.
As well as being ranked by the device type priority they are also ranked by the event
type (in the following order: alarm types, trouble types, mask types, clear types), then by
the priority of the individual sensor and then sorted for the oldest event).
To add a new Device Type, click the 'Add Device Type' button.
