Initiating an Alarm from the Site View
The figure below illustrates the process of initiating an alarm from the Site view. Initiating alarms from
the Site view will cause the alarm to be initiated in every area on that particular map.
Figure 22. Initiating Alarms from the Site View
If there are ten areas on Map 2, and 14 areas on Map 3, the result would be that all 24 areas on those maps
would be receive the alarm that was selected. This is a quicker way to initiate alarms that require a
broader scope than alarms initiated in smaller areas.
The Thumbnail Status LED will flash red when the alarm (or any other audio event) is currently active on
that map. This indicator tells the user that there is a current broadcast in progress on a specific map.
By then clicking on that map, you’ll be taken to the Map View where more specific information is
available about what alarm is playing, and where.
An alternate way to find out detailed status information would be to open the Status Monitor, which is
covered in a later section.
