Initiating Pages
Because there are a couple of different ways to initiate pages from the MapGUI Control Center, each will
be described below as a step process. This section will cover the most common ways to initiate pages
from the MapGUI client.
Overriding current broadcasts in progress as well as unsuccessful page attempt results will also be
discussed in the next section.
Initiating a Page from the Site View
The figure below illustrates the process of initiating a page from the Site View. Initiating pages from the
Site view will cause that page to be broadcast in every area configured on each selected map.
The examples below illustrate initiate pages using the default Page button style, and the Page Timer
Option is also being used.
Figure 23. Initiating Pages from the Site View
The Thumbnail Status LED flashes red when the page (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.
