Making an Alarm Station Operational

What a Multi SA needs to do
After adding an alarm station, p. 209, and defining how a Multi-Media unit connects to it, p. 209:
You need to update security for each Multi-Media unit involved. See
Multi-Media
An alarm station is of little use if you have not set any events to trigger alarms. See
Defined, on p. 193.
Use View software, the Sites tab, to prioritize alarm stations. See
Station, on p. 46.
Operators of PCs not designated as alarm stations can also receive alarms sent by a Multi-
Media unit, by running an Alarm session using View. To find out how to run an Alarm session,
see the Remote View Operator Guide.

Using More than one Alarm Station

If enough sites need customization, you could create two (or more) alarm station records to shuttle
alarms to one PC: one for long distance sites, another for local sites, i.e., within the same calling
area. To avoid confusion, use descriptive names, such as:
"Fire sensors – local calls" or "Fire sensors – long distance", and so on. You can then add the
alarm station most appropriate for a site, on a site-by-site basis. How to create alarm station
records is explained in

Creating Extra Alarm Station Definitions for the same PC

A Multi SA has the option of creating two (or more) alarm station records to shuttle alarms to the
same PC: for example, one for local sites, and another for remote sites. To avoid complexity, use
descriptive names such as: "local sensors" and "remote sensors". To create alarm station records,
