Priority
Pagingisalwaysprioritybased.WhenmultipleAPMpagingconsolesareconnectedto
oneM2system,andmultipleAPM’swanttomakeanannouncementsimultaneously,the
prioritysettingswilldeterminewhichmessagewillbeheard.
TheprioritylevelisrelatedtotheaddressofeachAPMconsole,whichisunique.The
APMwiththelowestaddresshasthehighestpriority.Thismeans,whentwoAPM’sare
connectedandAPMwithaddress“002”isannouncingamessage,whileatthesame
timeAPMwithaddress“001”wantstoannounceamessage,themessagefromAPM
“002”willbeinterrupted,andthemessagefromAPM“001”willbeannounced.

ForvoicefilesandmessageswhicharestoredinsidetheAPMmemory,thepriorityworks
different.Aprioritynumbercanbeassignedtoeachstoredmessage,makingitpossible
togiveemergencymessagesahigherpriority.
