• Via a Routines API that can be used by third-party systems, includ-
ing fire systems, access control systems, and video security sys-
tems
A routine that has Allow DTMF enabled does not need a trigger.
However, most routines will have at least one associated trigger and
one or more actions. For example, if an administrator manually trig-
gers a lockdown routine, several actions could result, such as:
• Play a lockdown announcement
• Display lockdown instructions on monitors connected to NQ-
GA10PV devices.
• Close I/O controller output contacts to trigger third-party systems
that lock doors
• Initiate the check-in process
• Launch an emergency all call announcement
To allow a third-party system to launch a routine via the Routines API,
you must enable Allow API for the routine.
You can manually launch a routine that has Allow DTMF enabled
and stop a running routine from the dashboard.
In addition to the routine needing Allow DTMF enabled, the dash-
board must have Execute Routines CoS enabled.
