Managing Alarms and Tones
C4000 provides tones that can be used with events, such as sched-
ules, or as audio indicators, such as alarms. You can also download
and generate customized tones or select to use a line input channel
as the tone source. Default tones include white noise and pink noise
that you can use to tune paging volumes for time-based zones.
4.1 Stopping and Starting Alarms
Alarms are audio files used to indicate a situation, such as a fire.
When you elect to sound an alarm, only the tones with a type of
Alarm appear in the selection list.
To start and stop an alarm:
Step 1 On the navigation bar, select Dashboard.
Note: Make sure that stations and zones have been configured and
that the station you are using to launch an alarm or tone has the
appropriate Class of Service (CoS) parameters set. The navigation
bar does not appear if you are not authorized to make changes to
the C4000 configuration. Contact your system administrator or
refer to the Nyquist C4000 System Administrator Manual.
