6.13 EVENT Report Client
³
eCNA
The EVENT Report is a special type of message that the eCNA will, if enabled, send unsolicited to the
client. The client can decide to act on it or not. The message is sent at the beginning of the event.
This is an open loop message so there is no response to this type of message and client should not
respond. It is possible for an event to generate more than one message. For example, a Fire Stop
will generate ‘FIRESTOP’ and ‘ALLSTOP’ messages. The client should discard messages it does not
care about.
The ‘SENDFx’ messages are user-defined messages that can be used for any purpose. These
messages are generated with the ‘CAI SendFx’ program/macro instruction. Names can be assigned
to each of these messages from the CAI SendFx Names screen.
Example Instruction: CAI SendFx 1:Start Playlist
