598 Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual
• Routing Group: The alarm call is routed to the group of desired extensions configured as the
Operator, so that the alarm request can be served.
• Macros: These are short codes for simulating the Alarm call. These are used for SLTs which have special
function keys to send a fixed string to the system, when each function key is pressed. The system
interprets this string and translates it into a string that can be understood by the system. For example, a
SLT has a special function key for Alarm calls which sends the string 53 to the system. The system can be
configured to translate 53 received from the SLT in to the feature access code for Voice-guided Alarm
calls, 163.

• Select the Alarm Notification Type for the extensions.
