Alerts
Type of alerts
The system has different alert types:
• Warnings: This type of alert announces conditions that could
result in unwanted system response or eventual failure if no
action is taken. A warning is accompanied by an audible signal (2
short signals, repeated as a Warning if not acknowledged). The
warning icon flashes until the warning is acknowledged.
• Cautions: This is information about danger and caution objects
that require attention. Cautions have no audible signal.
Alert notifications
When an alert is triggered, the following happens:
• the alert icon flashes
• the alerts pop-up opens listing the alert
• the alert is added to the alerts list
Acknowledging a message
An alert dialog has different options for acknowledging the
message:
• Silence
Mutes the siren locally for all units in the same network alert
group. The alert dialog remains on the display.
• ACK / Acknowledge
Sets the alert state to acknowledged. The siren/buzzer stops and
the dialog is removed.
However, the alert remains active in the alert listing until the
reason for the alert has been removed.
There is no time-out on a message or the siren. They remain active
until they are acknowledged or until the reason for the message is
rectified.
