Adding an Alarm Station: Name and Reports
1. Using Admin, click the Alarm stations tab.
2. To start adding an alarm station, display the Add Alarm station dialog box. Either:
• Click
on the toolbar.
• Click Add on the Actions menu.
3. Type a name in the Station Name box.
4. Select the name of one site or many in the Sites Available column.
5. Click the right-arrow to move the names to the Sites that report to this Station column.
6. You are now ready to define a connection (p.
203) and make the alarm station
operational (p. 218).
To reduce complexity: add alarm station definitions
For View operators using sites in many different areas, you have the option of creating two (or
more) alarm station records to shuttle alarms to the same (!) PC. Duplication can reduce
complexity, especially where customized dial-up connections are needed. For example, you could
have one definition for local sites, another for sites in other cities.
To reduce complexity further
To avoid complexity, use descriptive names such as: “[locality name] units”, “[city name] units”,
such as “Chicago sites” or “Fargo sites”.
Identifying and Defining a Connection
Enter either: dial-up information, an IP address or both, as listed in table 11–1. Connection data is
compulsory when adding an alarm station.
