Select Properties in the Actions menu to view the times of the earliest and latest alarms in
the database.
The date uses a format from the Regional Settings of your Windows Control Panel.
Multi-Media reports uses true chronological lists of alarms only if care is taken to express
the date in numbers, as yyyy-MM-dd, in Microsoft Windows. To do so, consult the
documentation supplied with Microsoft Windows.
Your Multi SA can configure a Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit to call a specific PC when an
alarm is triggered by an event. Such a PC is then a Multi-Media Alarm Station. A Multi-Media
Alarm Station can be more effective than running many alarm sessions in sequence (a
polling method), especially on Multi-Media systems that use dial-up connections.
Note
After updating or adding a new alarm station, you must click Update Security
on a maintenance session for each site that sends alarms to the station.
Your organization's Multi SA sets Multi-Media sites to call/callback Multi-Media alarm
stations. Critical sites should be setup this way to ensure that alarms reach your alarm
station, even if no alarm session is in progress. For example, callbacks are effective for:
•
A large number of sites. It can be impractical to start, use and end alarm sessions on
many Multi-Media units, especially with a dial-up connection. Having a Multi SA set up
a callback frees you of polling the sites for alarms.
•
24/7 situations. Having a Multi SA set up a callback ensures notification of your alarm
station. Alarm sessions can be ended.
