This name will be used for notifications that are sent out from this location to indicate which installation the calls are
coming from.

Setup: Zones
Zones are used to categorize Masters, Residents, and Staff into different groups. This makes it much easier to specify which
Masters and which Staff members are associated to various call types and/or locations. The usage of Zones is entirely
optional.
Zone names are normally geographical areas of a facility or location types. For example, ‘East Wing’, ‘Seventh Floor’, and
‘Public Bathrooms’ are all logical zone names. You can setup as many zones as needed. Just click the ‘Add’ button and then
select the newly created zone, which will be called ‘Zone #’. You will then be able to rename the zone whatever you would
like. Once you have renamed the zone, be sure to click
save
to apply your changes.
You will be able to associate your various Masters, Residents and Staff to their zone(s) in their respective areas. Once you do
this, you can also specify a relay board number and position this zone’s (optional) Corridor Zone Light is connected to. Zones
can also be deleted at any time. Deleting a zone
does not
delete the device entities that are members of that zone.

Setup: Floor Plans
In this area, you can specify your facility floor plans. Images must be uploaded to one of your system master stations. The
photo can be an image in the format or JPG, PNG or GIF. For more information on uploading your Floor Plans, please see
“Uploading Images to your Master Stations” on page 27. You’ll need to add a Floor Plan item for each floor or area of your
facility you have a floorplan for and name it accordingly (1st floor, 2nd floor, etc..). Then use the drop-down box to specify the
file name of the floorplan image for that floor or section. To assign a Location’s coordiantes on a floor plan image, see page
25.
