3.13 Switching event message routes
Event messages are programmed with a primary and an alternate
message route. Typically, a fire alarm system uses the primary
message route during daytime operation and the alternate
message route during night time operation.
In most applications, a time control is used to automatically
switch event messages over to their alternate route setting. When
the time control is restored, event messages are automatically
switched back to their primary route settings. You can override
the event message route in effect using the Alternate Message
Route command on the Activate menu and the Primary Message
Route command on the Restore menu.
Note:
The default setting for both primary and alternate message
routes is "All Cabinets." When both event message route settings
are the same, switching message routes does not have any effect.
Switching from primary to alternate message routing
Use the Alt Msg Route (alternate message route) command on
the Activate menu to switch event message routing from primary
message routing to alternate message routing.
To switch from primary to alternate message routing:
1.
Log on using the level 2 password.
2.
From the main menu, choose Activate, then Alt Msg Route.
Switching from alternate to primary message routing
Use the Prm Msg Route (primary message route) command on
the Restore menu to switch event messages routing from
alternate message routing to primary message routing.
To switch from alternate to primary message routing:
1.
Log on using the level 2 password.
2.
From the main menu, choose Restore, then Prm Msg Route.
