Assignment
Message buttons 1-14 can be used to broadcast prerecorded messages over the sys-
tem. They must be designated as
Fire Evacuation
or
Mass Notification
in the Assignment field.
For combination fire and MNS applications, messages must be organized per the system priority
setting. For example, if MNS has priority over fire, all MNS messages must be assigned/recorded
to higher priority message buttons than the fire messages. If fire has priority, then all fire messages
must be assigned/recorded to higher priority message buttons than the MNS messages. Message
button 1 has highest priority.
