Changing the Primary Connection
If many connections to a unit are set up, drag the most commonly used connection to the
first position in the Connections to the Site list, while
Adding a Site , page 35 , or Updating a
Site on page 37 .
Addressing Alarms to an Alarm Station
Prioritizing alarm stations is optional and applies only if many Rapid Eye alarm stations
were created by your organization’s Multi SA.
Cascading Alarm Stations and Priority
Your Multi system can have one or many alarm stations. With many alarm stations,
cascading is automatic and customizable. You can specify which alarm stations your
Multi-Media units try to reach first.
Cascade Sequence
To insure against alarm station unavailability, you can:
• Assign more than one alarm station to a unit
• Set the order in which alarm stations are called.
Preparations
Before you prioritize alarm stations:
• Create Alarm stations using the Alarm Station tab. See Adding an Alarm Station Name
and Reports on page 218 .
• Set events to trigger alarms. An alarm station is ineffective until events are set to
trigger alarms. See
Events Defined on page 205 .
Sequencing Site Alarm Stations
1. While Adding a Site , page 35 , the alarm station(s) that the site can call are listed. See
the Report Alarms to these Alarm Stations pane of the Add/Update Site window.
2. To change the order of an alarm station, drag its name to the position that you want it
to have in the list.
3. Click Save and Close to finish updating the site definition. The Admin window
reappears, listing your system sites on the Site tab.
4. Use View to update security for the Multi-Media unit. See Updating Security on a
Multi-Media Unit on page 143 .
