You may mouse-over the BandScanner display screen and click 

on  any  vertical  bar.    The  radio  will  tune  to  that  station  and  

bring up the 

Now Playing

 page. 

ALARMS 

Alarm Status 

Signal-related  alarms  light  front-panel  LEDs  and  give  flashing 

notifications on the front-panel OLED screen.  The front-panel 

LEDs are also reflected on the 

Now Playing

 page and in the 

Alarm 

Status

  area  of  this  Web  

interface page as shown 

here.    Any  or  all  alarms  

are also able to initiate 

email or SMS/text messages to selected personnel, and alarms 

are logged for later analysis or finger-pointing.  Alarms are also 

assignable to rear-panel GPO ‘tally’ outputs to interface with 

remote-control equipment or local lights and sirens. 

Front-panel LEDs will begin blinking immediately upon register-

ing  an  alarm  magnitude-related  condition  (warning),  and  will  

light  steadily  once  the  alarm  timing  condition  has  been  met  

(alarm).  Alarm conditions must first be set-up as described in 

the  remainder  of  this  section.    Following  that,  the  email/SMS  

messaging and rear-panel GPO tallies may be programmed.  

These procedures will be described in the 

Setup 

and 

Email

 

Webpage discussions, respectively. 

NOTE:

  Do please read the following discussions in their entire-

ty.    A  setup  explained  for  one  alarm  that  is  common  (or  quite  

similar) to the setup of others may not be repeated in full detail 

a second time. 

Audio Loss 

Alarm:  On

    simply 

‘arms’ the function 

for  loss  of  audio.  

With 

Alarm: Off

 se-

lected,  there  will 

be  no  front-panel 

AUDIO LOSS

  LED 

or  corresponding 

Web interface indi-

cator   on   the  

Now 

Playing

  or 

Alarm

 

pages.    There  will  be  no  closure  at  a  rear-panel  GPO  terminal,  

nor will the SOFIA 567 send SMS/text or Email alerts to station 

personnel or log the alarm.  This applies to all alarms. 

Level (dB):

 displays the current audio metering level of the off-

air program being received.  This is ‘grayed-out’ because there 

is no adjustment to make in this case.  The audio level is shown 

to make alarm setup easier.
