Four conditions of alerting can be activated and each is
configurable to the requirements of the facility. If any of
the running/tilt/still conditions occur, the handset will first
warn the user about an impending alarm and if the user
does not cancel the warning within a configurable
number of seconds the handset will start to alarm.
Duress
– should the user press the emergency button on the left side of the handset a
call is placed to an emergency number. A call can also be placed automatically if a
running/tilt/still alarm is initiated,
“Running” – the handset detects shaking in case a user runs for a configurable number
of seconds,
Tilt
– the handset is tilted (not vertical) for a configurable number of seconds (aka “man
down”),
Still
– the handset remains unmoved for a configurable number of seconds, potentially
indicating the user is no longer moving.
Administrator Configurable Options
Alarm detection and sensitivity parameters are configurable only by an administrator through the
configuration files on a central provisioning server. The personalAlarm.cfg file contains the
parameters that are listed in this document. Spectralink Personal Alarms configuration options
are not offered on the handset menus or through the Web Configuration Utility. They are only
configurable through the central provisioning server configuration files. See the
Spectralink
84-Series Deployment Guide
for a full explanation of how to use a central provisioning server for
Spectralink 84-Series handset provisioning and deployment.
Configurable options are
The Motion events -- Running, Tilt, and Still -- may be configured for degree of sensitivity
and duration before the warning becomes an alarm condition.
The Duress alert is a call to an emergency number when the user either a) presses the
Emergency Dial button on the left side of the handset twice within two seconds or b)
presses and holds the button for x seconds. This button must be configured to dial an
emergency number instead of its usual Push-to-talk function. The two features are
mutually exclusive.
The Motion events -- Running, Tilt, and Still -- can prompt an automatic emergency call.
The emergency call can be configured to force use of the speakerphone instead of
handset, headset or Bluetooth methods.
A Suspend function can be configured to allow the user to temporarily disable the
running/tilt/still sensing mechanism.
