To ensure a user is aware of these alarm response notifications the application can even
override a user’s volume settings.
Personal Alarms configurable parameters
Alarm detection and sensitivity parameters are configurable only by an administrator through the
configuration files on a central provisioning server. The Spectralink Personal Alarms .cfg file
contains the parameters that are listed in this document.
Caution
When a motion timeout setting is changed, the new value does not take effect until
the handset detects a new occurrence of that motion condition and starts timing its
duration to determine if warning should be raised. If the handset has already
detected that motion condition (e.g. handset is currently tilted) and is currently
timing the duration, the new timeout value will not be used until the handset exits
that motion condition state (e.g. no longer tilted) and then enters it again.

Parameter
Permitted values
Default
up.PersonalAlarm.still.sensitivity
0-7
0
0 disable, 1 least sensitive, 7 most sensitive
As the sensitivity increases the handset must be more stationary to trigger a no movement alarm. The specific
sensitivity setting appropriate for a given application is site/user specific.
up.PersonalAlarm.still.timeout
5-300 (secs)
7
The still condition must persist for this amount of time before a warning occurs.
up.PersonalAlarm.tilt.sensitivity
0-7
0
0 disable, 1 least sensitive, 7 most sensitive
Indicates the degree of tilt from horizontal that triggers an alarm. This setting
is modified by the timeout setting that determines the amount of time the
position (or lower) is maintained before an alarm is triggered.
In the most sensitive position setting, a slightly leaning position will trigger the
alarm.
In the least sensitive position setting, the body must be nearly horizontal
before an alarm triggers.
Experiment with these settings until you find the right sensitivity for your
facility.
Horizontal movement can interfere with the handset's ability to sense the tilt
condition. If the tilt alarm is the only motion alarm configured, we recommend
using a relatively high sensitivity setting.
up.PersonalAlarm.tilt.timeout
5-300 (secs)
7
The tilt condition must persist for this amount of time before a warning occurs.
