1. LED on active device will turn on (RED) to indicate its activated status.
2. Sends Alarm Verification message to network panels, remote displays, history buffer, printers, and
PC monitoring stations.

State of activated device (defaulted off).
4. Displays Alarm Verification event on the LCD display as follows:
