Run Buddy Check
This checkbox enables and disables the
buddy check feature of the system.
When checked, the central console
periodically issues a command (by the
transponders) to each receiver, to
activate its on-board transmitter. The
console then compares the signals
received from neighboring receivers to
the results of earlier buddy checks,
identifying receivers that appear to
have changed sensitivity.
Day Month Format
Checking this box causes all dates to
be presented in day month year format
rather than the month day year format
used in North America.
High Speed Buddy Check
Checking this box allows the buddy
check to run as fast as it can.
Normally, only one buddy check
transmission is sent each minute.
Show Maintenance Levels
Checking this box causes the central
console to display the signal strength
measured by each receiver as a number
(from 1 to 15) inside the Receiver icon
when maintenance alarms are displayed;
otherwise, the floor number is
displayed.
Show Test Levels
This checkbox causes signal strength
levels to appear on the receiver icons
when displaying tests on the Main Map
Screen; otherwise, the green Test icons
are displayed.
Enable Algorithm Tweaks
When checked, this checkbox causes the
map scale, alarm spot size, and depth
settings to be displayed in this
screen. It also controls the display of
the SA% and algorithm settings in the
Transponder Edit Screen.
Pager Communications
Normally, this box is not checked. If
checked, the communications to the
dial-up wide area paging system through
the modem displays on the History
Screen. This function is only used to
diagnose communications problems to the
paging system.
Monitor Communications
Normally, this box is not checked. If
checked, the communications to the
modem displays on the History Screen.
This function is only used to diagnose
communications problems with the modem.
Display Maintenance Alarm
Normally, when a maintenance alarm is
received from a maintenance transmitter
the red light on all receivers hearing
the transmission flashes for 5 seconds.
If this box is checked, the receiver
with the loudest reception level turns
on both the red and green lights for 5
seconds.
Sound Maintenance Alarm
If this box is checked, the receiver
with the loudest reception level on a
maintenance alarm turns on its sounder
for 5 seconds. Normally, this box is
not checked.
Disable Idle Processing
Normally, this software registers with
Windows to return to the Security
Escort System if there is any idle
time. The Security Escort System can
use it to speed up its response to
serial communications and other
background tasks. If checked, the
software is not registered for the idle
time. Normally, this box is not
checked. Windows NT and 2000 can show
the amount of time each application
(task) is taking. When this checkbox is
not checked, it may appear that
Security Escort System is hogging the
processor resources. This is not true
because the Security Escort System is
only taking the time that Windows gives
it through the idle process. To prove
this, check this checkbox. The amount
of time the Security Escort System
needs drops dramatically and the
Security Escort System continues to
operate normally (same communications
responses are slowed by several hundred
milliseconds).
No Buddy Check Delay
If checked, the software does not
impose the hour between buddy checks
from the same receiver. Normally, this
box is not checked and should not be
checked for live systems.
No Password To Exit
If checked, the software exits without
asking for a password. Normally, this
box is not checked.
No Password on Reentry
If checked, the software does not ask
for a password when the user switches
to another program and then switches
back to the still running Security
Escort. Normally, this box is not
checked.
