Extra pictograms

Displaying disabled alarms (for more than 8 inputs)

When you use external IO-modules, Dupline modules, or ARA with linked diallers, there is not enough space on the dashboard to display all disabled alarms with grey icons. In that case, the dashboard shows a separate button as soon as you disable one or more alarms. The button disappears automatically when you enable all alarms again.

The web GUI always shows disabled alarms with grey indicators, even if you have more than 8 inputs.

Switch output

Use this pictogram to switch linked outputs. See Settings | System | Outputs for more information.

Notifications on the dashboard (logged in or logged out)

1. Alarm notification

When you click the notification, you have two options:

Only turn off buzzer This mutes the buzzer. The buzzer is unmuted when the Octalarm alarm dialler records no activity for a set number of minutes.

Accept all alarms By accepting all alarms, the Octalarm alarm dialler does not start a new call for these alarms until the waiting time between repetitions has expired. See Alarms | Configure inputs: Waiting time between repetitions for more information.

2. Update available

• Press the notification to go to the update menu.
• Start the update.

The update takes a few seconds. The dialler then restarts automatically.

Changing settings

Depending on their permissions, contacts can adjust settings via the Edit button. See Contacts | Add and edit: Authorisation, username and password for more information about permissions.

Customise settings

• Go to the desired menu: Contacts (), Alarms () or Settings ().
• Press Edit (located at the top right or at the bottom of a scroll list).
• Change the settings as required.
• Press Apply or Save (located at the top right).

Tip: You can also view, create, and edit settings remotely. The available options depend on your user role. See The portal: portal.octalarm.com | Remote setup (global), Remote setup (local) and Adésys Alarm App for further explanation.
