NDA-30079 Revision 1.0Page 1 Sentry User GuideIntroduction Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal. What Sentry Alarm Control Terminal Does You can use the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal with one or more Sentry OAI Monitor applications, such as Emergency Conference and Annoyance Trap, to monitor conference calls and to identify annoying callers. The Sentry Alarm Control Terminal allows you to monitor emergency conferences while they are actually happening (real-time). For example, if someone calls the extension assigned for reporting a fire, you will see the caller’s location and extension, and whether or not the call has been answered. Unique Configuration Options Each terminal can be configured separately. For example, if your job is to monitor only fire emergency calls, your terminal can be configured with only that option. Another terminal may be configured to include all options from all applications. It just depends on the needs of the person using the terminal. You can also configure the way your Sentry Alarm Control Terminal screens and windows work, as well as function key assignments. Color assignments allow easy recognition of each feature on the terminal. Color options such as bold and blinking text allow you to see which features are active and visible. The Sentry Alarm Control Terminal comes with default settings for screen setup and color. You will see the default settings for the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal screens in the next chapter. If you want to change default settings, see your administrator or refer to the Sentry Alarm Control Installation Guide. Applications The following applications, in addition to Sentry Alarm Control Terminal, are documented in this guide: Emergency Conference (see Chapter 3) Annoyance Trap (see Chapter 4) Executive Override (see Chapter 5)
