    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)

    Chapter 2 Using Sentry Alarm Control Terminal
    This chapter describes the procedures for using the Sentry Alarm Control 
    Terminal.
    Logging In
    As with many of the Sentry Alarm Control Terminal features, the Log In screen is 
    optional. If your terminal is configured to show the Log In screen, use the 
    following steps to log in:
    1. When the Log In screen displays, (Figure 2-1, “Log In screen” on page 3) the 
    cursor appears in the Login Name field. Type your log in name and press Enter. 
    2. Type your password in the Password field and press Enter. You will not see the 
    password when you type it.
    The NEC Sentry main screen (Figure 2-2, “NEC Sentry screen” on page 4) 
    displays. 
    Note:
    If you don’t know your log in name or password, see your administrator
    .
