has been enabled, the Enter Initials dialog box will be displayed. Simply enter your
initials followed by the enter key and the alarm is acknowledged. In tracked and
secured systems, an operator with a security level of one or greater must be logged
on in order to acknowledge and alarm or clear. If no one has logged on prior to
