Communications Test Function
A communications test function has been provided to test communications between
ARM and the remote-ARM unit and update the status. This should be done after a
new device is installed. To test a device, position the cursor over the test button and
click the left mouse button and ARM will call the remote-ARM unit. When the test
is complete a dialog box stating the result of the test will be displayed.

There is a status bar located at the bottom of the screen. This status bar displays the
current status of the system.
Alarm View Screen Overview
The Alarm View Screen provides a quick view of all the alarms (acknowledged and
unacknowledged) in the entire system. The alarms are displayed in chronological
order from the newest to the oldest. The unacknowledged alarms are displayed in
red, and the acknowledged alarms are displayed in blue. Clicking any of the alarms
in this view causes the program to switch to the device view of the selected alarm.
A scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen is provided to scroll through the
alarm list. A menu bar, at the top of the screens, is provided to navigate to other
screens. The contents of this screen can be printed to a printer or file.
