More information
Attendants cancel an alert by pressing the crisis alert button three times. The first
button push turns off the siren, the second stops the lamp from flashing, and the
third clears the display.
Digital phone users cancel the siren by pushing the crisis alert button. If you have
set the system so that only one user needs to respond, this stops the alerting at all
phones. If all users must respond, each phone continues to alert until that user
presses the crisis alert button to acknowledge the alarm. The emergency caller’s
name and extension remain on the display at this point. To completely cancel an
alert and clear their displays, users press the Normal button.
Once you administer Crisis Alert, the switch still records each emergency call and
sends a record to the journal printer, if available. If not, you can view the
emergency log with the command
list emergency.
