Sounds to be Associated with Specific 
Events and Alarms 
Sounds can be associated with specific alarms 
and events. Before a custom sound can be 
associated with an event, it must be activated 
here. 
Note: By default, your PC's "exclamation" sound will be 
associated with alarms that require resolution. This is 
set through the Windows control-panel. 
Sound Duration
: Sounds to be associated with specific 
alarms are played in a repeating pattern. As such, any 
sounds lasting longer than 2 seconds will be truncated 
(i.e., the first two seconds will be repeated). 
File Format: Guardall Director supports standard 
Windows sound (WAV) files. Up to 20 different sounds 
can be used (system-wide / for all accounts). 
Also See: To assign sounds to alarm messages, refer 
to "Customizing How Events are Displayed (Event 
Priority)".
