Lock to network, upstream channel, downstream channel and location
range
These are set in the same way as for the standard repeater.
Repeater
If this is set, the call point acts as a repeater as well.
Manual alarm enable
Sets whether the hub can raise manual alarms, i.e. by pressing the red button.
Alert text
Modify text to define the message sent to pagers when the alarm is activated.
Default text is ‘Assist’.
Operation
Define how many button presses are required to trigger the manual alarm (1 or
2) selected by drop-down menu. Select either ‘Single click’ or ‘Double click’.
Alarm audible alert
If enabled, the device buzzer sounds when manual alarm is raised:
 Single pips – raising alarm
 Double pips – raised alarm (the hub has sent out an alarm message)
 Triple pips – alarm accepted by a pager user
Contact Input
Alert text
Modify text to define the message sent to pagers when the alarm is activated.
The default is ‘Red button’.
Operation
This sets the criteria for the operation of the alarm.
 Changeover
- pull cords that have a contact that changes state each time
the cord is pulled
 Momentary
- a momentary change of state on the 'raise' line input will
cause an alarm to be raised (e.g. contact open-closed-open, or closed-
open-closed). A second momentary change of state on the line will cause
the alarm to be cleared. The alarm can also be cleared using the clear line
or a long red button press. Really intended for connection to devices that
automatically raise and clear alarms
 Switched
- switch type input e.g. a thermostat
 Latched
– a momentary change of state on the 'raise' line input will cause
an alarm to be raised (e.g. contact open-closed-open, or closed-open-
closed). Any further change of state will have no action. The alarm must be
explicitly cleared by the clear line or red button. Allows the call point to be
used in nurse call or other situations where there is a risk of repeated
switch activation (ie. a patient repeatedly pulling on an emergency pull
cord)
Alarm escalation enabled
If the ‘Alarm escalation enable’ option is not selected, the call point will raise
the alarm only once and the audible alarm indication on the call point will
cancel after 30 seconds.
