WIRELESS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
System transactions such as changing an access level or clearing an alarm display in blue on a
white background. To review and respond to alarms, select the Alarms Tab.
Alarms Tab
When an alarm is triggered, such as a door is blocked open or forced entry, the system creates
an alarm record. When you select the Alarms Tab, unanswered alarms display in red and
activate an alarm sound .wav file on your computers sound system. When you “silence” an alarm
in WAMS Transactions, you are simply telling the system that you have recognized the alarm
condition. The alarm sound .wav file will stop on your computer system for that alarm and the
display color changes to yellow. A log will be generated as to when the alarm was silenced. The
user can add a comment to this log to further define the incident.
Remember, when you “Silence” an alarm in WAMS Transactions, you are only silencing a .wav
file; you are not resolving the problem. It is important to establish Alarm Response protocols
within your facility and follow up with action. See Responding to Alarms on page 24 for more
information.
