HEGA Ethernet Gateway Web Interface Zone Group Characteristics Log Events Checking this option causes this event to appear on your printed daily reports. (See Reports.) Use Intercom This option opens a voice path to the apartment from which this alarm was received so that staff can immediately communicate with the resident in need. (Hardwired Data Router required.) Clear Required This option allows you to clear an alarm from the console without resetting it from the initiating device. (As long as Reset Required is also unchecked.) Use Auxiliary Reporting Device This option works in conjunction with certain installed pieces of head end equipment: Auxiliary System, Central Station adapters, and Serial Input adapters. Reset Required This option requires an alarm to be reset from the initiating device in order to clear it from the console. (As long as Clear Required is also unchecked.) Warning: At least one option Clear Required or Reset Required must be checked for an alarm to report to your console. If neither option is checked, no alarm will appear on the console, but it will still appear on your pages if Use Pager is selected, on your staff phones if Use Intercom is selected, and on Auditrak if you are a subscriber. Use Pager This option triggers a page, either to your radios or to your pagers, whenever this alarm event is likewise triggered. To enable, disable, or map your pagers, see Pager Mapping. Use Staff Phone This option causes an alarm to also ring to staff phones connected to your Companion One system. (Requires an HICA Voice Gateway.) Use Local Relay This option allows an alarm to also trigger along a local relay. Use Bus Relay #1 and Use Bus Relay #2 This causes the appropriate relay (either 1 or 2) to close on the HSCA emergency call server. Clear Bus Relay on Acknowledge A silenced, reset, or cleared alarm opens the bus relays on the HSCA. Bind Reset If two or more events are bound, then you can reset the event from the originating device or you can reset the event from any other device whose event is bound to it. For example, if Emergency Call and Bath Ecall both have Bind Reset checked, then you can reset a bathroom alarm with an Emergency Call transmitter, and you can reset an Emergency Call with a Bath Ecall Transmitter. Dome Light Checking this option will trigger a flashing dome light if this event is triggered. (Requires a hardwired dome light.) 25
Zone Group Characteristics (continued) Verification Time For hardwired zones only, this setting will cause a signal from this initiating device to delay for a specified period of time (in seconds) before reporting to the console, pagers, radios, etc. Audible Delay Measured in minutes, this option sets how long an alarm must appear on a console before it triggers its first audible alarm. (A silent alarm still appears on the console immediately with the message Alarm tone delayed. Alerts to pagers, radio, and staff phones still create an audible alarm immediately.) Console Tone Type This option sets the audible style for each event level. You may choose one of 16 different options. Schedule Select a schedule for your alarm. No Schedule means an alarm can be triggered at any point during the day. See Event Schedules to edit and rename your zone group schedules. Resound Interval Measured in minutes, the amount of time in this field defines how long an alarm will remain silent on a console before it resounds. Note: Alarms will not resound again if an alarm has been active on the console longer than 1 hour. Staff Pendants All of your staff reset pendants are listed in this window. Click the X to remove a pendant. To add a new pendant, simply type the code into the field and click Add New Code. 26
HEGA Ethernet Gateway Web Interface Pager Mapping Select the zone group you wish to map from the Zone Group drop-down menu. Enable or disable pager groups (also called pager IDs or radio IDs for those using staff radios) by simply checking and unchecking boxes for Initial Day, Initial Night, Resounds Day, and Resounds Night. When finished, click Save Changes, or Discard Changes to undo. For more information about night schedules, see Night Schedules. For more information about enabling pager groups on your pagers, consult the Commtech 7950 pager guide in the Silversphere user manual, or consult your pager s manufacturer. Initial Day Checking this box for a pager group means that any pager or radio with that group enabled will receive all initial pages as triggered by setting off a device during the day. Initial Night Checking this box for a pager group means that any pager or radio with that group enabled will receive all initial pages as triggered by an initial alarm during a pre-defined night schedule. Resounds Day Checking this box for a pager group means that any pager or radio with that group enabled will receive a page for each alarm resound as determined by a resound period during the day. Resounds Night Checking this box for a pager group means that any pager or radio with that pager group enabled will receive a page for each alarm resound as determined by a resound period during a pre-defined night schedule. 27
Event Schedules Event schedules apply to events (or alarm types) within rooms or zones that are assigned to zone groups. For example, motion alarm events in a memory care unit may be set to a schedule that allows these events to activate only between the hours of 9 PM and 7 AM. At any other time of the day, events transmitted by those devices assigned to the motion alarm event will not be reported or recorded. Event schedules are assigned to events individually in the Zone Group settings. For more information about assigning schedules to events, see Zone Groups. Night Schedule The night schedule applies to paging, staff phones, and desk consoles. These devices can be configured such that they work one way during the day, and then, beginning at the time specified within the night schedule, those devices begin working a different way during the night. For example, if a community has two consoles one at the reception desk and one at the nurses station alarms may go to the reception desk during the day, but at night, that desk may not be occupied, so the console can be configured on a night schedule. In such a case, alarms are re-routed to the nurses station during the night. Check-in Schedule The check-in schedule applies to apartments from which you expect your residents to check in. The Start Day and Start Time define when the system begins polling for active check-ins and keeping track of them within your check-in report. The Stop Day and Stop Time define when a reminder will appear on your desk console reminding you to begin your daily check-in follow-up. If you subscribe to Voice Services automatic check-in follow-up, then the automated reminders begin going to your residents 15 minutes before the Stop Time. 28

Click to setup your hardwired station zone counts. While this test can keep track of wireless stations by their individual hexidecimal codes, hardwired stations have no such identifier. By setting the hardwired count, you can at least monitor how many succesfully tested alerts came from this room and match them to the number expected usually to coincide with the number of stations and smoke alarms. (See page 40.) Click this to refresh the page and see the results of your testing below. 38
HEGA Ethernet Gateway Web Interface Zone testing Once you begin to run a test, you can view the testing progress below the configuration pane. You will see Not Successfully Tested zones for any zone that has equipment installed and none of the equipment has been tested. Partially Tested lists zones that have had some of their equipment tested. Successfully Tested lists those zones that have been entirely tested. This list updates once every minute. To update it immediately, click Refresh Now. Once you have started a test, you may toggle the automatic refresh on and off with a checkbox. In the above example, none of the zones have yet been successfully tested. Click the plus sign beside a zone to view the alarm types within the zone that have equipment assigned to them. For a zone to be successfully tested, all devices must be triggered and reset. Also, each wireless device must also have been detected by two or more receivers, and its automated supervision must be detected by two or more wireless receivers. 39
Setting up Hardwired Zones To properly test a hardwired zone, you must first configure your system to expect a certain number and type of alarms from each zone. 1. Click Setup Hardwired Counts to begin configuring your zones. You will see a list of all available hardwired zone groups. (For more information on zone groups, see the Workbench 2.0 User Guide.) Each group shows every alarm type that may occur. Usually, you will not be testing for each of these. 2. Place a check next to only those alarms you will be testing, and type a number into the field for the number of times you expect this event to occur. 3. Click Apply Count to Group to apply these settings across every zone in that zone group. 4. It s not uncommon for some zones to have a different expected alarm count from other zones within the same zone group. If you have a specific zone with a different number of pull stations, for example, you can edit that information by scrolling down to the zone and updating it directly. 5.
