Use the Alarms Configuration screen to configure the parameters that define a crowding event and the parameters for asset tracking alarms. These settings are applicable to all the sites managed by this ExtremeLocation Essentials account.
Crowding events occur when the ratio of number of visitors to number of staff in a category or a zone exceeds the minimum threshold value configured for that category or globally at the site level.
Note
The Crowding event is cleared when:
the ratio between the number of visitors to the number of staff goes below the configured setting.
the number of visitors to the category goes below the configured threshold as the visitors move away from the category.
When the time specified in the Event Time Out field under the screen elapses, the presence of this event is again polled for. If the event is cleared, then this alert is removed from the floor map.
Asset Tracking events occur when a tracked asset is not seen within its permitted area for a set period of time, or has entered an area where it is not permitted into, or has exited an area to which it is restricted to. The settings in this screen define the time out after which an alarm is raised if the device is not seen and the time out after which the alarm itself is removed.
To configure the different alarm parameters:
The Alarm Configuration screen displays.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum Visitor Count | Set the minimum number of visitors to staff per zone that will trigger a global real-time crowding event. |
| Event Timeout | Set the number of minutes that will transpire between events being triggered for that region. Default value is 30 minutes. |
Note
If there are no staff in a category, an event is triggered when the Minimum Visitor Count is exceeded. If there are staff in the category, then the Threshold is used to trigger the events.
