On first selection, a disclaimer explains that this option prevents the session from time-out and automatic log off that can potentially expose the computer to unauthorised access. Accepting, the disclaimer prevents it from re-appearing during future visits using the same computer.

Alarm when new instructions arrive

This option triggers an audible alarm when it detects the web browser receives new active instructions (target is not null), for one or more devices on the screen.

The check occurs with each page refresh, so the option is only active if the automatic screen refresh option is selected

4

Alarm when Instructions are too old

This option triggers an audible alarm when it detects that the instructions displayed on the screen have exceeded their expiry time. The expiry time is determined by the time elapsed since the Run Date Time of the instructions. This check occurs with each page refresh, so this option is only active if the automatic screen refresh option is selected

5

Alarm when disconnected

This option triggers an audible alarm when the web browser detects a loss of connectivity with the web portal server.

The check occurs with each page refresh, so the option is only active if the automatic screen refresh option is selected

Alarm options trigger when the browser refreshes, so if an alarm option inactive, select refresh screen periodically.
