Searching for a message
To search for a specific message in a large table, use the search input field (see
page 49). You can also thumb through the pages of a multiple page table (see
page 48). Furthermore, you can adapt the table display to your needs (see
page 47).
Sending Messages
You can send a message to one or multiple recipients which are equipped with a
message-capable device, e.g an Aastra 600 c/d handset. (Aastra 142d or DECT GAP
handsets do not support this feature.)
1. Click the Send Message command button above the table. If you want to send
a message to one of the listed recipients, select the appropriate table entry
before. To select multiple recipients, press and hold the [CTRL] key and then
click the entries.
The Send Message dialogue opens, displaying the last distress event.
2. Handset: Select the recipient’s call number from the list. This field is not
displayed if you send a message to multiple recipients.
3. Priority: Select the message type:
– Normal: The message is sent as a normal text message.
– High: The message is sent as a high priority message.
– Emergency: The message is sent as an alarm message.
– Locating Alert: The message will be signalled acoustically on the recipient’s
handset with an increasing alarm tone. This message type can be used to
indicate the handset location for third parties (e.g. if the recipient made a
ManDown call and should now be searched by security staff).
