- Area (bottom of form): This is where
you select an area to view its status or
control items. This shows a reference
number assigned by the system, plus
the name/description of the area as
defined under 'Configuration'.
- [Off], [Stay], and [On]: These
buttons indicate the present arming-
level of the area, and allow
arming/disarming an area as desired
(if you have this authority). Note: If
an item is in 'alarm' or 'trouble', this
should be corrected before you
proceed. (The system will typically prompt you
to deal with the situation).
- Fire / Alarm: Whether or not any fire-type inputs
and/or other inputs in the area have been
'tripped'.
[Silence]: This allows silencing alarms that are in
effect as desired—if you have this authority.
- Ready, etc.: Various misc. status aspects for
the specific area (if the area is ready to be
armed, or if doors are open, etc.).
- Schedule-Related Items

Resume) the schedule (if you have the
