Commonly Used Terms
Throughout this guide terms are used to describe functions that may be enabled/disabled in the software or
actions necessary for using the software. Following are commonly used terms and their definitions.
Login and Passwords
Some functions of your system may be password protected. This simply means that a staff member must
enter a login and password or use his or her proximity card or magnetic/barcode card before performing a
task. When you select a function that requires a password, the Login and Password dialog box appears.
To access a password protected function
1. Enter your login name in the Login box.
2. Enter your password in the Password box.
3. Press Enter or click OK.
4. If enabled, use your proximity card or magnetic/barcode card approved for use with the software.
Device Supervision
The Supervision feature applies to many devices such as the alarming band transmitters, Pendants, Fall
Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are
communicating properly and within range of the receivers. When the Supervised transmitter function is
enabled, a Check Transmitter alarm will be placed in the Event List if the system does not receive a signal
from the device within a specified time interval. The supervision interval is configured in the Configuration-
Units menu. The Supervision function defaults ON.
NOTE: The Login, Password and Swipe Card information is case sensitive. If a “User
not Authorized to perform this function” error message occurs, try turning off the Caps
Lock on your keyboard.
