FSA Server Initial Configuration
Zetron Customer
The parameters in this box have no affect on the operation of the Fire Station Alerting
system. However, if you are trying to get technical support from Zetron for the system you
will be asked to provide these two pieces of information. Filling it in here ensures that it
will be available when you need it.
Customer Name
This is the name of the organization to which the equipment was sold, or the end user for
which the equipment was installed.
Customer ID
Each sales order filled by Zetron has a unique number assigned to it for record keeping
purposes. It is standard practice to continue using this number to identify any subsequent
activity related to the equipment sold under this order. This ensures that the entire history
of a particular system can be brought together any time it becomes necessary to provide
support for that system.
Settings
This box holds a number of system-wide timers.
Resource Allocation Hold Timeout Period
Resources (stations or units) must be allocated to (selected by) a dispatcher before an
action (Alert, Send Text, etc.) can be performed.
This parameter is measured in seconds and defaults to a value of 300 (5 minutes). The
valid range for this parameter is 60 to 3600.
This timer defines the amount of time that a resource can remain allocated before the FSA
Server automatically deallocates the resource. If the resource is associated with a PA ON
or Alert with PA, the FSA Server will ensure the resources remain allocated until the PA
audio channel is released (manually or automatically when the Audio Idle Timeout Period
expires), so the deallocation will not occur until after the dispatcher finishes using the PA.
Tip This is a good place to include things like the System ID, Customer
ID, and other general site information that might be useful during
calls to technical support.
