To access the Alarm Center dialog, open the “Groups” menu in the Configuration directory tree and then click on the “Alarm Groups” submenu.

### Creating a new alarm group

If no alarm groups have been set up for the system yet, the Alarm Center dialog consists only of the Create Group [5433] section. The number in brackets shows the relevant command. If you need more information about a setting or a field, click on the command link.

- Select a group number. Click on the arrow to open the drop-down list box or enter the desired number in the Group no field.

Note

If you do not select a group number, the system will automatically assign the next available group number.

- Enter the directory number of the alarm group in the Directory Number field.
- Click on the Create button or press the Enter key on your keyboard.

Note

If the entered number causes a conflict with an existing directory number, an error message will appear. Read the error message carefully to solve the problem.

- If the new alarm group has been created successfully, the dialog refreshes. Now there is also an Edit/Change Groups section for changing the settings of an alarm group.
