Sound Alerts

To change the preferences for the Sound Alerts, select the menu:

• File, Preferences, or click on the Preferences button in the File toolbar (a red screwdriver)
• Then choose the Sound tab

The following values can be set:

• Enable Sound Alert: NetworkView will produce a sound for each UP or DOWN alert event.
• Beep: Two different beeps, low+high for UP events, and high+low for DOWn events.
• Little Music: Two different little beep sequences
• Play a .wav file: choose the sound you like for Up and DOWN events. You can test the .wav files by pressing the ? button next to the file name.
• Play continuously: this will play alert sounds at the interval specified in Preferences, Monitoring, then Alerts Threshold.
• A maximum a 3 sounds (=3 DOWN nodes) is played, either one time or continuously. For example, if your hear 3 sound alerts, it means that there are at least 3 nodes not responding. The 3 sounds are then repeated every x seconds (x = value in Alerts Threshold). If "Play continuously" is checked, you will hear the sound until the nodes are up again.
