Roster Tags
Roster tags are designed to work with the Alarm Dialer call-out system. Using a roster tag, you may configure contact information for up to 30 operators. When a roster tag has been enabled, the call-out system will contact the operators in order in the event that an alarm has been triggered and has gone unacknowledged for a user-defined period of time. The call-out system will continue to contact the operators on the active roster tag until the alarm has been acknowledged.
The Area field, selected during configuration, is especially important for Roster tags. The Area field is used by VTS to tie the Roster to those alarms that have this same area. If more than one Roster shares the same area, only one of them can be active at a time.
Note: Roster tags work with modem tags, and the Dialer Options and Speech Lexicon tools to form the VTS Alarm Dialer system. Complete instructions on full configuration of the VTS Alarm Dialer system can be found in Alarm Dialer System.
