By default, Location threshold alarming is always active and alarm notifications are always sent. Schedules are used to help manage network traffic when a Zone or Location does not require monitoring or when specific users are not required to receive alarm notifications. For example, you could set up a schedule for notifications to be sent to users on day shift, between 6 am and 4 pm, another schedule for users on night shift, 4 pm to 2 am, and a threshold alarm schedule for active alarming between 6 am to 2 am.
| You can temporarily turn off all threshold alarming and prevent notifications from being sent, perhaps during a system maintenance period. |
