Manual Activation
After selecting Manual Activate from the Activation Hotkeys window, the following screen is

Duotone encode.
Send Status
This list box displays the actual commands as they are sent out to the siren sites. It will also
show if the command was acknowledged by the RTU (individual sites only). Note:
Acknowledgment is proof that a remote RTU received the activation command, but not that the
siren is actually running and working correctly. The site must be polled to obtain a report of
actual site conditions.
