So, are you the only Foxboro person that knew about this?  I know this has
come up on the list 2 or 3 times in the last couple of years, and the
answer was always, "sorry, can't do that."

What other gems are you hiding?  :)

Hi All,

CAR 8402 was submitted to report this problem. Originally this was provided
as a custom fix but was later merged into the standard workstation alarm
management software. This was done back in July 1996. Yes you have been
able
to do this for 7 1/2 years.

The remaining problem and the source of confusion is that although the
changes to support this were added to the code, the changes were never
documented in either wp51_glbls files or in init.user.rel. I will ensure
that the changes are made to these files going forward.

In the meantime here is what you need to do.

1. Edit init.user (copy from init.user.rel if init.user does not exist).
2. Add the following to the end of the file:

 ACK_HORN=N

By default if ACK_HORN is not defined or defined as "Y" horns will be
silence by pressing any annunciator key. Setting this to "N" will only
silence the horns when the horn silence button ("ACK") is pressed on the
annunciator keyboard.

One further note for those of you using FoxPanels. This only works with
annunciator keyboards and does not work with FoxPanels.

I hope this has cleared up the confusion.

Regards,
Kathy
