The default Annunciator behavior is to silence the horn wherever any key is
pressed. Just helps to stop the noise. You can change this by making
modification to a config file on the 50 or 70 Series box. The file to look
for is found in the directory /usr/fox/wp/data and the settings are in the
wp51_glbls file (not sure if I spelled that correct though.
However, this file is a system file and will possibly be overwritten by a
newer version of I/A series software.
The better place would then be to create/modify the file init.user or if that
does not exist init.user.rel in the same directory. Make sure to rename the
file to init.user if you want the system to use it.
There is a catch though, I can't give you directions from home which parameter
to change. I think if you search for a term like annunciator you will be sent
in the right direction. The file itself is well documented.
BTW. edits to either wp51_glbls or init.user require a reboot ;-(
Hope this has helped a bit,
