Control Station (CS)
The Control Station (CS) provides a centralized location for activating,
controlling and monitoring all system equipment. The CS also has
the ability to broadcast live public address, pre-recorded messages
and siren tones. Each CS consists of a PC with the ATI Systems’
Windows-based software and the REACT 4000 Communication Control
Unit (CCU). The software provides an extremely user-friendly, graphics-based
interface to display a detailed map of the county, facility, base
or campus with color-coded icons to visually indicate the location
and status of the sirens and remote units.
