Navigation: Virtual Operator: Defining the Virtual Operators

❑Any Technician that will be using the Virtual Operator module must be identified within the Security tab of the Employees Form.

•For users of the Monitoring module that have added the Virtual Operator module, your Technicians, and those of your Alarm Dealers - if you are providing Alarm Monitoring Services for others - may telephonically access their Subscribers to put them on, and take them off Test status, and also get a telephonic report of their Subscriber's most recently sent signals - all without talking to an Operator at your Central Station.

•For each of your Technicians, and particularly for your Alarm Dealers' Technicians who will access the Virtual Operator System, create an Employee record (for Alarm Dealers you only need to enter the basic - yellow highlighted - information), and then complete the Virtual Operator section on the Security tab of the Employees Form.
