❑Background:

•There will be times when a remote Operator may need to immediately step away from their terminal (for an urgent Family issue, home invasion, an emergency bathroom break, an immediate termination, etc.)

•So, any signals assigned to this Operator must be placed back into the Pending Alarm Stack for other Operators to handle.

•Clicking the Lock Operator option on the MKMSCS Shortcuts tab (or pressing the key combination Shift+Ctrl+D ) will display a confirmation message that asks if the system should Lock out this Operator, set all of this Operator's signals as pending, log them out of the system, and close the MKMSCS application on that terminal.

 

Lock operator, set all operator's signals as pending and log out?

 

❑The Duress Lockout Form displays a Grid that contains a list of those "Locked Out" Operators.

•This Duress Lockout Grid is used to view, and as appropriate Unlock one or more of those "Locked Out" Operators.

a)From the Backstage Menu System Select Maintenance and Choose the Monitoring option, then select the Duress Lockout option, or
