Summary:

Question: I am using the Alarm ON Action to sound a beep to tell the operator when a new alarm has occurred. With this solution the beep is only played on the alarm server. How do I make the sound on all the display nodes?

Solution:

To make the beep on the display nodes, use the Message functions to call a function on the display nodes. See the online help for detains on MsgRPC. Another solution would be to set a bit in a disk PLC, and make a Cicode task on all of the display nodes watch this bit to sound the beep.
