Server is product from Pelican Software Inc. that combines two utilities,
SoundOFF and Alarm Server. Server is free with the purchase of Notepad.
About SoundOFF -
Have you ever been in a meeting and had the Series 3a alarm start ringing.
It can be embarrassing. SoundOFF will stop that from happening again.
Here's how it does it: SoundOFF lets you build a database of events. An
event represents a future time and date when the sound should be turned
off.
SoundOFF will wake up the machine at the minute you want the sound
turned off. The sound will be turned off. After the event duration is
completed the machine wakes up and the sound is turned back on so you
won't miss any future alarms.
The next earliest event will then be queued. If the event that just
terminated is repeatable, the time/date of that event will be updated
before finding the next earliest event.
Alarm Server -
The Alarm Server seeks to provide a better method of handling alarms on the
Series 3a. The Pelican Software Alarm Server, (as opposed to the built in
alarm server), can snooze an alarm and let you go do something else. The
machine is fully usable while this alarm is snoozing, or even while the alarm
is ringing. The snooze time is selectable by you. This way if you're not
ready to handle an alarm, you can decide to snooze the alarm for 30 minutes,
(or whatever), and take care of it the next time it rings.
Getting Started
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
When you first start The Server you will be prompted to show Server
your standard sound settings. This is so that the program will know what
settings to return your sound to when it turns the sound back on. Choose
"Re-configure sound" to change these settings at a later date. The program
does this since when you start up SoundOFF your sound may be off, and
SndOFF would not know what your standard ON settings are.
Note: There are two views in the Server. There is the Alarm Server
view and the SoundOFF view. Press the diamond key to switch views.
Set the diamond position to SoundOFF...
Press <Enter> to set a New Event. Type in a name for the event. Next type
in the date, time and duration of the event. If you want the event to
repeat, set the repeat type. With repeats there are lots of events that
you only have to enter once.
For example if you get up every morning to go out and walk, and you don't
want an alarm going off while you're out walking, just set a SoundOFF
event in the time slot that you normally go out, and set it to repeat
Daily.
