Other Events - When Other is selected as the Event Type, an "internal" Signal - a User Defined Signal ID, and optionally a Physical Zone Code previously defined as a CSID Zone record - must be entered.
This Signal (and optional Zone) must have been previously defined as a Signal ID (and optionally a Physical Zone) in the CSID Zones Form.
So this becomes the Event record that is defined for a CSID Zone record having a User Defined Signal ID, and, optionally, a User Defined Physical Zone Code entered for the purpose of creating an alert for an Operator indicating that it is time to perform a specific task.

Execute a Procedure (Confirm that each Telephone Line is properly connected to the Receivers and has dial tone).

Temporary - If this special "task" reminder is a one time only situation, it would be entered as a Temporary Event.
