USER INTERFACE CONFIGURATION FOR ALARM SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A configuration system for establishing configuration parameters for a comprehensive user interface in an alarm system, the configuration system comprising:
- a plurality of alarm system workstations, each alarm system workstation having a set of configuration parameters associated therewith;
a client workstation; and
a user interface broker operatively connected to each of the alarm system workstations and the client workstation, the user interface broker configured to aggregate data from the alarm system workstations and to present said aggregated data at the client workstation using the comprehensive user interface, the user interface broker further configured to enable designation of one of the alarm system workstations as a main workstation such that the set of configuration parameters of the designated main workstation are applied to the comprehensive user interface.

Abstract
System and method for establishing configuration parameters for a comprehensive user interface of an alarm system. An exemplary embodiment of a configuration system in accordance with the present disclosure includes a plurality of alarm system workstations, each alarm system workstation having a set of configuration parameters associated therewith, a client workstation, and a user interface broker operatively connected to each of the alarm system workstations and the client workstation, wherein the user interface broker is configured to aggregate data from the alarm system workstations and to present such aggregated data at the client workstation using the comprehensive user interface. The user interface broker is further configured to facilitate designation of one of the alarm system workstations as a main workstation, whereupon the configuration parameters of the designated main workstation are applied to the comprehensive user interface.
