Before you add an Alarm Summary object to a picture, verify that the Alarm Summary Service is enabled in the SCU. If you want to receive alarms from the network, also verify that:
- The Alarm Network Service is enabled on the local computer and any remote nodes from which you want to receive alarms.
- Your computer has established sessions with your remote nodes.
Once you complete these tasks, you can add an Alarm Summary object to a picture by selecting the Alarm Summary button from Shapes toolbar (Classic view) or by selecting Alarm Summary from the Objects/Links list, in the Objects/Links group, on the Insert tab (Ribbon view). If the Toolbox is enabled, click the button on the Toolbox.
