Watch house mode
A special mode of operation designed for watch houses. All
Forcefield nodes to be used in watch house mode must be fitted
with monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
A Forcefield node is designated as a night switch workstation
and other Forcefield nodes are designated as watch house
pods. Any Forcefield node not designated as either a pod or a
night switch workstation operates in standard mode.
Watch house mode enables the night switch workstation to
automatically take control of a pod’s members when the pod’s
operator logs off. Conversely, when an operator logs onto a
pod, the members are automatically transferred back to the pod.
Workstation
A computer providing access to the Forcefield user interface.
