AREDN |trade| Alert Messages
----------------------------
The AREDN |trade| development team has the ability to post messages which Internet-connected nodes will automatically retrieve once every 12 hours by default. There are two types of messages: broadcast messages intended for all nodes, and directed messages which are only retrieved by individual nodes. Messages are displayed in a yellow banner on a node's webpages above the node name. Be aware that there is no guarantee of privacy for these messages, since anyone can view the message repository online.

Mesh nodes without Internet access also have the ability to display *Local Alerts*. The process for setting up a local message repository is described in the **Configuration Deep Dive** section. If a node has Internet access as well as local messages, then both types of messages will be displayed in the AREDN |trade| alerts banner as shown in the example above.

On the left of the Realtime Graph there is an **SNR Sound** control. Clicking the *On* button will cause your computer to emit a tone that corresponds to the relative SNR level, with higher pitch tones indicating better SNR. This feature was added in order to provide an audio queue to operators in the process of aligning directional antennas. When your antenna reaches a position at which the highest pitch tone is heard you can lock it down without having to look at the signal graph display, knowing that you are receiving the best signal available. You can also adjust the tone pitch and volume with the sliders on the sound control.
