Solved: Re: TMS "Fun and Games (Default: Not an error) : Manage Event Notification Error Levels

Just curious, in TMS (we have 14.6.2) there is an event listed called Fun and Games. Anyone know what triggers a Fun and Games event in TMS?

I've never seen that event listed - but I haven't seen TMS 14.x in quite some time either.

Just a guess, before Cisco acquired the MXP line used to have games hidden. There was no menu item for it, if I recall correctly you had to hit the address book ten times in a row and the menu would pop up. Perhaps this triggered this event?

Note this "feature" went away after Cisco took over, the next F code release did away with it.

Oh! I remember seeing that! We had a touch panel connected to an MXP that was acting up and sometimes it would appear to lock up and not respond but if you had touched it several times, it would spit out all the registered touches on buttons a moment later. I was tapping on either Address Book or OK trying to get it to respond and when it finally sent all the button commands to the codec, a game like Snake or something like that came on the screen. I was really surprised and couldn't figure out how to get it to come up again. Thanks for the reminder that Tandberg was 'cool'.
