You will be brought to the Detection System Subscription page. A large list of check boxes and serial numbers will be displayed. Your generic staff account should have the box(es) checked for the gate(s) with that/those serial(s) at that branch. Make sure only the boxes for the gates for that location are checked.
If everything is correct, click on the Download Desktop Alert Application link. You will be asked to install the application and may be prompted to Install Microsoft Silverlight. Click OK for all the boxes. The application should download and install within a few moments.
The application should start up automatically after a correct install.
Using Item Alerts
This is the main screen of the Item Alerts Application. It is a regular window that can be minimized and closed like other programs.
When an alarm is generated an alert will appear within a few seconds. The alert will appear as a red and white box in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. The alerts will still occur if the window is minimized so it is not important to have the window up at all times.
If the application is closed out it can be reopened by double clicking the 3M Alerts Icon 
In the Alerts Application there is only one functional button for Settings.
If the Settings button is clicked, a menu will open up giving the user the options of having the application: Start Automatically, Minimize on Startup, Enable Notification popups and Enable Notification Sound. All of these features can be enabled or disabled by checking or unchecking the boxes next to the description.
The User ID should be listed as (your_branch_name_staff). This is important because this is what links the application to a particular set of gates. If this is incorrect or blank, either no notices or the wrong notices will be received.
Receive Alerts At Level can be used to filter down the alerts that appear but should be left at the default (Any).
After any changes are made it is important to click the save button for the changes to take effect.
