When an alert is triggered

Which actions trigger a staff alert depends on the configuration in the EPOS Backend. When an alert is triggered, the red light blinks and a sound plays to let the customer know that staff will assist shortly. The red light turns off after staff scan their staff barcode, which opens staff assistance mode.
