Question Quick question re:emergency squawks

Got a question from my college coyrse that i cant seem to find a specific answer for.

What exactly happens on your displays when 7700,7600 or 7500 are dialled into a transponder?
Obviously you are alerted to this but how is it done. does the screen just display an emergency label next to the A/C or is it specific to the code dialled in?
Does it change colour (im guessing it would but would they become the same colour?)
Is there an audiable warning?
and finally how do these notifications vary between different manufacturers ATC equipment?

Cheers in advance
Andy
