The System Communication screen
This screen provides access to miscellaneous
security settings that pertain to a specific
panel.
Tip:
Beginning with MONITOR AFx Director V4.0, you
can use
Wizards
to set up a new system, and initiate
communications with panels. (Look in the
Tools
menu).
Viewing or Changing these Settings
(Multi-
Account
Systems: Click
[Account Folders]
in
the 'tree', and locate and double-click the desired
account.)
Select
System Communication
from the
MyTools bar,
or
click your site/account button
in the tree, open "Configuration" (
+
), and
"System" (
+
), and select
Communication
.
(Under the specific panel group and panel--if listed in
the 'tree'.)
Panel Groups and Panels: The 'tree' can be set to
show configuration topics in a single list (logical tree
view), or on a panel-by-panel basis (best for multi-panel
systems). For details, refer to "Other Desktop
Choices".
Use the
Grid
/
Form
toolbar-button to select
your preferred screen format
(Forms view is
recommended here).
Then, refer to the selection-descriptions for this
screen while viewing or changing your settings
as desired.
Setting a Panel to Automatically Dial-In
and Transmit Messages to MONITOR
AFx Director
Panels with their own dedicated external
modem (or IP interface--if
≥
v3.3 Director) can
be set to automatically dial-in and transmit
messages to the MONITOR AFx Director
system.
(In other configurations, the messages are transmitted
when a connection is made with the specific
panel/account—either manually by an operator, or
through a scheduled/repeating communications session
that was set up previously.)
First, check that the "Panel Groups" for each
applicable panel contain no other panels (one
panel per 'Panel Group').
For details, refer to "Panel Groups and Connection
Settings".
-------------------------
Then, access "Configuration System Com-
munication" for the specific panel as described
previously.
Now, refer to the descriptions for first tab while
setting:
•
The "Connection Type" to support two-way
communications, and;
•
The "Reporting Mode" as desired.
IP Connectivity (
≥
v3.3
): Setting up an IP connection
is documented separately. For details, refer to the
installation guide provided with the IP interface (may
also be in PDF format on your Director CD).
