Pick-List
(bottom of the form)
-Panel:
If the tree is
not
set to show
items on a panel-by-panel basis, you
will be able to select a panel here (for
systems that have more than one).
A "Panel Group" reference may also be
shown here,
or
you can set the 'tree' to list
configuration topics separately for each
panel. For more information, refer to "Other
Desktop Choices".
Configuration
(PC/Panel ID, Host Reporting)
Note:
Some of the following settings will be hidden
depending on the "PC Connection Type" selected for
the 'panel group' associated with this panel. For
details, refer to "Panels, Panel Groups, and Related
Settings".
-Serial Number
(also known as "Host Address")
:
Enter the serial number of the specific panel
(this allows the software to identify each
panel).
Tip:
The serial number is typically hand-written (5
digits) on a small sticker on the circuit board.
- Panel Code
(also known as Account UID)
:
This is a
reference number to identify the panel, site, or
account.
For a new panel, this can be any non-zero number,
and can be the same for all panels per site or per
account if desired. For settings to be
uploaded
from
an existing panel (i.e., a "Get from Panel" communica-
tions session), the panel itself must have a non-zero
"Panel Code" set up by an authorized service person,
and that number must also be entered here.
Note:
In the unlikely event of two panels having the
same serial number, the "Panel Code" numbers would
have to be unique.
Paging Feature:
The Panel Code number is used with
the numeric paging feature (see "Paging ", to
follow/below). For the paging feature to be used in a
multi-
panel
account, Panel Code numbers must be
unique,
or
sequential
/
offset output-numbers must be
set up.
To set up sequential output numbers for a multi-panel
account, refer to the "Display Offsets" values under
"System Panels and Displayed Item-Numbers".
-Third Party Password:
This is a security
‘key’ used by the software to block an
unauthorized connection to the panel (e.g.,
another PC running the MONITOR AFx
Director software).
For a new panel, this can be set as desired. To
upload data from an existing panel, this setting must
match the one stored at the panel.
-------------------------
- Interface IP Address
and
Interface IP Port
(IP
connections only)
:
These settings pertain to an IP
(LAN/WAN) connection to a panel. This feature
is supported beginning with
V3.30
of the
Director software.
IP connections are documented separately. More:
Refer to the installation guide provided with the IP
board (may also be in PDF format on your Director
CD).
-------------------------
-Director Phone Number
(modem connections
only)
:
The phone number to be used whenever
this panel initiates a connection with the
computer—to transmit alarms, and for a
'Forced Configuration Callback' (details to
follow);
-Number of Rings
(built-in Bell 103 modem)
:
The
number of rings before this panel answers the
phone when a connection attempt is initiated
from a remote PC.
An external modem is set up using physical switches
and/or terminal communications software. For details,
refer to the installation topic: "Windows Modem
Setup".
-Answering Machine Defeat
(built-in Bell 103
modem)
:
When calling to update the panel, if
the remote PC rings 1-2 times, hangs-up, and
then calls again, the panel will pick up
immediately on the 2
nd
call (within 1 minute);
