MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

About Communication Pools

"Communication pools" allow the MONITOR

AFx Director software to manage panel

communications. Each 'pool' can contain a

direct-cable-connection, or one or more

modems or IP connections.

IP Network Connections

(

≥

V3.30 Director software):

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).

Including more than one modem in a 'pool'

allows modems to be shared for multiple

panels / accounts. Communication pools also

allow selecting groups of modems on phone

lines with preferred rates to specific locations.

Tip:

The first communication pool for a new single-

account system is set up automatically. When adding

panels, the communications pools must be set up as

desired.

Note:

A communication pool

cannot

contain multiple

direct-cable-connections, or different types of

connections at the same time.

Adding a Modem or Direct-Cable-

Connection to the Selection List

(i.e., if your cable / modem / device is not in the list)

Ensure your modem(s) and/or direct-cable-

connections have been set up (i.e., are

available under MS Windows).

For details, refer to: "PC-to-Panel—Direct Connection",

"PC and Panels—Modem Connections" (as

applicable).

Then, ensure your software is aware of the

modem(s) and other connections (i.e., by

"Adding" them through the Communications

Software).

For details, refer to: "Serial Port / Modem Setup

(Communications Software)".
