The Cable or Modem Link

Each panel connects through either a physical

cable, or via dial up access using standard

modems. Any workstation associated with

your MONITOR AFx Director system can be

used for panel communications. This requires:

•

A proper physical connection (cable or modems);

•

Settings as required for MS Windows and this

software;

•

The MONITOR AFx Director communications

component being installed (and running) on each

applicable PC.

Note:

With smaller sites (Single-panel / 300 users),

remote management is also supported through the

built-in dialler (Bell 103, 300 baud modem) on each

panel.

IP Connections:

With IP connections (

≥

v3.3

software), a

"Panel Group" can include

any

1-30 panels

within an account--whether they share the

same connection or not. In this case, panel

groups will typically be set up based on

geographic location, or network characteristics.

The MONITOR AFx Director software will be

able to communicate with any number of

panels within the group using only one port (IP

Device) on the specific PC.

Setting up an IP Connection: This 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).

Settings Required for Panel

Communications

Various items must be set correctly to allow

panel communications (including the panel

version). To set up an initial panel connection,

refer to "New Installation? Try the Wizard!", or

"Panel Connection Overview".

The Communications Software

All panel communications are handled through

the communications software that is included

with MONITOR AFx Director. This must be

run on the PC that is associated with each

specific panel (and/or modem).

For a single-PC installation, communications

can be set to start automatically when an

operator logs in.

For details, refer to "Setting Communications to

AutoStart when an Operator Logs In", to follow.

For a multi-PC (client-server) installation, the

communications software must be started

manually on each applicable PC (unless it has

been added to the Windows "Startup" folder).

Multi-PC (client-server) system: The server PC and

software must be running, and available on (logged

onto) the network. Director-Server PC: This is the PC

that includes "

...Director-Server.exe

", and typically

contains the database as well.

For related topics, refer to "Software Activation and

Licensing", and "Client/Server Start-up Issues".

Ensure the Communications Software is

Running on the Specific PC(s)

each

PC associated with the specific panel

connection(s):

•

Check the Windows task bar for an

LCD/Telephone symbol near the right-hand

end. (If present, the communications

software is already running);

•

If the LCD/telephone symbol is

not

present,

start the communications software:

From the

Start

menu, select

Programs

MONITOR AFx Director V4

, and

MONITOR AFx

Director-Communication

To ensure the software started: Re-check the task-bar

for the LCD/Telephone symbol on the right.

Note: If you are prompted for something you are not

familiar with, or if an error message appears, refer to

"Serial Port / Modem Setup (Communications

Software)".

To set the communications software to start-up and

shut-down automatically in a single-account system,

refer to "Setting Communications to AutoStart when an

Operator Logs In", to follow.

Manually Shutting Down the

Communications Software:

On the specific PC, right-click the

LCD/Telephone symbol near the right-hand

end of the task-bar, and select

Exit

. If asked

to confirm, select

Yes

Note:

This will

disable communications for panels associated

with this PC until the communications software

is restarted.

Attention:

Shutting down communications while a

panel update is in progress is NOT recommended, as

this can leave panel database(s) in an unknown state.
