Alarm and Activity Monitoring

Alarm and Activity Monitoring through

the MONITOR AFx Director System

When the MONITOR AFx Director system is

connected with specific panel(s), all events

and alarms are transmitted for display in the

monitoring window, allowing the tracking of

guard tours, and to allow for various types of

report generation.

Dial up panels with dedicated external modems (one

panel per modem) can be set to automatically dial-in to

the MONITOR AFx Director system to transmit alarms

or blocks of activity messages. In other configurations,

the alarms and events are transmitted when a

connection is made with the specific panel(s)—either

manually, or at scheduled times.

Real-time monitoring (immediate reporting) through

MONITOR AFx Director requires that the software

remain

connected with the specific panel(s).

Multi-Account Systems: The monitoring window is

activated for a specific account when you double-click

the account (under

[Account Folders]

in the tree).

For details on activating a panel connection, and the

"Stay Connected" setting, refer to "Panel

Communications and Updates".

To set a dial-up panel to automatically transfer alarms

or blocks of activity messages, refer to the configuration

topic: "Monitoring, Paging, & Remote Mgt. Settings".

Sites Monitored through a Central-

Monitoring Station

Sites can additionally be monitored through a

dedicated central-monitoring facility. In this

case, you can set whether only the 'alarms' or

all activity is to be transmitted—on an area-by-

area basis. As well, individual sensors (input

points) and monitored panel conditions

(equipment / pseudo-points) can be set as to

the area arming states for which each

condition will be reported to the central-station

(On, Stay, and/or Off).

Monitoring Station Connection: Central monitoring is

supported through:

•

The panel's built-in dialler ('Bell 103', 300 baud

modem), and/or;

•

An "IP" connection (LAN/WAN--if

≥

v3.3

panel &

software), or;

•

A high-security Mark 7 / DVACS connection

(Canada)

The System Monitoring Window

The monitoring window shows the alarms and

activity messages for the account selected in

the tree (double-click an account to select).

Tip:

Alarms typically appear with a red box next to

them (click the red box to open a "Notes" window).

The top of the monitoring window shows either

the newest messages, or all 'unresolved' (and

higher priority) events first. As well, the

window can be set to show all activity, or only

specific types of events (saved per operator).

For details, refer to "Limiting the Window to Show Only

Specific Messages", to follow/below).

Tip:

You can customize how alarms and events will be

displayed, and assign a sound to specific events if

desired. For details, refer to the configuration topic:

"Customizing How Events are Displayed"

The scroll-bar on the right allows viewing

events that have been pushed off the bottom

of the screen.

Note:

The 'heartbeat' icon in the bottom-right corner of

the screen will change to a red until you select

[Return to Real-Time Mode]

. (While scrolling, new

messages will not appear in the window.)

Messages are transmitted the MONITOR AFx

Director software:

•

When you connect with an associated panel

(such as when updating a panel with

changes, or to check the status of a device);

•

When a (dial-up) panel calls in to transmit

messages.
