MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

Beginning with V4.0 MONITOR AFx Director, you can

use the

Communications Wizard

to set up and initiate

communications with a panel. For more information,

refer to "New Installation? Try the Wizard!"

To manually set up a panel connection, refer to

Panel

Connection Overview

The initial topics in this section provide general

information and details on starting the communications

software module. To go directly to the details on

making ports and modems available to the

communications software, browse forward to the

heading entitled "Add Modems and Serial Cables to be

Used for Panel Communications".

Windows XP/2000/NT: Setting up ports and/or

modems through the communications software requires

administrator

authority under Windows XP/2000/NT.

(since data needs to be written to the "registry").

The Communications Software

To manage panel communications, the

MONITOR AFx Director program uses

separate communications software on each

PC to be connected to a panel or modem.

The modem(s) and direct-cable-connections

you'll be using to connect with system panel(s)

must be added here.

(For details, refer to "Add

Modems and Serial Cables to be Used for Panel

Communications", to follow/below.)

Before You Begin:

Each direct cable connection or

modem to be accessed by this software must have

been previously set up under MS Windows.

For details on setting up a panel connection, refer to:

•

"PC-to-Panel—Direct Connection",

;

•

"PC and Panels—Modem Connections"

Note:

To allow panel communications, the MONITOR

AFx Director 'activation' key must be present on the

Director PC (Director-

server

PC if applicable;

≥

V4:

USB connector,

≤

V3.3.2:

Parallel/printer port,

V3.3.3:

Either).

In a multi-PC system, the Director-server PC and

software must be running as well. For more

information, refer to "Client/Server Start-up Issues" (a

previous section).

Client/Server Operation

For a multi-PC installation, the communi-

cations software can be run on its own if

desired. This allows utilizing ports /

connections on other PCs—regardless of

whether or not they are running the MONITOR

AFx Director software.

In a client-server system, the panel connection set-up

must be done on each specific PC to be associated

with a modem and/or panel(s).

To provide access to the server/database, the PC

being used as the MONITOR AFx Director server must

be available on (i.e., logged onto) the network.

Windows XP/2000 / NT: The person logged into that

PC can be any authorized PC/domain user (as set up

by the NT/2000 administrator).

Licensing: Client-server operation is optional, and must

be selected though the license-manager software. For

details on upgrading your licensing, refer to "Software

Activation and Licensing".

All communications modules (running on client PCs)

that are to be allowed access to the database must be

identified to the server. This is done using a "Cyclic-ID"

code that can be found by right-clicking the

LCD/Telephone symbol on the right-hand end of the

taskbar, and selecting

About

. To register this value at

the Director-server PC, refer to "Client / Server Setup

(Allowable Client List)".

Start Up the Communications Software

each

PC associated with the panels and/or

modems for the desired accounts:

•

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

If prompted to set the "Server Location", refer

to the "Change Server" description (to follow),

while selecting or entering the server name or

'IP' address. (Click

when finished.)

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

for the LCD/Telephone symbol on the right.

Note: The "Port / Device Configuration" screen will

appear automatically the first time you start this

software on a specific PC.

Auto-Starting the Comms Software:

For a single-PC

installation, the panel communications software can be

started and stopped automatically. For details, refer to

"Setting Communications to AutoStart when an

Operator Logs In".

If "Cannot Connect to Server" appears: This may mean

that you mistyped the "Server Location", or that the

Director-server PC and/or software is not running.

Tip:

For more information, refer to "Client/Server Start-

up Issues".
