# Step Documents
1 MK8000 OPC Server is sold. [Sales Material]
2 Customer chooses a 3rd party OPC Client and integration group.
3 MK8000 project is assigned to a project manager (PM).
Technical requirements defined during the sales process are given to the
technical team that the PM oversees.
4 PM defines the exact needs of the customer.
Before planning commissioning, the project manager meets with the
customer to understand any special needs he may have.
5 PM ensures that all “variables” necessary for installation and
commissioning are present.
“Variables” are items such as power supplies, network outlets,
installation areas, and connection wires to fire panels. These items
should have been specified in the contract, and provided by the 3rd party
suppliers or the customer. If there is a problem in this phase, the project
plan is revised.

Note: The order of steps 6, 7, and 8 may vary.
6 DU provides information to the 3rd party integration group about the
MK8000 data model and interfaces.
The 3rd party client integration will be working in parallel with the DU
through the installation, configuration and commissioning phases, while
they configure the client for integration with the MK8000. During this
phase, the DU may need to provide information and guidance to the
integration group with areas, such as the importance of certain “tags”.
