4 Configuring MK8000
DMS8000 configuration process overview
The configuration checklist is a general guide to the larger configuration process. The
order in which you perform the tasks in the checklist may vary depending on your
personal preference. This is not an absolute guide, but rather lends context to the
tasks discussed in this manual.
Note: A similar configuration list is provided in the Network, Fire, and Intrusion
Connectivity configuration guides. While the two lists are similar, they are not identical,
as each product has specific characteristics that impact this process. The list in the
Connectivity configuration guides serves as an overview of DMS8000 product
configuration in general, while the list provided below is a list of the actual steps in the
MK8000 configuration process. If the two lists vary, defer to the list below.
Documents referred in the checklists are:
 Composer Technical Manual (A6V10062401)
 DMS8000 Network Connectivity Guide (A6V10359485)
 DMS8000 Fire Connectivity Guide (A6V10359481)
 DMS8000 Intrusion Connectivity Guide (A6V10359489)
