Changing to a completely new configurations

figuration in comparison with the earlier download, the use of the Empty_DB.bat
command is recommended.

“Move” function in AlgoRex tool
The AlgoWork “move” function, which allows CC11 objects to be moved in the
tree structure, is not fully supported in MM8000 tools (ref. #5521). In fact, the
import procedure can treat this case but it operates by deleting and recreating the
object in the MM8000 structure. This results in the previous links of the moved ob-
ject being lost, e.g. a fire zone will disappear from its map or its reaction. You then
have to configure the object again in maps and reactions.
CC11 AlgoRex EP7
Please be aware that:
– The CC11 does not report any information about CT11.
– The following structures are imported in the logical and not in the physical tree:
- 1551 - Digital output;
- 1552 - Digital output supervised;
- 1560 - Internal horn;
- 1561, 1564, 1565 - External horn;
- 1562 attribute = RTFIRE – “Alarm” remote transmission channel;
- 1562 attribute = RTFAULT – “Fault” remote transmission channel;
- 1562 attribute = RTOTHER – “Other” remote transmission channel.
5.3 Functionality
 Composer open during runtime
- If Composer is left open when MM8000 runtime is active, it may cause prob-
lems to the log-out or switchover operations, which require a Windows logout.
We recommend you close Composer immediately after having used it
for configuration.
 Automatic mode
- Automatic alarm treatment is supported only for fast treatment (not for as-
sisted mode).
 FEP stations require server when starting up
- Distributed configurations including FEP stations: when you start up a FEP
station, you have to ensure beforehand that the MM8000 server is already up
and running.
 Fault conditions for multi-drop CF9000 units
- The communication fault for CF9000 units in multi-drop configuration may
not always be reported correctly by MM8000. In fact, disconnecting the first
unit on the bus results in a communication fault being announced on all the
units on the line.
 Cannot abort history restore
- Once in progress, the history restore procedure cannot be aborted. Trying to
abort may result in the history browser hanging up when a new restore is exe-
cuted at later time.
 Low virtual memory events
