desired panel in the tree (under the specific
panel group).

If a System Panel is Replaced
If a defective or damaged panel is replaced, be
sure to identify the new panel "Serial
Number" to the software.
For details, refer to "Monitoring, Paging, & Remote Mgt.
Settings".
-------------------------
Then, issue a "Send to Panel" communications
session to transfer all settings to the new
panel.
For details, refer to "Panel Communications and
Updates".
- Location: A suitable name or location for the
specific system main panel;
- Display Offsets (Repeating vs. Unique Item-
Numbers): With the default setting of "1", the
areas, doors, etc. for each panel will be
numbered the same (e.g., 1
st
Panel, Area 1, 2,
3,… 2
nd
Panel, Area 1, 2, 3,… etc.). This allows
for accounts that span multiple buildings.
Setting the 'offsets' allows item-numbers to be
unique / sequential (e.g., Area 1, 2, 3, ...17, 18,
etc.)—which is useful for multiple panels in the
same building.
Elevators: Door and elevator numbering is shared (1 -
32). As such, the 'Door' offset applies to elevators as
well. Floors
: Floors are identified by name only. As
such, 'offsets' do not apply.
Setting Item-Numbers to Be Sequential
: For each
item (area, door, etc.), check the item-range
from the preceding panel, and then set the
'offset' for the panel to the lowest available*
number.
* To allow for Future Expansion: You can set the
'offsets' as if each panel had all
items defined (areas,
doors, etc.). Tip: Be sure to add "1", to obtain the
next available number. Refer to the system capacities
for the number of items supported per panel.
- Panel Display Offsets: This shows the 'Display
Offsets' for all panels pertaining to an account,
When You Select a Panel (under Configuration)
Quick Tip: "Logical tree View" must not be in effect.
