-Panel Group & Panel references (optional):
This is where you select a specific panel-
group and panel in a multi-panel system
where the 'tree' is not
set to show items on
a panel-by-panel basis. For more
information on this feature, refer to "Other
Desktop Choices".

an internally monitored item to view or
edit. This area shows a reference
number assigned by the system, plus
a description of the item;
On This Form

area’s) arming levels for which a message of the

Areas and Related Settings
If you change any
value for an area, this will cause that
area to be reset to its default / scheduled state and
arming level (this allows configuration updates to be
managed properly). To check or re-set status aspects,
refer to the "Area" status/control topic.
Areas and Related Settings
Areas allow setting up monitoring and
operating characteristics for all sensors and/or
readers in a common location (associated with
a specific panel). Dividing a system into
"areas" also allows user-authorities to be set
up on an area-by-area basis.
Elevators and Floors: It is best to set up unique area(s)
for use with elevators and the associated access
hallways. This allows the authority to control elevators
and floors to be separated from other features, and also
helps to identify activity/alarm messages pertaining to
elevator readers. (The authority to control elevators
and floors pertains to the "Door Control" authority
selection for the specific area.)
Area scheduling can:
 Cause areas to arm and disarm
automatically at the desired times;
 Have user's reminded to arm the area,
and/or have an alarm transmitted to the
monitoring station if users fail to do so.
 Provide automatic Stay-to-Off, and
Off-to-Stay arming at scheduled times.
