To set up custom input point types, refer to
"Input Points—Custom Point Types".
The system also supports 'Equipment'
settings which can be thought of as 'pseudo'
or 'internal' input points. (For details, refer to
the preceding topic.)
Note: Input points associated with certain
types of modules (HSC, Smart, and RF /
wireless) require additional programming
locally, through a system keypad. For
details, refer to the commissioning or
hardware guide for your system.

Pick-Lists (Bottom of the Form)
-Panel Group & Panel references (optional; bottom
of the form): 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".
- Input Point (bottom of form): This is where you
select an input-point to view or edit. This area
shows a reference number assigned by the
system, and the name of the selected 'input',
once defined;
The input-point numbers are assigned by the system
when a module (POD) that supports input points is set
up. The number assigned to each input-point is based
on the module installation order, and the number of
input-points supported by (reserved for) each module.
Tip: The "Module" and "Range" settings show the
device associated with the input-point, and the range
of input-points for that device.
"Offset" values for each panel determine whether
multi-panel sites will have consecutive versus
repeating input-point-numbers. For details, refer to
the "Display Offsets" value under "System Panels and
Displayed Item-Numbers".
