Welcome Welcome Welcome to the MPU955A* Admin Console Installation and Configuration manual. This guide is organized in a logical step-by-step sequence that will allow for both an easy and accurate configuration. First, an explanation of what MPU955A Admin Console is and how it works in a Network Security System (NSS) is presented in general terms. Next, you will be guided through installing the software, creating a configuration database, and loading the database into the Network Security System’s CPU.
This page intentionally left blank.
Introduction Introduction MPU955A Admin Console enables an administrator and other users to closely control the operation of a Network Security System (NSS). Such a system can include as many as 1,024 cameras and 256 monitors. You will be guided through the process of installing MPU955A Admin Console to manage an NSS, creating the databases that dictate the operation of the NSS, and allowing an administrator to easily change the system’s configuration when necessary.
Introduction How It Works MPU955A Admin Console is a management tool that maintains tracking, reporting, and functional relationships between the various components in a network security system. Configuration Management It is possible for MPU955A Admin Console to maintain several separate configurations for a given system.
Installation Installation Part of installing MPU955A Admin Console means copying program files from a CDROM onto the hard drive of a dedicated PC. MPU955A Admin Console is a tool that allows an administrator to configure the NSS (Network Security System) with information compiled about components and users, and to use well-planned presets and sequences.
Installation Installing MPU955A Admin Console 1. Insert the MPU955A CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on your computer – an installation menu will appear 2. Select Admin Console and click the Next button – MPU955A Admin Console will begin installing automatically 3. Respond to the dialog boxes by following the directions given What Happens Next The next section will guide you through the phases involved with the setup and configuration of a MPU955A System, using the Admin Console.
Configuration Configuration MPU955A Admin Console configuration is a three-step process: 1. Mark copies of drawings of the facility under surveillance. 2. Fill in the appropriate worksheets provided at the end of this manual. (This will result in a survey of all the components in your system, and how they interact with one another.) 3. Enter the values collected on the worksheets into MPU955A Admin Console.
Configuration As with any system configuration, it is wise to keep initial and updated worksheets on file, just in case there is ever a need to re-enter the data, or troubleshoot the system. Instructions The title of each worksheet is the same as the title of the MPU955A Admin Console window it supports. For example, the “Operators” worksheet supports the “Operators” window.
Configuration Starting the Program To start MPU955A Admin Console: 1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, click on Programs, click on Panasonic, and then click MPU955A Admin Console Logging In Each time MPU955A Admin Console is run, this login screen will appear. 1. Enter the user login name (default = admin) and click the green check mark (or press ENTER on your computer’s keyboard) By default, there is no password defined. Both the user login name and password fields are case sensitive.
Configuration First Time Operation CPU Setup When MPU955A Admin Console is run the first time, the following window will appear after you enter the default login name. 1.
Configuration 2. Enter a Unit Number for the system unit Unit ID automatically begins with “1”, however any two-digit number may be entered. Several separate units may be configured with a single MPU955A Admin Console, however, Admin Console must be upgraded in order for those units to be linked together. The unit number must match the number in the CPU System File, which resides on the actual CPU, with the IP address that will be entered below.
Configuration Standard If any of the components in your system exceed the maximum capacity listed, you must choose the next highest system type. For example, if the number of each of your system’s components are less than the maximums listed for “Standard”, but you have 129 monitors, you would need to select “Enhanced” as your system type. Enhanced This is the next NSS CPU type available. Using the Enhanced CPU type will increase the capacity of the system.
Configuration High-Speed This is the largest CPU type available, providing the capacity for handling the largest number of components. 5. After making your selection, click the green check mark to save. 6. You can then enter the information for another unit, or click the red “X” to exit the Add mode 7. If an error has been made, click the Edit Record button and make your changes 8.
Configuration Viewing and Programming In each of the components’ permissions tabs that contain a section like the one shown to the left, modes can be viewed and programmed. Clicking the View option button allows you to view permissions for the mode chosen, and defaults to programming for the same mode. In the case of the graphic to the left, mode 1 is set for viewing, and thereby programming. The permissions grid reflects the contents of the mode whose view is selected with the View option button.
Configuration Main Window After entering the CPU number, IP address, CPU name, selecting your system’s size, and exiting, the following window will appear, which is the MPU955A Admin Console main window. This window will be the first one you see from now on whenever you enter MPU955A Admin Console. The main window is the heart of the MPU955A Admin Console configuration software. Each component, sequence, setup, and management task will be accessed from the menus on this window.
Configuration Database Management The active database for this system is the one residing within the Network Security System (NSS). MPU955A Admin Console is used to create that database initially, and from that point forward works with copies of it in order to establish and maintain useful variations. At Installation When MPU955A Admin Console is first installed, an administrator must create and name a new database. The database is stored on the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive.
Configuration Creating a Database When entering Database Manager for the first time, there will not be any .adm files listed, as none have yet been created. An administrator must create and name a new database for configuration. 1. Select Database Manager from the File menu 2. Click on the “New” button – the 2nd button in the Database Archive section 3. Type in a new name for the new database in this field 4. Click the green check mark Enter any name that fits in the space provided.
Configuration Selecting a Database Viewing and Reconfiguring Whenever you wish to view or edit settings from the components, sequences, or setup choices on the main menu, you must have the database, whose contents you wish to work with, selected. If you have just entered MPU955A Admin Console, and click on one of those options, you will automatically be prompted to select a database. The database you choose will open, and will immediately be followed by the option window you have chosen.
Configuration Copying a Database Making Similar or Alternative Databases An administrator can make copies of a database, as desired, and name them to reflect their purpose. This would normally be done to enable the system to respond to changing conditions and surveillance needs without having to completely recreate a database to accommodate these changes. 1. Highlight the name of the database you wish to copy in the Database Manager window 2.
Configuration Renaming a Database Renaming a database is useful when creating several configurations to fit the needs of specific occasions, and changing the name to ensure each file has been updated. For example, if date codes or initials are used in the name or description of a database, an administrator may want to revise the date code or user initials as necessary. 1. To rename a database, highlight a database name 2. Click the Rename button - the button with the blue sheet and cursor displayed 3.
Configuration Deleting a Database In order to reduce the number of configuration files listed in Database Manager, and thereby decrease the potential for confusion as to which file is loaded on the NSS CPU, outdated or unused configuration files can be deleted. If the files may be needed again in the future, it is recommended that you backup the files to an alternate location (see page 22) so they can be deleted from MPU955A Admin Console, and restored later if necessary. 1.
Configuration Backing up or Restoring a Database It may be necessary at times to save a copy of a particular database for backup, troubleshooting, or other purposes. MPU955A Admin Console allows an administrator to perform both backup and restore functions in order to maintain copies of the configuration files outside of the MPU955A Admin Console system. Backing up a Database 1.
Configuration 2. Choose the drive and folder you wish to backup to, just as you would in Windows Explorer 3. Click OK This procedure will only copy the highlighted configuration file to the specified location. It will not remove it from the Database Manager. Restoring a Database In addition to backing up a configuration file, it may also be necessary at times to restore a copy of a particular database from a backup, an e-mail, or from troubleshooting personnel.
Configuration 2. Choose the drive and folder that contains the desired .adm file, just as you would in Windows Explorer 3. Click OK Because you may have multiple files saved in the same location, the restore feature allows you to choose which file to restore. 4. Select the desired file to restore, and click the green check mark The left side of the Database Manager window represents the configuration files already stored within MPU955A Admin Console.
Configuration This procedure will copy the selected configuration file into MPU955A Admin Console from removable media or an alternate location, but will not remove it from its current location. Getting the Current Database In order to retrieve a copy of the configuration currently running on the system, and to bring it into MPU955A Admin Console, an administrator must retrieve it using the Database Transfer section’s “GET from CPU” option.
Configuration Loading a Database In order to copy a configured database from MPU955A Admin Console onto the NSS Main CPU, an administrator would need to use the Database Transfer section’s “PUT to CPU” option. Although not mandatory, first saving the current database residing on the CPU would allow for a manual comparison of any differences prior to loading the new database. MPU955A Admin Console itself cannot detect differences. (Unless this is a first time operation.
Configuration 3. Click the “PUT to CPU” button - the right button under the Database Transfer section A “Confirm PUT Transfer” window will appear. If you choose to continue, the new database will be loaded, overwriting the existing database, and it will remain on the CPU to run the NSS according to the configuration. 4.
Configuration CPU System File The system file (##A=sys.ini – where ## is the system unit ID number) resides on the main system CPU, and contains information that is critical for proper operation. On systems with a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to modify the system file on both of the NSS CPUs individually, in order to maintain proper operation. DO NOT modify this file unless instructed to do so by qualified technical support personnel.
Configuration 2. Click on the SYS tab on the right side of the window The following window will appear. 3. 4. Choose “01A” from the SYS Transfer dropdown menu (01 is the system unit ID in this example) Click the “GET from CPU” button – the left button under SYS Transfer MPU955A Admin Console will retrieve the system file from the selected CPU and display it in the window provided. At the same time, the system file is saved in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder as “01A=sys.
Configuration 5. Modify the system file as needed Modifications will not be saved on the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive until a “PUT to CPU” is performed, which replaces the system file in the CPU selected. See “Replacing the System File in the Main CPU” below, in order to send the updated file information to the system CPU. Replacing the System File in the Main CPU 1.
Configuration System Archive After the Main A and Main B CPU system files have been retrieved for the first time, it will be possible to view these files at a later date without actually performing a transfer. These files (“01A=sys.ini” and “01B=sys.ini”) will be stored in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive. Selecting In order to view the system file stored on the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive: 1.
Configuration Backing Up After the “01A” and “01B” CPU system files have been retrieved for the first time, it will be possible to save these files to a different location, such as to floppy diskette. These files (01A=sys.ini and 01B=sys.ini) are stored in the “\Program Files\Panasonic\GXLAC\SysIni” folder on the MPU955A Admin Console computer’s hard drive. Performing a backup from the SYS Archive section will save a copy of the specified system file to an alternate location of your choice. 1.
Configuration 5. Load the restored file into the Main A CPU if desired See “Replacing the System File in the Main CPU” section on page 30 6. Repeat for the “01B” system file, if needed Wizard When you want to make changes to the system file’s [System] section - which defines the values for Cameras, Monitors, and Keyboards - you can use the wizard function in the SYS Archive section of the CPU Configuration Window to do this automatically.
Configuration The Wizard button’s appearance will change to indicate if any changes to the system file are recommended. The gauge area on the left side of this icon indicates if the [System] components’ settings are: A) too low for the CPU size selected (yellow), B) matching the CPU size selected (yellow and green), or C) too high for the CPU size selected (yellow, green, and red).
Configuration Resetting the Main CPU After replacing the system file in the main CPU, each CPU needs to be rebooted so that the updated information is read and executed correctly (See Replacing the System File in the Main CPU on page 30). 1. Select CPU Units from the Domain menu, and select the Reset tab 2. Select the CPU you wish to reset from the drop-down box 3. Click the red Reset button to reset the selected CPU 4.
Configuration Shutting Down the Main CPU To properly shutdown the main CPU, please, follow the shutdown procedure. 1. Select CPU Units from the Domain menu, and select the Shutdown tab 2. Select the CPU you wish to shutdown from the drop-down box 3. Click the red Shutdown button to shutdown the selected CPU 4.
Configuration Redundant CPU Control When a System Unit includes both a Main CPU and a Backup CPU, it is called a Redundant System Unit. In this case, one of the CPUs will be running in the Active mode and will actually be controlling the system operation. The other CPU will be running in Standby mode and will be following all the system activity in order to take over system operation, in case the Active CPU fails or otherwise can no longer operate.
Configuration Get CPU Status Follow the steps below to determine the status of both Main and Backup CPUs. 1. Select CPU Units from the Domain menu, and select the Unit tab 2. Click the GET CPU Status button 3. The CPU Status “lights”, to the right of the Main and Backup CPU IPA boxes, will display the Status by color If valid status cannot be retrieved from either CPU, the administrator will be asked to try to correct the status.
Configuration Switching CPU Modes Once the current status of the Main and Backup CPUs is known, the administrator may change the Active CPU to Standby and the Standby CPU to active. This might be done to remove the Active CPU for maintenance, for instance. In this case, The Standby CPU will become Active in approximately 20 seconds, and the Active CPU will re-boot. Follow the procedure below to switch the CPU operation Modes. 1. Select the CPU Unit from the Domain menu, and select the Unit tab 2.

Input the required information for each of these components separately: alarms, cameras, system controllers, digital recorders, alarm I/O ports, monitors, and operators.
Configuration Alarms Alarms play an important role within an NSS. Alarms can automatically trigger up to ten actions, such as camera spots, tour sequences, or group sequences, in any combination. These actions allow the system to open or close a contact connected to an I/O port that will start a siren or possibly turn on a spotlight. They also can alert the operator by displaying cameras on a monitor during a triggered alarm.
Configuration Alarm Target An alarm target is an ID number that defines a group of one or more monitors. Alarm targets are assigned to alarms in order to link alarm actions to specific monitors. At least one alarm target must be created before you can create an alarm. When an alarm is triggered, an action will occur. For example, causing a camera spot (configured in the alarm definition) to display on an array of monitors assigned to a specific target.
Configuration 2. Click the Add Record button to add a target record 3. Double-click on each monitor ID that you wish to add to this target record As you double-click on a monitor ID number’s corresponding box, the representative box will turn green, indicating that it is now part of this record.

Configuration monitor. The Last port indicates which port will be triggered when the alarm actions are removed from the target monitor. 4. Click the green check mark to add the series of monitors, or click the red X to cancel The permission grid is shown by monitor ID only. A monitor can only be a member of one target. Therefore, when adding additional targets, monitors that are already assigned to a different target appear as yellow blocks.
Configuration Alarm Definition 1. To define an alarm record, select Alarms from the Components menu, 2. Then select Records. An Alarm Target must be created before an alarm can be defined. 3. Add, edit, or delete alarm records as needed using the three icons at the bottom of this window.
Configuration Alarms – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955A Admin Console as an alarm is added, in order to identify the alarm to the system. MPU955A Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding alarms, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Alarms – Definition Field Data ID Uniquely identifies the chosen source that will trigger the specified alarm by its ID number. Camera = port number of camera connected to the controller card. I/O Port = port number of the Input port that the external source is connected. RS232 = port number of the external source that will be connected through the RS232 port. Vid Loss (port) = port number of the input port that will be detecting video loss.
Configuration Alarm Actions The Actions tab allows an administrator to specify up to ten alarm actions for each alarm. 1. To add an action to the list, click anywhere on the next available empty row (or row 0 if this is the first entry), make your action selections, and then click: The green check mark to confirm the action, or the red “x” to cancel its entry. 2.
Configuration Alarms – Actions Field Data Type Choose the type of action to perform when the alarm is triggered. Click on the first blank box under this column, and select Cam Spot (camera spot), Tour Seq (tour sequence), Grp Seq (group sequence), or Text Only.

Configuration 1. Highlight the available target ID you wish to assign to the selected action for the selected alarm 2. Click the Assign Target icon to assign the selected target to the selected action for the selected alarm The Display Mode and Output Port sections are informational only. 3. Click EXIT when finished assigning targets to actions associated with alarms More than one alarm target can be assigned to each action. A target can be assigned to more than one action.
Configuration Alarm Permissions Modify or copy alarm permissions in the same manner described in the Camera Permissions section, beginning on page 67. The Controller permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller the ability to seize a specific alarm. The Modes section of this tab is described on page 13. The permission grid’s dimensions are based on the maximum capacity for the chosen CPU size, not on physically installed components already in the database.
Configuration The Modes tab on the Alarms window allows an administrator to determine what modes are active for an alarm. By default, all four modes are active, even if all four have not yet been defined. This tab will be grayed out and inaccessible unless Scheduled Modes have been selected. See page 13 for full details on modes.
Configuration Cameras Every camera in the system can be identified in several ways. Not only is there a physical identification to a particular installation (such as the cabling run and port connection), but there is also information that may change when a camera is removed or replaced at any given location. For each camera there is a record that contains its details. An operator calls a camera by its logical camera number.
Configuration 2. Add, delete, edit, or replicate camera records as necessary using the four icons at the bottom of this window. When deleting or modifying a camera, be sure to check the Other tab to find references to other sections that refer to the camera. Deleting a camera will automatically delete the referenced permissions, but will not change any other references, such as sequences or alarms.
Configuration CAMERAS – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955A Admin Console as a camera is added, in order to identify one camera to the system. 1 to 8,192. MPU955A Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding cameras, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Replicating a Camera Definition 1. Highlight a configured camera ID and click the “Replicate Record” button A confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to REPLICATE this Camera?” and explaining the replication rules: [1] Records will be generated according to ID.

On the next image, for example, tour sequence number 1 is configured to include camera ID 1.
Configuration Recorder The Recorder tab allows the administrator to attach cameras to recorders, once a digital recorder has been defined in Admin Console. Click the ID number of the recorder you wish to work with from the Available Recorders list, then select the camera ID from the Cameras list. Next, select the channel you wish to specify from the Vid CHs (video channels) list. Only channels that are available are listed in the Channels list.
Configuration System Controllers A system controller is a device used by an operator to control specific components within the NSS, such as: cameras, monitors, alarms, alarm outputs, etc. Controllers are generally identified to an operator using their ID number, but can be viewed in MPU955A Admin Console by ID, IPA, EA, or Area. Definition 1. Select the Controllers command from the Component menu 2. Add, edit, or delete controller records as necessary using the three icons at the bottom of this window.
Configuration SYSTEM CONTROLLERS – Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by MPU955A Admin Console as a system controller is added, in order to identify one controller to the system. MPU955A Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding controllers, the system will automatically assign the next available number.
Configuration SYSTEM CONTROLLERS – Definition Field Data IPA Unique Internet Protocol Address assigned by the system administrator. Dotted decimal, 15 characters. Example: 128.010.050.125. Each of the four groups of numbers with values between 0 and 255. Depending on the model number chosen, the following will apply: WV-CU350: No longer supported. WV-CU360: No longer supported. WV-CU650, WV-CU650:64: No longer supported. WV-CU850: A unique IPA is necessary within the scheme of the MCPU interface IPA.
Configuration The permission grid’s dimensions are based on the maximum capacity for the chosen CPU size, not on physically installed components already in the database. The Cam View permission tab allows an administrator to permit or deny a controller to view specific cameras. Copying Cam View permissions to other system controllers will also copy Cam Ctrl permissions to the specified controllers.
Configuration Digital Recorders The NSS can utilize the features of digital video recorders, once they are defined by the Admin Console. Cameras connected to the digital recorders are configured to the video input channel they are using. Definition Tab 1. Select the Digital Recorders command from the Component menu 2. Add, edit, or delete recorder records as necessary using the three icons at the bottom of the window.
Configuration DIGITAL RECORDERS - Definition Field Data ID Unique record ID assigned by Admin Console as a Digital Recorder is added, in order to identify one recorder to the system. 1 to 64. Admin Console automatically generates this number in consecutive order. Upon adding recorders, the system will automatically assign the next available number. Component ID and sequence ID numbers are used primarily in the permission tabs to identify one component or sequence from another in row and column style.
Configuration Channels Tab Each digital recorder provides a number of video channels (depending on the model of recorder). The Channels tab is used to specify which camera is connected to each of the recorder’s channels. 1. Click in the blank LCh field and enter the Logical channel number you want to specify for this camera 2. Click in the blank Cam field and double-click, in the panel that appears on the right, on the camera that you wish to specify for this video channel 3.
Configuration The Controller permission tab on the Digital Recorder window allows an administrator to specify which controllers can seize the selected recorder. It shows permissions from the recorder’s point of view. Permissions from the controller’s point of view can be found in the Recorder Tab of the Controllers window (described in the previous section). The last permission change made is the one that remains set. By default, all components are allowed to access all other components.
Configuration When copying a grid, a confirmation message will appear asking “Are you sure you want to COPY the Controller permission for this Digital Recorder?” and explaining the copying rules: [1] Permissions will be copied by Digital Recorder ID. [2] If permission already exists for a Digital Recorder that falls within the Target range, that original permission will be overwritten. 8.
Configuration Viewing and Programming Modes Clicking the View option button allows you to view permissions for the mode chosen, and defaults to programming for the same mode. In the case of the graphic to the left, mode 1 is set for viewing, and thereby programming. See Scheduled Modes in the Admin Console manual. The permissions grid reflects the contents of the mode whose view is selected with the View option button. In the image that follows, the permission grid is displaying the contents of mode 1.
Configuration More than one mode can be programmed at the same time by clicking on the Prog check boxes of the other mode numbers that you wish to program simultaneously. This will append, or add any permissions that are then changed on the permissions grid, but will not duplicate entire modes or overwrite existing permissions in the other modes.
Configuration 3. Highlight a row, a column, or click and hold the mouse button to highlight a group of recorders 4. Click the Invert Grid Selection button to change the state of the permission for the highlighted group, or 5.

Configuration Tools Tools consist of items that are related, but peripheral, to the configuration of the network security system. They include logs, area view, and account manager. Logs: System (Log Manager): Used to view system logs that capture data concerning operators and user actions that reside on the Main CPU(s). Admin Console (AC Log): Used to vView the MPU955A Admin Console log that captures each action performed within MPU955A Admin Console.
Configuration Log Manager Four types of system logs are stored on the Main CPU. They are the Switching, Operator, Alarm, and Video Loss logs. In the case of a redundant CPU, it may be necessary to view logs from each CPU, since these logs are not synchronized. The logs must be downloaded from each CPU in order to view their content. The logs, which are stored on each CPU separately, may be using the same filenames.
Configuration 2. From the drop-down box, select the log type you wish to view: Switching, Operator, Alarm, or Video Loss Information given in each log type is as follows.
Configuration VIDEO LOSS LOG DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of the week TIME: AM or PM (12 hour format) LCAM: Logical camera number that is connected to the video input port STATE: Video loss state: OK: above threshold and in sync LS: video signal below its threshold and in sync VL: video signal below its threshold and no sync HL: above threshold and no sync TYPE: Indicates where a camera connects: S: MXSW input C: MXCONT input SWITCHING LOG DATE: YYYY MMM DD format DAY: Day of the week TIME: HH:MM:SS A
Configuration The right side of the window will display all logs that pertain to the selected type that exist on the selected CPU. Remember, for a redundant CPU system, since these logs are not synchronized, it may be necessary to view and retrieve logs from each of the two CPUs. 5.
Configuration 7. Use the drop-down boxes in the filter section to customize the view If more than one filter is applied, an “AND” and “OR” option button appear to allow you to focus your search. Filters are case sensitive and “LIKE” filters allow use of wildcard characters such as "?" (which represents any single character) and * (which represents a string of any characters). 8. Click the Query button The system log report will filter the records according to the filter selections. 9.
Configuration AC Log The AC Log captures information for actions performed within MPU955A Admin Console. Only administrators with access levels 1 and 2 may view this log. An administrator may view the information presented, or use the filters provided to customize a report. 1. Select the Logs command from the Tools menu, and then select MPU955A Admin Console An administrator may view the report as shown and print it, or use the filter drop-down boxes to customize the report.
Configuration Adm_File: Configuration (.adm) file in which the specified action was performed. Category: Section in which the action was performed. (Alarms, alarm targets, cameras, camera positions, controllers, controller sequences, group presets, group sequences, I/O ports, GX devices, monitors, operators, operator classes, and tour sequences) Action: Specific task that was performed. (ADM configuration file: get, put, new, copy, rename, delete, backup, restore. Record: add/edit, delete.
Configuration Areas An area is a grouping of monitors defined by an administrator when monitors are added to the system. See Monitors – Definition on page 90. Selecting the Area View command from the Tools menu brings up the area viewer. This viewer is available to all users. No modifications to components, tour sequences, group presets, or group sequences can be made from the Areas window. 1.
Configuration 2. Highlight the desired area This is an informational window only. An administrator or operator may view all components associated within a single area. Since at least one monitor must be assigned in each defined area, if any areas exist without at least one monitor assigned, an error message will appear. Defining at least one monitor in that area will eliminate this error. See Monitors – Definition on page 90.
Configuration Account Manager The Account Manager categorizes MPU955A Admin Console users into four specific user levels. This section configures users (administrators) for MPU955A Admin Console, not to be confused with system operators (system controller operators). Initially only the default user account (admin) will be configured with no restrictions.
Configuration There are four user levels having varying restrictions as follows: Level 1: Access to all areas of the MPU955A Admin Console configuration, setup, and management. Level 2: Access for modification of all configuration, setup, and management areas except GX Device and Account Manager.
