The Copy Protection Key LMSmodular is copy protected by an hardware key. The key must be connected to any parallel port (i.e. LPT1:, LPT2: or LPT3:) of the PC used as Operating Station before LMSmodular is launched and it cannot be removed as long as the LMSmodular is active. The key installation on the LMSmodular Operating Station is described in the Installation Manual (Doc. no. e1116).
1 How this manual is organized This manual is designed to be used after LMSmodular has been installed and is fully operative. It was written for operators of LMSmodular, and contains all of the information necessary for use. The manual is divided into 11 chapters. The chapter you are reading describes the manual structure. Chapter 2 describes the user interface, which includes the screen layout along with other basic information.
2 User interface LMSmodular is a Windows based software and it shares with the Windows environment a number of characteristics. However, LMSmodular was designed on purpose to monitor security and safety devices. This implies that it superimposes to the Windows environment some constraints designed to obtain a safe and reliable monitoring system. The Windows environment for instance lets you freely jump from an application to an other, close whichever application you no longer need and so on.
2.1 The screen layout When LMSmodular is loaded and you are logged in, the screen shown in figure below appears. The screen contains both information that LMSmodular shows to the user and buttons that let him/her send commands to LMSmodular. This button shows the code of the operator currently logged in. It lets you also access the operator-oriented actions: logout, switchover and password change There could be five lamps, with different colours, like this.
2.2 How to select an option As any other Windows application, LMSmodular uses thoroughly the mouse. The cursor is usually arrow-shaped. When you point with the mouse to an active object, two things happen: § the mouse shape changes and it becomes a black arrow. § the object gets a magenta border It is easy in that way to recognize buttons and active area. Moreover, in the area at the bottom left corner of the screen a short phrase describes the function of the active area you are pointing to.
Check boxes for multiple choice lists. Check boxes control individual choices that can be either turned on or off. When the choice is turned on, the check box shows a check sign inside it. When the choice is turned off, the check box is blank. The user can toggle the state of a check box by clicking on the box or the label with the mouse or by pressing the select key (SPACEBAR) when the check box has the focus. In a list of check boxes that exceeds three items, an option ALL has been inserted.
Sometimes these controls could appear dim: this means that they are not enabled. This happens usually when a related check box or menu option was previously selected, disabling the control. For instance, if you select in the following list any option box other than Range, the spin boxes for data input are dimmed. The choice of TODAY, for instance makes useless to specify a date and a time: the selection is already perfectly defined. 8 Siemens Building Technologies Cerberus Division E1108b.doc 11.
3 Entering and Leaving LMS After LMSmodular installation, your PC is devoted to monitoring the security system. The modifications to the PC environment made during the installation procedure let LMSmodular run immediately after the PC has been powered and booted. Windows also is automatically run in order to prepare the environment needed by LMSmodular.
Namely, the ”About...” dialog box shows: § address, phone and fax number of the LMSmodular supplier; § software version and release date; • § § § § license number, date and type. The type defines the maximum number of Gateway lines the Operating Station can monitor and the license type (MS00 or MS-01); the Operating Station number; the Operating Station Mode and Uptime, i.e. the time elapsed since the LMSmodular was launched (Uptime field).
Pressing Esc or choosing CANCEL with the mouse will terminate the log-in procedure without log in. Type your operator code , which cannot be longer than six characters. Press the Ret key ; the PASSWORD field will open and you can then type your password, which cannot be longer than twelve characters. Your password will not be echoed on the screen, but each character you key in will be substituted by an asterisk. This is to prevent the accidental discovery of your password.
Operator functions To access the OPERATOR FUNCTIONS, select the button with your operator code inscribed in it. A pop up menu will appear, with three icons: The three icons let you access the LOGOUT, SWITCHOVER and PASSWORD options. The button CLOSE closes the pop up menu. Switch-over When it is time for one operator to relieve another at the LMSmodular terminal, use the SWITCHOVER function. The SWITCHOVER lets you change operators without leaving LMSmodular.
The code of the current operator, which is displayed in the system area, will be updated to show the new operator's code. If at any point during switchover either the operator types an invalid code or password, or makes errors in typing, the message "OPERATOR IDENTIFICATION ERROR" will appear. Use the Ret key or the OK button to remove the error message, then try again. After three errors, the message "OPERATOR SWITCH OVER FAILED" appears.
Change password To change the password, the operator currently logged in must select the option PASSWORD from the operator's functions pop up menu. He/she has to enter the password currently active and then he/she must key in the new password twice, to be sure there are no typing mistakes. 14 Siemens Building Technologies Cerberus Division E1108b.doc 11.
Restart with multistation A multistation configuration is shown in the figure below. It includes usually one or more gateways (in a multiple gateway configuration), one or more subsystems and two or more operating stations. The operating stations must be properly configured (see LMSmodular Configuration Guide, par. 4.3.3). The operating station that is connected to all the gateways and has the lowest network address acts as a master.
3.1.1 Master and slave privileges At one hour regular intervals, the master station sends the date an time to the gateway and to other stations using the proper command. The slave station cannot send date and time. The partially master station sends date and time to gateways and panels of which it is master. When they restart or after a communication fault, each one of the station issues a status request to the subsystems, according to a time schedule set in order to avoid line overloading. 3.1.
4 Buttons and Menus The button tools of LMSmodular lets you easily access the various functions available summarized in the figure below. changes date and hour (see Chapter 8) displays information about the system (see introduction to Chapter 3) treats an event (see Chapter 5) displays information about the current filters on the event list (see Par. 5.2) list of currently active events (see Par. 5.1) Shows the number of events belonging to this type currently present.
5 Treatment of Events LMSmodular is somehow connected to a number of security devices. These devices, whether dedicated to intrusion detection, fire detection, or any other sort, are constantly sending data to LMSmodular. If an abnormal situation of any type occurs in one of the devices, it is automatically registered by LMSmodular and announced to the operator. This is an event. If, for example, a cable is damaged, or someone tampers with one of the devices, this will cause an event.
cremented by one unit. If the window was displayed and it did not blink (i.e. all events of that type were acknowledged), it starts to blink: now there is a new event to acknowledge. LMSmodular may also record the event (including the time it began and what steps the operator took to treat the event) on one or more printers and in a historical data file, if the system manager chooses to do so. 5.

Theitemsshowninthelistcomefromthe configurationdatabaseofyourplant.
5.3 The treatment phase To treat an event you have to use the button on the left of the event description. If your system was configured to treat the events by priority, only one event has the button, marked F1. As soon as you acknowledge an event, the subsequent event according to the priority list becomes the event to be treated and gets the F1 button. No other button could be selected except F1 until all the events have been acknowledged.
This button takes you to the last page of the set. It corresponds to the END key on the keyboard You can go back to the previous page by selecting this button You can advance of one or by pressing the PageUp page by selecting this button key on the keyboard or by pressing the PageDown key on the keyboard This button takes you to the first page of the set. It corresponds to the HOME key on the keyboard This button lets you print the screen on a graphic printer, if available.
5.4 Sending commands (Intrusion) From its remote Operating Station the operator can interact with the various plant installed devices sending them commands. The commands available depend on the subsystem type he/she is interacting with and its status. Some commands that are usually valid could be in some instances unavailable, due to the subsystem status. To access the commands for a specific subsystem when you are in the treatment page, you must click with the mouse on a point displayed belonging to it.
5.5 Sending commands (Fire) The new fire control panels of the CC-11 series behave in a different way when you click on a point belonging to them.
5.6 Displaying information When you are in a treatment page you can also display information about each point shown on the page. To do that, simply point with the mouse to the target and press the mouse right button. A dialog box listing the point system, subsystem and description will be shown. 25 Siemens Building Technologies Cerberus Division E1108b.doc 11.
5.7 How to reset an event When the operator has finished treating an event, he/she can § go back to the event list. He/she chooses the rightmost button, LIST, and he/she is back to the list of events. The event has been acknowledged when the operator entered the event treatment procedure. This is shown by the LED of the corresponding button that is crossed. The bell no longer sounds (at least for this event - may be other events are active).
6 Subsystems Management The subsystem management option allows the operator to obtain information from and send commands to the subsystems connected to LMSmodular. To enter the Subsystem Management function, the TOOLS object and then from the pop up menu the icon MANAGEMENT. This feature is available only if the license is of MS-01 type. 6.1 Choosing a subsystem To select the subsystem on which you wish to operate, you are helped by the dialog box of the figure below.
using these selection boxes you identify the subsystem to be managed these buttons supply pages of information about the site, system and subsystem respectively. The pages can show points, commands and any other object that could be configured using LMS Configurator. 28 Siemens Building Technologies Cerberus Division E1108b.doc 11.
6.2 Managing a subsystem When you exit the dialog box for the subsystem selection using the OK button, you enter the management pages for the selected subsystem. The information and commands that appear on the video screen depend on the type of subsystem in use. Usually, after you have chosen a subsystem, the first screen that you will see shows the general status of the subsystem. takes you back to the subsystem selection screen these buttons give you access to other management views.
For each point there should be is a description and a field that shows its status. To the field background color applies the color code for the events. For instance, if the point is in the "Severe alarm" status, its background is red. On the right of each point there should be two columns, marked Com (short for COMMANDS) and Det (short for DETAILS). The columns position could be empty (neither commands or details available for that point) or you could have a button.
7 Historical Data Management The Historical data management procedure lets you retrieve the events' history from the PC archives. The data retrieval is performed using a certain number of access keys and this procedure lets you define which you wish to use. Click on the TOOLS object, and from the pop up menu select the HISTORICS icon. This feature is available only if the license is of MS-01 type. 7.
Operator The operator choice lets you search the records on the basis of the operator logged on when they were recorded. You can select All operators, a specific operator from a drop down list among those currently configured, or a specific operator. In this last case, you have to input the operator code - this choice is useful when you search an off-line archive that could contain operator no longer active. Source The source choice lets you set the site, system, or subsystem to search the records.
7.2 Search The search starts as soon as you exit the dialog box for search criteria input using the OK button. During the search, LMSmodular shows a dialog box that supplies information about the search progress. LMSmodular shows the number of records in the currently active historical file, the number of records found on the basis of the search criteria set up, and the percentage of examined records. You can stop the search pressing Escape.
Here are listed the records retrieved In the lower part of the screen are resumed the search criteria used. The first number is the order number of the first record displayed on the page.
All records however list in the leftmost section: § their category § date and time § the station they were recorded Eight record types have been identified, with information content that can vary: Record type field events recorded when an event arose in the field commands a command is issued by an operator system commands acknowledge and reset operator's functions login, logout, autologout, switchover, change password sequences start, end or error during execution change of environment subsystem
and two buttons for printing This button lets you print the page currently displayed on screen. 7.3 This button lets you print the whole set of records retrieved Historical file information The same dialog box that lets you set the queries contains a button that supplies you with information about the historical archives.
§ Last restore : the information that are displayed deal with the file name of the last restore (as read from the backup floppy), the date and time when the backup was performed, the date of the first and last record included in the restore and the number of records restored from floppy. If no restore has been yet executed, the dialog box contains the message "No restore executed".
7.4 Backup & Restore The same dialog box that lets you set the queries contains two buttons to perform the Backup and Restore of your historical archives. When the historical archives file is 80% full, a warning event is issued by LMSmodular. The event is displayed in the events list and it cannot be reset. The only way to reset the event is to perform the backup procedure. If you do not do that, a second event is issued when the archive is 100%.
7.4.2 Restore The restore procedure is started selecting the Restore button. You are prompted to insert the first disk of the backup set into the drive. As soon as LMSmodular reads the backup data from disk, it shows them to you in the Restore dialog box. Restore can be stopped at any time pressing Escape or when the LMSmodular stops and prompts you to insert an other disk you can choose the Cancel button. A confirmation will be requested and if you really want to stop the restore, choose the Yes button.
8 Set Date and Time To set the date and time, click on the digital clock in the upper right corner of the screen. A dialog box will appear, that lets you change the date and the system time using the spin boxes displayed on it. This function alters the system time, i.e. it writes the new date and time into the system clock. To click on the digital clock can lead you to a different window ( shown in the figure below) that just displays date and time but does not let you change them.

9 Other Environments From the TOOLS pop up menu you can access environments other that LMSmodular monitoring environment and namely § the LMSmodular configurator § the DOS operating system § other Windows applications These functions are available only to operators with the highest access level i. e. operators with access level equal 9. 9.1 Exit to DOS It is sometimes necessary to stop LMSmodular temporarily and return to DOS for maintenance purposes. Select the icon marked DOS in the pop up menu.
9.3 Access other Windows programs You can access only to the Windows applications that the System Manager configured and that are compatible with your access level. Using the Win Applications icon, you can display a dialog box that list all the Windows applications configured. From the selection box you can pick up the application you wish to run, one at any time.
10 The Graphic Station 10.1 What is the Graphic Station ? What is the Graphic Station The Graphic Station is an output device designed to work in conjunction with LMSmodular, the centralized monitoring system by Cerberus. In a LMSmodular installation there are two types of workstation: § the Operating Station (LMS-OS). It displays information about the system and let the user interact with it. The operator can treat the events or send commands to the installed devices, for instance.
10.2 The Graphic Station behavior The Graphic Station (LMS-GS) behavior is strictly linked to the LMSmodular operating station (LMS-OS) status. 10.2.1 No operator is logged in When there is no operator active on the LMSmodular Operating Station, the Graphic Station shows an introductory map. This page is the page configured as number 998 and it is displayed by default. If the map does not exist, the Graphic Station screen is empty.
10.2.3 The operator manages a subsystem on LMS-OS The Graphic Station displays the map configured for the subsystem. If the subsystem’s map does not exist, the default map (i.e. the page configured with the number 999) is shown. If this page was not configured, the Graphic Station screen is empty. 10.2.
