Panel Mode Information
- Panel Operating Mode: This sets the
basic operating parameters and/or default settings
for the panel (allowing one firmware build to be used
world-wide).
UK/ACPO
(DD243): With UK/ACPO operation, the
modem/dialler may not be available (i.e., older style
main board with built-in bell 103 modem).
Additional Regions
: These selections typically apply
suitable default settings for the specific region.
Changing the Operating Mode
: With Director v4.4,
the panel operating mode is set initially through the
new account wizard. At that time, some default
items/values are set up automatically. If you need to
change the panel operating mode, and wish to obtain
suitable default values, it is best to set up a new
account and delete the old one.
- Language Set: Future Use. This determines
the languages to be supported at LCD keypads.
(The languages will be listed on-screen.)
Feature Set Information
- Panel Version: Set this to match the actual
panel (firmware) revision level for panels
associated with this account (all panels for each
account must be at the same firmware revision
level).
Notes: With Guardall Director v4.4, panel firmware
versions to be supported within an account is set
through the new account wizard. If the panel version
is set incorrectly, you will be unable to communicate
with the panel(s). Panel firmware information can be
found on the system (general) configuration screen
after the 1
st
communication attempt.
Related Topics: "System Settings for each Panel"
(in a following section). "Panel Communications and
Updates" (in a previous section).
Note: Some features may be supported only after
upgrading to the latest firmware revision (typically to
match the software revision).
- Feature Set: (formerly "Memory Model") The
memory configuration to use with all panels
associated with this site/account. This
determines the system capacities for this
account (see "Columns...", to follow).
Suites, Elevators: Support for suite-security keypads
and/or elevator controllers requires a 'feature set'
selection of 5
or higher (via Enterprise software
licensing).
Bell 103 Connections
: For panels that will connect
through their built-in dialler (Bell 103 300 baud
modem), the feature-set must be 1-3 (single panel
system, up to 300 users). This also requires a USR
Sportster 56K modem at the PC (for compatibility with
the initialization string).
-(Columns of items): This shows the system
capacities associated with your selected
"Feature Set".
