The status for individual ite ms at specific site

can be checked manually, as desired. As well,

the status toolbar allow s m onitoring a de sired

account for various items (sirens, fire alarms,

other alarms, and trouble conditions), and

provides a q uick way to v iew the details for

each item.

Items to be available under Control & Status depend on

the authorities associated with the user

ID and PIN

entered when logging into "Control & Status". If you

were not asked to enter a user ID and PIN, then one

has been set up for automatic entry in your operator

settings. For details, refer to the section on

"Operators".

Status monitoring (either manually, or through the

status toolbar), requires that the VEREX Director

system be connected with the specific panel(s), and the

specific devices must be communicating.

If an item is listed as 'Off-Line', this typically indicates

either a communications problem, or a set-up error

(such as an incorrect module/POD serial number).

If all items on a screen are grey in colour, this generally

means that you are either not connected with the

specific panel, or the applicable module is 'off-line' (not

communicating).

Items changed through 'Control & Status' (such as

unlocking a door, or locking-out cards, etc.) remain in

effect until changed by another person or by a

scheduled Configuration setting.

Connecting to the Associated Panel(s),

An Overview:

1) See if you're already connected by

checking the status bar at the bottom

of the monitoring window.

account is selected (click [Account Folders]

in the tree, and then double-click the specific

account).

2) If not connected, check to ensure the

communication software is running

on the specific PCs.
