Sorting and Searching Accounts
The Name, City, and Account tabs at the top of the Panel Information window sort
your accounts by account name, city where the account is located, or account number.
To locate an account quickly, enter the account name, account number, or city where the
account is located in the Search field.
Setting up New Alarm Accounts
To add a new account, click on the New button near the bottom left corner. The New
Panel window appears on your screen.
Programming On File : Allows you to select whether
System Link maintains programming information on file for
the account.
There are two basic situations where you want to uncheck
the Programming On File box. First, if you have a panel
with multiple account numbers, you may associate the
area—or child—account with the parent account on that
panel, where System Link maintains the panel's
programming information.
Second, you should uncheck the Programming On File box
if you want System Link to be able to monitor signals from a
panel for which you do not maintain programming
information. You need an Alarm Monitoring Module or
Command Center Module to monitor signals from accounts.
If you uncheck the Programming On File box, the New
Panel window changes to show the Main Receiver and
Main Account fields as shown to the right, in place of the
Model and Version fields.
If you are associating the account with a parent account,
you must fill in the Main Receiver and Main Account
fields. If you want to monitor signals from a panel for which
you do not maintain programming information, do not fill in
the Main Receiver and Main Account fields.
Model : When you click on the drop-down arrow in the
Model field, System Link displays a list of the panel models.
Select the appropriate panel model number. For XR500E or
XR2500F panels, select the XR500N panel and check the
appropriate panel type under Feature Set.
Version : In the Version field enter the panel firmware version.
Finding Panel Firmware Version Number
If you do not know the panel firmware version, access the User menu from a keypad
connected to the panel. You can find the panel firmware version listed in the System
Status section of the User Menu.
