Section 3 Enabling FIRSTVISION to Monitor Your
Building
3.1 Process Overview
The procedures documented in the section should be performed after your building’s life safety
monitoring system has been customized to F
IRSTVISION using the ONYX® FIRSTVISION™
Configuration Tool (refer to ONYX® F
IRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool Programming Manual
for information).
Process Steps to Enable FIRSTVISION
Step 1. "Make Connections to FIRSTVISION".
Step 2. "Turn on Power to F
IRSTVISION".
Step 3. "Establish Communication Between Your LAN and F
IRSTVISION".
Step 4. "Establish Gateway Communication".
Step 5. "Copy Your Exported Building Design to F
IRSTVISION".
Step 6. "Test Your Building Design on F
IRSTVISION".
3.2 Make Connections to FIRSTVISION
All of the procedures in this section require you to operate FIRSTVISION like a personal computer.
Because of that operation usage scenario, you MUST connect an external keyboard and a mouse to
F
IRSTVISION.
3.2.1 What To Connect and How To Make the Connections
Step 1. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the either of these connectors.
• USB ports on the front of F
IRSTVISION LCD (recommended). A keyboard with a USB
port (for the mouse) is ideal for connecting to F
IRSTVISION (Figure 3.1).
• PS/2 connectors located on the bottom of the LCD (Figure 3.2).
.
