Level One: Protege GX Installer Study Guide | August 2013 351
The Area Group defines which group of areas the service is responsible for monitoring.
By default, it is set to All Areas which means that signals generated by any area will be reported offsite
by the service. This is particularly useful when dealing with a multi tenanted building where ContactID
services can be set up for each tenant and Area Groups configured for each.
The CID Mapping sets a standard predefined monitoring template. The two templates (Standard or
Large) automatically map zone numbers to Protege GX inputs. We'll use Standard Mapping.
CID Mapping is covered in greater detail in the Level 2 qualification. Definitions of the two reporting maps are
available on the ICT website along with a report map generator which produces a report to provide to the
monitoring station.
Overriding CID Mapping
To override the settings of the report maps, individual Contact ID codes can be programmed at each input:
If left as 0, it will follow the report map.
To override the account code for each area, program the Client Code setting in the area:
If left as FFFF, it will follow the client code programmed in the service.
The Reporting ID is used to identify the area to the monitoring company when a report is generated.
