Installation guide

Add Control Panels

1. Add the control panels into the database by right clicking on a Site and selecting “Add Node”.

2. Open the new controller and make sure the Domain and Net numbers match the port the

control panel is assigned to.

3. Name the Controller; we suggest using the building name followed by the Net, Node address.

Pederson 2-1 etc. Hit Apply.

4. Take the virtual ag off, Hit apply. The panel name will show up in the Alarm que as Off-Line as

the Server is now trying to communicate with the controller.

Turn Driver On-Line

1. After adding the Controllers to the database and communication wires are installed, you’ll have to open the

DriverConfguration Screen to turn the port on-line.

2. Right click on the double green set of boxes in the system tray. Select Open. This screen displays all the drivers

installed for the system.

3. Right click on the double blue squares for the port in question and select On-Line.

4. If communications are established to the server the top icon will be green. The lower icon shows the status for

connecting to the port. If it turns green, you are talking to the port. If it turns yellow, the system is timing out, it found

the port but cannot nd the Echelon adapter. If it turns red the system cannot connect to the port.

Set the Address of the Controller

1. By default a control panel is shipped at address (1.120). When you add a new controller to the database the

controllers start at Net/Node address 1.1. and move up from there. To set a panels address the MASC software

needs the unique neural ID of the panel you are trying to set.

a. Open the RTU screen of the panel you wish to set and Hit the service Pin.

b. The system will display a popup window saying, “A new neural ID has been received, do you wish to use it”.

Select Yes.

c. Hit apply to save the changes.

d. Hit Load Device Address.

e. Use the “Set Date and Time” to test communications. If all worked properly you should not see a panel Off-

Line alarm in the Alarm Que.
