Database Manager
Database Manager allows you to backup and restore ALN device databases.
Database Manager allows you to backup a programmable FLN device database, and
perform FLN custom application management. FLN application management can
include updating an FLN application description in supervising panels and restoring an
FLN application database to one or more FLN devices.
NOTE:
Programmable BACnet MS/TP FLN devices residing on a panel’s local MS/TP FLN
ports are accessible through this editor. Routed MS/TP FLN and BACnet IP FLN
devices are not accessible.
NOTE:
An ALN device database backup file has a .db or .zdb extension. A database backup
file representing a UEC/PANEL FLN application has a .db extension. Database
backup files representing a PTEC application have a .obj and a .pgm extension.
If these file extensions do not display while doing a backup of these devices, you
should setup your system’s view of files to “show hidden files, folders, and drives.”
Overview of ALN Database Management
ALN devices can be configured and their databases created with FPWeb UI.
An ALN device database can be backed up and restored using Database Manager in
the FPWeb UI.
NOTE: To guarantee proper operation of the ALN, every ALN panel database must
be unique. Do not restore the same database to multiple panels on the same ALN.
