To configure a serial message description:
1. Double click a serial message description to open the message definition dialog.
2. Check the fixture manufacturers documentation to determine the message number to
message correlation. Enter the number in the Number entry box.
3. If character displays (i.e., floor position indicators) should display the message condi-
tion abbreviation, enter the characters into the ASCII entry boxes from top to bottom as
they should appear from left to right. For example, to display FSA, enter F in the ASCII
III box, S in the ASCII II box, and A in the ASCII I box. Displays that display fewer than
three characters will display the right most letters of the condition. (For FSA, a two char-
acter display would show "SA"; a one character display "A".
4. Set the node qualifier. The node qualifier determines which fixtures will accept the mes-
sage. Fixtures have switches that allow them to be designated 00, 01, 10, or 11 (two
switches, on=1, off=0). Fixtures with a 00 address will display all messages. Refer to the
following table to see which fixtures will display the node qualified messages.

5. Click OK to set the message.
6. Message priority determines which message will be displayed first if more than one
message is active at a time. Messages higher in the table have higher priority. To change
a message priority, highlight the message name, then use the arrow buttons to move it
up or down in the table.
