Pushbuttons
The Panel Window has the following push buttons along the right side:
• Exit: Close the Panel Window and return to the System Window.
• Add Panel: Add another panel to the system. A dialog box is displayed. The default
options are to use the next available panel ID and to select an FX-2200panel. Change
these values as required. You are also asked if you want MPI to automatically set the Next
ID. If allowed, this panel has the next higher numbered panel as its Next ID and the panel
with the next lower number is set to have this panel as its Next ID. If the new panel is the
highest numbered panel, it uses the lowest numbered panel as its Next ID.
• Delete: Remove the current panel from the system. This also loses all input circuit
information for the panel. Any of the panel's outputs that are referenced become invalid
and are removed by the next verify.
• Input Circuits: Display the Circuits Window.
• Internal Circuits: Display the Internal Circuit Window.
• More Info: This displays a dialog box listing basic information about the panel including
the date the database was last downloaded into a panel, the number of times downloaded,
etc.
• Change Type: Displays a dialog box for changing the type of the current panel. This
allows for easier correction of mistakes in creating the initial database and for easier
updating of the database if a panel type is changed in the field. Only certain type changes
are allowed.
Note: This can have far reaching effects on a system. Ensure that changing the panel type
is required prior to doing so. Any information that is no longer valid with the new panel type
is lost.
• Change ID: Displays a dialog box for changing the ID of the current panel. MPI
automatically changes all references to use the new ID. This process could take a long
time for a large database. A gauge is displayed to show the progress of the change.
• Map: Displays and/or updates the Map Window. See section 2.8 Map Window of the
Mircom Programming Interface Database Editor.
• Verify List: Displays the Verify List. If there is no Verify List, a requester will appear asking
whether you wish to perform a verification. See section 2.6.5 of the Mircom Programming
Interface Database Editor for a full description of the Verify List and its uses.
Message
The Message is a text entry box. This is a 3 line by 20 character message that is associated with
the Panel. This message is displayed in Alarm Lists with signals that are generated by this panel.
It also is included in any print-outs generated by the Master Panel of the system. This message
should include enough information that identifies the panel and its location to fire or service
personnel.
Mode
The Mode list-box allows you to select the circuit type for the addressable (SLC) circuits. Choices
are 2 Class B (Style 4) Circuits or 2 Class A (Style 6) Circuits for the FX-2200.
Outputs
The Outputs area lists the function of the outputs of the panel. Use the Outputs Button to show the
Outputs Dialog, which allows for the programming of the Outputs and the relays.
Options
The Options button displays the Options Dialog. This allows for the programming of the various
panel options, such as Hot Keys, bell timers, etc.
