Note: A SPC2120 and DACR cannot operate on the same PC.
You must configure the IMS to communicate with the DACR. To start, you
need add the DACR port. To do so, you:
1. Select the hardware configuration item from the Configuration Menu.
2. Hit the Add Button.
3. Select DACR Port.
4. In the DACR Port dialog box, select the COM port that is connected to
the DACR.
5. Select OK before saving and exiting the Hardware Configuration
Screen.
Next, you need to add accounts and points. To do so, you:
1. Select Point Configuration from the Configuration Menu.
2. Scroll to an empty point in the user area.
3. Press the Add Button.
4. Press the DACR Points Button.
You are then prompted with three choices: Add Event Account, Manual Point
Entry, and Import CID Points. Depending on what communication format is
being used by the DACT for the panel and on what type of information you
want annunciated at the IMS, select the appropriate button. The reporting
formats supported by the IMS are 3/1, 4/2, BFSK, SIA, and Contact ID.
You need to add an event account if the panel for the account that you are
configuring is a format other than CID, or the format is CID but you don't care
to annunciate events at the per point level. In this configuration, the IMS will
indicate a FIRE, PRI2, Supervisory, or trouble condition at the panel but will
not indicate the specific device that initiated the alarm condition.
To add an event account, do the following:
1. Enter the Account number being used by the dialing panel.
2. Enter a label indicating the location of the panel.
If you want to enter a few points manually and the dialing panel is Contact ID,
you must do the following:
1. Enter the Account number being used by the dialing panel.
2. Enter a label indicating the location of the panel. (This step is only
necessary the first time that you enter a point for this account.
Subsequently, the label will be automatically filled once the account
number is entered).
3. Enter the CID Group for the point that you are configuring.
4. Enter the CID Point number for the point that you are configuring.
5. Select the device type for how you want to annunciate this device.
6. Select the point type for how you want to annunciate this point.
7. Enter a label to identify the location of the configured point.
