Configuring The System; Auto-Configuration Of The System - INIM SMARTLOOP 0051-CPR-0225 Manual

Programming manual

Configuring the system

Once the loop devices have be installed, it is necessary to configure them in accordance with instructions in
the installation manual appendix.
8.1

Auto-configuration of the system

The auto-configuration option (from the control panel menu) will allow the system auto-enroll the loops,
loop devices, repeaters SmartLetUSee/LCD, SmartLoop/INOUT expansion boards and the SmartLoop/PSTN
dialer. Once the control panel has enrolled a device (included the device in the configuration), it will be able
to supervise the device and signal any changes in its status (e.g. fault, etc.). Devices which are not
enrolled (included in the configuration) cannot be controlled/supervised by the control panel.
During the auto-configuration phase, the control panel enrolls the loop devices, repeaters, I/O expansion
board and the voice board and includes itself in the network. Once this phase has been completed, the
control panel will be able to "see" all the loop devices.
You (the installer) can choose the method you use for addressing the loop devices. You can either assign
addresses manually (refer to the appendix in the installation manual) and then enroll them on the control
panel, or instruct the control panel to assign the addresses to the loop devices automatically (this method
is for capable loop protocols).
The auto-configuration and auto-addressing functions greatly simplify the configuration process of complex
systems.
Auto-configuration procedure:
1. Set the parameters of each loop.
2. Assign the addresses manually to the devices of each loop (if necessary).
3. Auto-configure the loop,repeaters, I/O expansion boards, the dialer and the network.
4. Connect the computer and allow it to acquire the configuration data then proceed with the
programming phase.
8.1.1 Setting the loop parameters
Specify the type of loop wiring applied and protocol used (in accordance with the installed devices). Refer
to paragraph 8.3.1 - Viewing the loop configuration data.
8.1.2 Auto-configuration of the Loop
From panel: <key>, Programming, <code>, Configuration, Modify Configuration, AUTO Enroll, Loop,

The control panel operates in two different ways:
Auto-configuration
Auto-addressing
Choose the method which is most suited to the needs of the loop you are working on.
Configuring the system
The control panel learns the manually-assigned addresses of the installed
devices, however, it will ignore any devices with factory-set addresses. Physical
removal of devices from the loop results in their automatic deletion from the
configuration.
The control panel will verify the presence of new devices (address=255) and will
assign addresses automatically, starting from the first free address.
It will then enroll the new devices and refresh as per auto-configuration phase.
