SECTION 2
normal operation for the CIM is to poll the status of each controller and attempt to
discover new controllers. When the status of a controller indicates an alarm
condition, the CIM can be programmed to call the host and report that an alarm
condition exists.
When connected to a host computer running THS 2000, the CIM discontinues its
polling and allows the THS 2000 software to interrogate the controllers.
The CIM can be configured by selected the CIM Properties item in the Site menu.
This will bring up the Current Site Properties dialog box. This window is a tabbed
collection of dialogs that query and display different parameters from the CIM,
including the site information, version, port configuration and callout phone-
numbers.
When a value is modified, the Apply button will become click-able. Clicking the
Apply button will send the changes to the CIM; also, clicking the OK button will
send the changes to the CIM if you answer yes to the "save changes" question.
Hitting the Cancel button will abort any changes that have not yet been written.
After the new values are written to the CIM, they are read from the CIM and
displayed.
Some of the CIM's properties screens contain a Refresh button that will simply
re-read the data from the CIM.

Selecting the CIM Site tab in the Current Site Properties dialog box will produce a
display similar to that shown in next figure. The F2 key (or the toolbar button) can
