    (Xpoint messages). The panel sends an Xpoint message each time a point’s status changes to a non-normal state. Using these Map Descriptors will ensure that the FieldServer is constantly updated with the latest panel status information. The Map Descriptor’s are pa ssive so they can be used in a joint strategy with the clist function (Appendix A.3.1) to keep track of a point’s status.
