Resetting security partitions
A security partition is a group of devices intended to secure a
physical area. When you reset a partition, you instruct the
system to update the status of the devices, then update the event
messages in all annunciator message queues.
When you choose the reset command, the system checks all the
devices in the partition to determine their current state. Event
messages previously stored in message queues are deleted, and
new event messages are added as required by the current state of
the devices.
After you choose the reset command, the system displays a list
of partitions. Only disarmed partitions can be reset. You scroll
through this list and select the partition you wish to reset.
Note: Security commands are optional. Cabinet configuration
and card access settings determine whether security commands
appear on the panel menus. The Partition Reset command has no
effect on fire alarm devices.
To restore a security partition:
1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Security.
2. Choose Partition.
3. Choose Partition Reset.
4. Scroll through the Partition List and choose the partition you
want to reset.
5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.
