NODE CONFIGURE - INPUTS
Function: The Inputs submenu allows you to clear input zone assignments from a node, manually re-assign zone
assignments to a new input or node, and to automatically re-assign zone assignments to all inputs. All
inputs must be assigned zone assignments.
The three options on the display are:
Clear
Allows you to clear all node ID assignments and to put inputs into a DISCON state. You can clear input zone assignments from an
individual node or from all nodes at once.
Important Clearing an input's assignment means that all zone information that has been assigned to that input will be lost and
therefore EOL input activity will not be reported.
Auto
Allows you to automatically assign zone numbers to unassigned node inputs in ascending sequential order. Inputs other than
those that are in a DISCON state will have zones assigned. If some inputs have already been assigned zones, selecting this option
can produce a non-sequential series of zones on a node.
For example, if inputs 1-6 on a node are assigned as zones 9-14 and inputs 7-8 are unassigned; by selecting Auto, the system will
search for the highest available zone numbers to assign to inputs 7 and 8. If the highest available zones are 26 and 27, the zone
sequence on this node will read 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 26, 27.
Manual
Allows you to manually re-assign zone assignments to a new node or input. Selecting Manual provides three fields of data, as
follows:
1. Allows you to view an input's zone assignment.
2. Allows you to relocate a zone to another node.
3. Allows you to re-assign a zone to an input.
