Chapter 2: Front panel programming
Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual 87
Device programming
Each device that operates on a notification appliance circuit (NAC) or device loop has
operating parameters that must be set. This includes assigning a device type and
label, programming event notification, etc.
Note: Devices are programmed by entering the address of the device to be
programmed, then setting the device options. It is important to have a printout of the
Device Details > Serial Number report to correlate the device address with the default
label and serial number. This will make device programming much easier. See “Device
Details report” on page 175.
