Configuration and Programming
P/N 06-237058-001 3-3 February 2012
3-1.2 Site-Specific Programming
Each ARIES NETLink system must be uniquely configured for the specific end-user application.
System configuration involves assigning an address and operating characteristics to each SmartOne
initiating or output device. It also involves defining what initiating events or combinations of initiating
events will activate the various output circuits and devices. A site-specific application program can be
created in the following three ways:
3-1.2.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION VIA THE AUTO-SETUP ROUTINE
The Auto-Setup Routine sets operating parameters for SLC-based devices by the combination of the
device's type and address on the SLC. It assigns fixed activation sequences for each output circuit and
output device by specific-initiating-device status and combinations-of-initiating-device status.
See Footnote #27 of Figure 3-26 for a complete discussion of system configuration through the Auto-
Setup Routine.
3-1.2.2 CONFIGURING A SYSTEM USING THE REMOTE CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The ARIES NETLink system can also be configured via the ARIES NETLink remote configuration
software for individual site-specific applications. This software allows you to set the operating
parameters for the SmartOne initiating devices and to create activation sequences for each output
circuit and each output device by specific-initiating-device status and combinations-of-initiating-
device status.
Refer to the ARIES NETLink Configuration Tool User’s Guide (P/N 06-237059-001) for an
explanation of system configuration through the ARIES NETLink remote configuration Software.
Notes:
1. A PC (or laptop) must be connected to the RS232 or USB port of the Main Controller Board to
be able to configure the ARIES NETLink system using the remote configuration software. Refer
to Section 2-11.3, Connecting A Laptop, Remote Computer or Printer, for instructions on how
to connect a remote PC to the RS232 or USB port.
2. If any change is made to the control unit configuration, the control unit will automatically restart
in order to begin using the new settings. Note that the USB or RS232 cable should be
disconnected at this time.
3-1.2.3 CONFIGURING A SYSTEM FROM THE KEYPAD/DISPLAY
The SET Menu in the system menus (accessed from the Keypad/Display) is another method which
can be used to configure the ARIES NETLink.
Note: If any change is made to the control unit configuration (using any of the three methods
mentioned above), the control unit will automatically restart in order to begin using the new
settings. Note that the USB or RS232 cable should be disconnected at this time.
