Configuration and Programming
P/N 06-237058-001 3-5 February 2012
Note: It is easier and faster to use the configuration software to configure the modules, than to use
the Keypad/Display on the Control Unit. Refer to the ARIES NETLink Configuration Tool
(ACT8000) User’s Guide, (Chapters 2 and 3) P/N 06-237059-001, to configure the modules.
Table 3-1. Main Menu Functions and Descriptions
Menu Function Description
ISOLATE Device and
Circuit Isolation
The ISOLATE commands prevent the ARIES NETLink control unit from acting upon
signals from initiating devices or from issuing activation commands to outputs. The
initiating devices and outputs remain operational, but are disconnected from the
control unit in the sense that events reported by isolated initiating devices are
ignored by the control unit and commands to activate are ignored by isolated outputs
and control modules.
LIST Listing of Events
and System
Settings
The LIST commands are used to view the set of isolated initiating devices and control
outputs. These commands are also used to display configuration settings for
automatic initiating devices, to display the list of devices on the SLC and to view
lower-level events that are not displayed due to the occurrence of higher-level events.
SET Change
Operating
Parameters
The SET commands allow the installer to change the sensitivity settings for Smart-
One automatic initiating devices, to address and register initiating and control
devices, to activate a set of networked control units or to define global operating
parameters such as Global Acknowledgement of trouble and supervisory events.
These commands are also used to trigger automatic configuration routines such as
AutoLearn and AutoSetup.
TEST Confirming
Proper
Operation
The TEST commands enable service personnel to test the SmartOne initiating
devices for the ability to transmit alarm signals. You can also perform alarm-
simulation tests for the system's application program and can command on control
modules connected to the SLC.
