NCS Manual PN 51095:B1 3/08/02 41
3.4 Supervisory, Security, and Pre-Alarm
When a supervisory, security, or pre-alarm signal is received from the control panel it is reported to
the NCS. The NCS will report the supervisory, security, and pre-alarm in three ways; the
appropriate icon in the banner will flash, the supervisory, security, or pre-alarm will be reported in
the Events window, and it will show up in the Event Counters window.
Select Acknowledge to acknowledge that a supervisory, security, or pre-alarm has been reported: it
will then be shown in the Acknowledged Events window under its appropriate category. Select
Signal Silence to silence NAC’s, and select Reset in order to reset the control panel.
3.5 Menu Options for Operating the NCS

The File Menu (refer to Figure 3.6) allows for printer setup, or exiting the NCS application.

3.5.1.1 Exit
The Exit command from the file menu exits the NCS program and places the user in the Windows
NT 4.0 Workstation environment. The user is prompted for a password. After entering the correct
password a warning display indicates the user is exiting the NCS application (refer to Figure 3.7).
The user should either press Ok to exit the NCS application or press Cancel to abort.
Caution: Leaving the NCS application disconnects the NCS from Noti•Fire•Net which leaves the
building unprotected and the NCS not performing Life Safety functions.

Figure 3.8.

3.5.2.1 Login
The Login command allows the user to gain access to the NCS by selecting his or her name in the
dialog box. Both a user name and a password are required to log on (refer to Figure 3.9). When
the NCS is first powered up, the initial user name is Admin. After initial login, the Administration
Account password must be changed to something other than Admin to ensure system security. The
administration account user should then set up accounts with temporary passwords for all operators
that will be accessing the NCS. Passwords can be up to 19 characters long.
