Step 3: Allocating and Configuring Installed
Components
Allocate and configure all installed communication/expansion modules and bus
devices via Auto Setting.
Auto-Setting Allocation of Communication Modules and Bus
Devices
Performing an Auto-Setting scan finds all installed communication modules and
bus devices connected in the system. As you view the results, you allocate
(“enable”) each, and then you can configure their settings – either now, or later
during installer programming (for configuration details see Manually Allocating &
Configuring Communication Modules, page 32, and Manually Allocating & Configuring
other Modules and Bus Devices, page 34).
To perform an Auto-Setting system scan:
1. Upon accessing the installer Programming mode after system initialization,
when BUS Device: 1)Automatic displays (Auto Settings feature), press OK
( ); BUS SCANNING displays during scanning, until the results display - the
communication modules first, followed by the other bus devices that are found.
For a description of the results, see Describing Auto-Setting Results, page 31.
2. Press to enable the first communication module displayed, and keep
pressing to progress through its parameter configuration screens (which you
can configure now, or later during installer programming).
3. Press again to advance to the next communication module (if applicable) –
followed by all other bus devices found, and again enable/configure for each.
4. Make sure all the communication modules/bus devices found in the scan match
all the communication modules/bus devices physically connected in the system.
When BUS Device: 1)Automatic displays again and the panel beeps, it indicates
you have finished the Auto-Setting scan.
5. Now you can perform a Bus Test to ensure good communication between the
allocated bus devices and the main panel (see Performing a Bus Test, page 31).
NOTE: If you subsequently add more bus devices, you can either allocate and
configure them manually, or repeat an Auto-Setting scan at:
installer Programming menu > 7)Install > 1)BUS Device > BUS Device: 1)Automatic
