Using the Configurator
19.6.1 Node Grouping
Grouping is a way of isolating nodes from each other. Nodes that belong to one group are
isolated from nodes that belong to another group. Alarms and troubles that occur in one group
are not annunciated on the nodes of another group.
For example, in a facility consisting of two towers, you can place the nodes of the North Tower
in the North group and the nodes of the South Tower in South group. If there is a CACF
(central alarm control facility) node in a common area (for example, a lobby), you can place it
in both groups. Alarms or fire drill activation in the North Tower will not be transmitted to the
South Tower, and vice versa. The CACF node, because it is a member of both groups, will
annunciate events from both towers.
IP Address The IP (Internet Protocol) address of this node's Ethernet
connection.
Subnet mask Identifies which network segment the node is on.
Default gateway The address of the local IP router that forwards traffic
outside of the local network.
Supervise Ethernet
Connection
If you select this check box, then a trouble is reported if no
Ethernet cable is connected to the node.
Graphics Workstation Select Enable to allow MMX to communicate with
OpenGN.
If Supervise Connection is selected, then MMX reports a
loss of connection with OpenGN as a trouble on the
annunciators.
Web Services Select Enable and click Activate Web Services to turn on
the Web Server. This allows you to access the system
with a browser. See chapter 18.
Enter the User Name and Password required to access
the node's web server. The default username is admin
and the default password is mircom.
If the username and password are changed, the changes
will be applied to all nodes in the job. If new nodes are
added or copied from this node, they will have the same
username and password as the existing nodes.
BACnet Select Enable and click Activate BACnet to allow the
node to run a BACnet (Building Automation and Control
Networks) Server. See chapter 17.
