3. Select the Input/Aux checkbox to verify the auxiliary DC power output function, if this
processor will supply power to an auxiliary device via T4.
Once the functions are tested and verified on the UCM Status tab:
1. For power distribution via the A Side cable, on the Side A Cfig tab, select DC Power Output
and Cable pair/loop supervision.
2. For power distribution via the B Side cable, on the Side B Cfig tab, select DC Power Output
and Cable pair/loop supervision.
3. If this processor will provide power to an auxiliary device via T4, select the Aux DC Power
Output checkbox on the Aux Cfig tab.
4. Save and download the configuration changes to the processor.
Processor synchronization
For fully closed perimeters with 2 or 3 processors uncheck the Accept Sync Signal checkbox on
one of the processors (see Figure 81:
).
For open ended perimeters, leave the Accept Sync Signal checkbox checked for all of the
connected processors (default setting).
Audio “listen-in” function
The Audio listen-in function of the FlexZone processor provides a digital audio representation of
the signals received from the FlexZone sensor zones. The FlexZone Audio Tool (NMS Audio.exe)
is a Windows application that produces an audio output based on the fence disturbance signals
picked up by FlexZone sensor cable. The NMS Audio MUX node is used to define the FlexZone
sensor zones available for audio monitoring. The Audio Tool can be used to listen to one zone, or
to multiple zones, through the default audio device of the computer on which it runs. The Audio
Tool can be run on any computer that has a network connection to the target NMS. The Audio Tool
is available on CD as an add-on to the NMS (p/n 00SW0250). FlexZone Audio uses the existing
Silver Network media. No additional cables are required.
Using the Audio listen-in function via the UCM
The UCM enables the Audio listen-in function through a local USB connection or remotely via the
Network Manager. With a UCM connection you can listen to one zone, or one sensor cable, or
both sensor cables through the computer’s audio device. To use, or test, FlexZone’s Audio listen-
in function via the UCM make a connection between the UCM and the FlexZone processor.
1. On the Status tab in the Audio field specify what will be monitored (Zone, Cable A, Cable B
Cable A & B).
2. Select the Speaker button to enable the Audio listen-in function.
3. Set the Squelch to prevent low level background noise from producing an audio output.
Note The test functions are temporary settings and the processor will revert
to the Side A, Side B and Aux configuration settings when reset.
Note Refer to the NMS Front Panel and Audio Tool online help files for
additional details on FlexZone Audio setup.
