This chapter discusses manually adding, deleting, and editing the 
attributes of the panel’s IDNet points. 
In most cases, it is recommended that you use the panel’s auto program-
ming feature (see Chapter 3) when initially programming the panel, or 
when adding devices to an existing job. Auto programming scans the 
IDNet channel and automatically adds devices that it finds to the job. 
Once the devices are added, use the manual programming procedures 
described in this chapter to adjust the point attributes listed below to 
your site-specific needs.
• Hardware Type. Identifies the specific type of device. If auto pro-
gramming was used, the hardware type was automatically set and 
does not need to be changed.
• Function Type. Determines the operation of the device by speci-
fying the way in which the system responds when changes occur to 
the electrical state of the device. For example, one function type 
might define a fire alarm as a current-limited state and another 
might define a fire alarm as a short. 
• Label. Up to 20 characters can be used to create a custom label for 
the point.
• Alarm Group. Allows you to define selective signaling groups if 
necessary. Each point can be associated with up to three alarm 
groups. An initiating device can only activate outputs (NACs, 
relays, etc.) that share the same alarm group assignment. 
To manually add, edit, or delete a IDNet point, you must first login at 
Access Level 4. Refer to Chapter 1 for information on doing this.
