Configuration and Programming
P/N 06-237041-001 3-3 February 2011
3-1.2 Site-Specific Programming
Each FenwalNET 8000-ML System must be uniquely configured for the specific end-user application.
System configuration involves assigning an address and operating characteristics to each SmartOne
initiating, relay, or control device. It also involves defining what initiating events or combinations of
initiating events will activate the various control unit-based output circuits and SLC-based relay and
control devices. A site-specific application program can be created in the following three ways:
3-1.2.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION VIA THE AUTO-SETUP ROUTINE
The Auto-Setup Routine sets operating parameters for SLC-based devices by the combination of the
device's type and address on the SLC. It assigns fixed activation sequences for each control unit-based
output circuit and each SLC-based relay and control device by specific-initiating-device report and
combinations-of-initiating-device reports.
See Footnote #26 of Figure 3-24 for a complete discussion of system configuration through the Auto-
Setup Routine.
3-1.2.2 CONFIGURING A SYSTEM USING THE REMOTE CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The FenwalNET 8000-ML System can also be configured via the FenwalNET 8000-ML Remote
Configuration Software for individual site-specific applications. This software allows you to set the
operating parameters for the SmartOne initiating devices and to create activation sequences for each
control unit-based output circuit and each SLC-based relay and control device by specific-initiating-
device report and combinations-of-initiating-device reports.
Refer to the FenwalNET 8000-ML Configuration Software User’s Guide (P/N 06-237042-001) for an
explanation of system configuration through the FenwalNET 8000-ML Configuration Software.
Notes:
1. A PC (or laptop) must be connected to the RS232 or USB port of the Main Controller Board to
be able to configure the FenwalNET 8000-ML system using the configuration software. Refer to
Section 2-9.3, Connecting A Laptop, Remote Computer or Printer, for instructions on how to
connect a remote PC to the RS232 or USB port.
2. If any change is made to the control unit configuration, the control unit will automatically restart
in order to begin using the new settings. Note that the USB or RS232 cable should be
disconnected at this time.
3-1.2.3 CONFIGURING A SYSTEM FROM THE KEYPAD/DISPLAY
The SET Menu in the system menus (accessed from the Keypad/Display) is another method which
can be used to configure the FenwalNET 8000-ML.
Note: If any change is made to the control unit configuration (using any of the three methods
mentioned above), the control unit will automatically restart in order to begin using the new
settings. Note that the USB or RS232 cable should be disconnected at this time.
