Do I Need an LCD Keypad?: Setting up a new
system/panel does not require an LCD keypad to be
installed. (You only need to know the serial number of
each main panel and expansion module--look for a
small hand-written label on the back of each circuit
board.) Transferring settings from an Existing Panel:
In this case, you will need an LCD keypad to view (or
set) the "Panel Code" (S001:5) and "Third-Party
Password" (S005:1). Note: The "Panel Code" must be
set to a non-zero value.
1) This section assumes that your system
devices (panels, expansion modules,
doors, and sensors) have already been
installed, or that someone else is installing
them.
Note: If you do require details on physical
installation of a system components, refer to the
Commissioning or Installation Guide for your
system, in conjunction with the installation
instructions provided with each physical device.
2) If your VEREX Director software has not
been installed yet, or if you are upgrading
from an earlier version of software, refer to
"PC Issues and Software Installation".
3) The provided 'activation key' needs to be
plugged onto the server (or only) PC. (
V4: USB connector; V3.3.2: Parallel/
printer port; V3.3.3: Either).
The activation key provides 90 days of operation
with standard features. For additional features,
client-server operation, or extended duration, you
must run the license-manager program. For
details, refer to "Software Activation and Licensing".
Note: For a client-server installation where you'll be
working from a separate client PC, you'll also need to
identify this PC (and other client PCs) to the server.
For details, refer to "Client/Server Access and
Permissions".
4) If you wish to transfer settings from an xL
main panel that was programmed through
a system LCD keypad, refer to "Importing
Settings from an Existing VEREX Director
System Panel", to follow / below.
5) For each main panel, and expansion /
application module (POD) in the system,
you will need to know the device's serial
number so it can be correctly identified to
the software.
Tip: The serial number for each device can
typically be found on a hand-written label on the
device's circuit board.
6) You must be aware of how the facility is to
be divided into 'Areas', if applicable. In
general, this will typically pertain to
departmental divisions, or any other major
divisions where different monitoring
characteristics are to be in effect, and/or
where a different set of users are to have
access.
Note: If you need more information on this, find
out from the installation co-ordinator, building
manager, or other contact at the site.
7) For basic testing of access-control
functions, you will need at least one
access card / token with a known "ID"
number (and optional 'PIN' number).
