Build New Map?

[ESC = NO]

If you would like the LED Alarm Indicator to function on the
front of your System Manager, you must enable Alarm Polling
by building an Alarm Map. This map keeps track of which
units exist on your communications loop so the System
Manager will poll only those units. That means you will need
to rebuild this map anytime units are added or removed from
your system. It also means you can disable alarm polling. To do
this, disconnect the RS-485 communications plug from the
back of your Comm Link IV. Then, select the Rebuild Alarm
Map menu. The System Manager will not find any units to poll
for alarms since none are connected. This is useful during
building startup, when you don't want nuisance alarms
bothering you.

The screen will display each address it is testing and if a unit
has been found at that address. If you know you only have two
loops on your system and you don't want to wait for it to test
the remaining twenty-eight loops, you can press the ESC key as
soon as Loop 3 is displayed and the test will conclude. All units
found up to that point will be saved in memory.

The System Manager does not rebuild this map automatically
on powerup!
You must do this manually. This rebuild should
only be performed one time, when all units are up and running.
It is not a regular requirement. As mentioned above, only when
the number of units connected changes should the alarm map
be rebuilt.
