Connecting Systems
To program, edit or monitor a System (Panel) that you have successfully added to your
intelliTRACE network, you must first
Connect to this System.
There are three ways to have the intelliTRACE Supervisory Controller connect to your
Panel (System) network:
1. Select the System (Panel) that you wish to edit or program from either the Sys-
tem Tree Pane on the left or from the Panel List on the right. A fully expanded
System Tree is represented in Figure 6:
Recall from the System Navigation section above that the System Tree
may be fully or discretely expanded or collapsed by selecting the appro-
priate buttons within the system network at the bottom of the System Tree
Pane.
Select the
Edit System
button found in the bottom of the System Tree Pane.
The
System Edit window appears. Select the Connect button in the bottom of
the System Edit window. See Figure 7.
2. Select the
Connect All
button at the bottom of the Main Screen. This con-
nects all Panels (Systems) that have
been properly saved to your network.
3. Select the Connect to All Systems
on Startup checkbox that is found
on the Application Setup page. This
page is presented when you select
the
Configure
button at the bottom
of the Main Screen. See
Configuring
Your System section for more detail.
If the settings are correct, the
System Con-
nected window appears which confirms the
proper communication settings.
Alternatively, should the communication data
not match, a
Communication Error window
will be presented. In this case, double check
the communication settings on the panel and
retry the connection steps. See Figure 8.
Once you have made a successful connection
between the intelliTRACE Supervisory Control-
ler and the targeted System(s)/Panel(s), you are
now ready to monitor, program or edit the cir-
cuits.
You may now close the System Edit window (
X
in upper right corner). To program or edit individual circuits, pro-
ceed to the
Programming & Editing section.
