CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM
There are two basic methods for configuring the CyberCat system: AUTOPROGRAM or ENGINEERED
CONFIGURE.
3.3.1 AUTOPROGRAM
This configuration method is used for small systems requiring typically no more than one zone of operation.
This method allows you to connect all unaddressed devices to the panels SLC circuits and by using panel’s
AUTO ADDRESSING function, each device is randomly addressed in the order that they are recognized by
the panel. The panel’s LEARN function is then used to upload the default configuration held by each device
into the panel. Each device (inputs and outputs) is assigned to Zone 1 by default. At this point, the panel
configuration menus can be used to make simple changes to the system/device configurations. For more
extensive configuration changes, you should use the C-Linx configuration software to create a configuration
template, make necessary changes, and upload the modified configuration back into the control panel.

Note:
The drawback to using the AUTOPROGRAMMING method is that the devices are randomly
addressed; therefore, you must document the actual location of each device during the functional testing
of the system. If any device was missed, you must manually add it into the configuration.
3.3.2 ENGINEERED
CONFIGURE
This configuration method is used for larger more complex systems requiring multiple zones of operation. In
this arrangement, a Fire Alarm designer creates installation documents for the project that identifies the
required location and address of each addressable device. The installer then installs and addresses each
device according to the installation documents. The following sections outline the different methods that can
be used to address each device.
