VL software has not established communication with the panel. Recheck the USB cable
connection. If the USB icon turns

read the message and steps 1 through 4 in "Writing a Message to the Panel" to write the message.

The table below defines the capabilities for the FireLite FACPs that can automatically trigger the
audio system using the audio system’s “FACP Data Bus”. The FACP annunciator bus serves as
“FACP Data Bus” to the audio system. Note that automatic triggering capability is dependent upon
the FACP model, FACP version, and which annunciator bus protocol is used.
