3.3.4 Monitoring Profiles
Monitoring profiles allow the Administrator to select which nodes are monitored by a workstation.
Monitoring profiles are event annunciation filters that are set up to monitor or not monitor an event location and its
event type at the workstation.
By using monitoring profiles along with control profiles, supervision of portions of the network is possible.
Each profile is defined for a specific network and/or node on a network and determines which events are displayed by
the workstation.
Monitoring profiles are configured using the configuration tool. Refer to the
Intelligent Fire Integrator Configuration
Tool Installation & Operation Manual
(P/N 53380) for additional information.
The factory defined monitoring profile ‘Default’ is set to monitor all networks and nodes. Therefore, to hide any
desired networks or nodes and the respective event types, the Administrator must create a new monitoring profile
using the configuration tool.
Monitoring profiles are activated through the workstation as follows:
1.
Select
Configure > Monitoring Profiles
. The Monitoring Profiles window displays.
2.
Select a profile listed in the Monitoring Profile column of the window. The ‘Default’ profile may be the only
one listed.
3.
Click
Activate Profile
. The workstation displays information only for the locations and event types
specified in the selected monitoring profile.
NOTE:
Monitoring Profiles must be configured before selecting settings on the Event Printer tab,
Pager/Modem tab, or Email tab.
