This form is used to enter the initial data about the location both physically and logically of the new site. The New
Site button at the top of the form clears the form of any information. Follow these steps for adding a new site to
the UniNet network:
• Click on the Site ID text box (clicking on the down arrow opens a list box of existing sites). If the new site
is based on a local area network server, enter the naming convention Local## , where ## is the server
number from 1 to 10. If the site is a remote site, any sequence of 15 or fewer characters will work to
identify the site.
• Select the Site Name text box (once again the list box contains existing site names). The Site Name
box holds the "real world" description of the site. Enter a description of the site here.
• The next section is the Calling Information section. This area holds information pertaining to outbound
calls to remote BCI locations. If the new site to be created is a local site, skip this section. Otherwise,
enter the phone number of the modem for the remote BCI in the Phone Number text box.
The Primary Alarm Server field will be automatically configured when the first event comes into the
system. The Transport and Last Contact fields are updated automatically by the workstation.
• The
Additional Information
box contains custom definable fields that hold non-system-vital
information about the site. These fields are defined on the Site Information Setup page of the
System Administration, Options, System Setup tab form.
Additional Information
fields can
contain information such as contact names and numbers for a site, mailing addresses, or any other
general information.
• Once all data has been entered properly and verified, click Apply to save the information and OK to
close the form. If you would like to cancel the creation of the new site, click Cancel .

The information for a site can also be edited at any point after it has been created. To do this, select Graphics,
Edit, Site Information . This will open the same dialog box used to add a new site. Simply edit the desired
information and again, click Apply and OK .
