Field Panel Setup Page

The Field Panel Setup page is used specifically for adding or modifying new hardware. Here is

where you configure the ACU’s address, serial number, communications port, off line message, and

expansion modules.

Figure 167.Field Panel: Setup

The Field Panel Setup page contains the following information:

Panel Name Enter a name for the field panel (up to 15 characters).

Panel Type The only selection is ACU. In future software versions there will be more selections available to

select from a drop-down list.

Maximum Readers Select the maximum number of readers that this panel may be configured for: 2, 4 or 8.

Polling Address Set the Address of the ACU panel by clicking on the address from the drop-down list. Notice that

the list has numbers 0-9 and then A-F. The address is set in what is called “Hex” or Hexadecimal

numbers with 0-F equivalent to 0-15 respectively. The Polling Address must match the address of

the field panel.

The polling address is manually set with a rotary or DIP switch in the field panel and should have

been set when it was installed. If you are not sure of the address contact the installer of the panel.

Active If the ACU panel is “Active”, click the box to show a check mark.

If the Host PC should start (polling) communicating with the Panel after saving the configuration to

the Host, then click the box to the right to place a check mark in the box. This indicates the field

panel is active.

If no check mark is placed in the box (default), the configuration for the panel can be saved, but the

Host PC will not start polling the panel. At a later time this field can be changed to have the Host

start polling the panel.

This is very useful when you would like to configure panels in advance, before the installation of the

panels or communication connection
