4.5. RADIO NETWORK SPECIFICS

Astra-8945 Pro Control Panel has embedded transceiver RVZ and supports connection

of up to 7 external wireless zones extenders WE 2.4 GHz or WE 433 MHZ, each of them

is an own network coordinator. The number of supported WE 433 MHz extenders is

limited to 4.

WE 2.4 GHz networks operate under IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee Pro standard. Each wireless

network has its own proprietary set of parameters stored in non-volatile memory of the

corresponding coordinator.

Each WE 2.4 GHz wireless network supports up to 250 wireless devices such as routers

(RTR), detectors and alerters. RTRs are intended to extend coverage range of the

wireless network due to 16 levels of signal retransmission and increase communication

stability between wireless devices and central Control Panel. RTRs also provide

information flows dynamic routing within network.

WE 433MHz networks work under frequency range of 433.92 MHz ± 0,2% with support of

only one level of signal retransmission. The network topology is “tree”. Signal

retransmission is provided by the same WE 433MHz extenders switched to repeater

mode.

Each wireless device can belong to one network coordinator only.

All wireless devices of all wireless networks are recorded in a single list in the Control

Panel memory.

4.6. RS-485 INTERFACE FEATURES

System devices are connected via RS-485 interface of TIA / EIA-485-A standard.

System devices` drivers (MAX3085 or HVD2x) allow connecting of more than 100

devices with the interface length of up to 1.5 km without taking special measures on

16

signal amplification or retransmission.

31

7.3. SYSTEM USERS AND THEIR PERMISSIONS

System supports 4 types of users with different authority levels:

The Engineer can login the system from any PC of the network, on which MSS

modules are installed, as well as from hardwired/wireless keypads. System stops

functioning while the Engineer is being logged in the system. Default Engineer’s PIN is

«1 2 3 4 5 6» and it has the highest priority. The Engineer cannot control the system

(arming/disarming). The Engineer’s account cannot be deleted from the system. The

Engineer can freely change system settings.

The Technician can read out some settings of the system from system database in

order to carry out equipment maintenance. The Technician can arm/disarm the system

with its PIN. Technician can login the system from any PC of the network, on which

MSS modules are installed, as well as from hardwired/wireless keypads. The

Technician doesn’t stop work of the Operators (see below). The Technician cannot

change system settings.

The Operator performs system monitoring. The Operator can arm/disarm the system

with its PIN. The Operator cannot change system settings.

The User can arm/disarm alarm system with its PINs, ТМ keys, Wiagand cards,

Remote Control keyfobs in concordance with specified permissions.

Attention! Loss of the Engineer’s PIN leads to complete reset of the Control Panel to de-

fault settings and initialization of a new system database.

Attention!

The pre-set «Engineer» PIN code must be necessarily changed.

32

7.4. MSS ASTRA-PRO INSTALLATON OPTIONS

7.4.1. MSS Astra-Pro can be installed and used in a variety of ways:

On one PC with SQL Server installed.

In a local computer network with SQL Server and MSS modules distributed among several computers.

For system remote setting and monitoring through the Internet provided Astra-LAN module is installed inside the Control Panel and static IP address is assigned.

7.4.2. We recommend using USB connection of the panel to PC only for initial system configuration, but not for system monitoring. For the continuous monitoring should be used: additional RS-485 ports provided:

Astra-RS-485 module is installed,

None of hard-wired devices is registered on selected RS-485 port,

Astra-984 adapter is used for physical connection (not included) LAN-port provided:

Astra-LAN module is installed (not included),

EIA/TIA 568B crossed-type patch cord is used for connection to the closest router or PC network card.

For connection diagram refer to Paragraph 6 of this guide. In the tab of the System Control task the MSS communication ports must be specified.

The longer RS-485 interface lenght is used, the lower data exchange rate must be selected. When more than one port is used for monitoring, the highest priority has the highest one from the list. For example, USB is more priority than RS-485; RS-485 in its turn is more priority than Socket B RS-485; etc. When connection is lost, the most priority port of the remaining ones is activated. Warning! Please, take into account that switching from one communication port to another one takes time, sometimes about one minute.

8. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLERS

8.1. WIRELESS PART OF THE SYSTEM

Astra-8945 Pro has embedded radio transceiver 2.4 GHz, which supports up to 250

wireless devices of different types.

Astra-8945 Pro allows connecting of up to 7 external wireless zones extenders WE 2.4

GHz with support of 250 wireless devices of different types by each one. Thus the full

capacity of the wireless part of the system is 2000 wireless devices.

Astra-8945 Pro also allows connecting of up to 4 external wireless zones extenders WE

433 MHz. 433 MHz wireless part of the system may consist of 192 wireless devices being

registered in one extender or distributed between 4 extenders.

Total amount of external wireless zones extenders of any type cannot exceed 7.

Astra-8945 Pro or WE 2.4 network supports dynamic routing of information flows within

the network, so that wireless devices are not strongly linked to each other and data

transmission routs are built automatically within the network through several levels (up to

16) of signal retransmission.

WE 433 network supports only one level of signal retransmission, but doesn’t support

dynamic routing function.

Wireless coverage range depends on the number and nature of obstacles inside the

protected facility and on operating frequency.

8.2. WIRELESS NETWORK 2.4 GHZ

To ensure efficient operation of detectors and alerters at real facilities, special devices are

included into radio network that perform signal retransmission with the checkback and

dynamic routing while delivering messages to the Control Panel, delivering commands to

each alerter and checkback about command execution.

These devices are routers/repeaters Astra-Z-8845, Astra-Z-8745 and relay units Astra-Z-

8245.

There are some restrictions that are imposed on routers’ functions:

30 wireless devices per one router. At least one router/repeater per 30 wireless devices must be registered.

2 remote controls Astra-Z-3245 per one router,

34

processing no more than 16 information flows coming from the same routers/repeaters,

max 16 levels of signal retransmission,

lack of bindings between each other and “daughter” devices.

ATTENTION! Don’t turn off the power and move away from radio visibility area those devices that are already registered in wireless network!

In order to avoid loss of wireless communication between Control Panel and wireless devices and ensure effectiveness of dynamic routing algorithm, we recommend registering one router per 12-15 wireless devices.

8.3. WIRELESS NETWORK 433 MHZ

Wireless zones extender WE 433 MHz supports up to 4 repeaters which are the same extenders WE 433 MHz switched to repeater mode. Each wireless device of WE 433 MHz network is strongly linked to the extender itself or repeater without possibility to automatically change its “parent” device. When registering wireless device in WE 433 MHz network via repeater, the number (address, for example WE 433 #71) of the repeater must be selected in “via” drop-down

list of the W/devices List window.

Current version of MSS software doesn’t allow displaying “parent” device address of wireless devices registered in WE 433 MHz networks in Owner column of the W/devices List. So, we strongly recommend printing the list and making notes regarding “parent” devices.

35

8.4. ABOUT 2.4 GHZ WIRELESS COMPONENTS ON-SITE PLACEMENT

Important!

The system wireless networks’ ability to automatically select a data transfer route

to the Control Panel through a large number of retransmission levels makes

wireless device installation completely independent from the complexity of the

facility, quantified by the number of obstacles for wireless signal propagation

(walls, intermediate floors, etc.). Thus, it is possible to cover long corridor

structures of large buildings such as hotels, medical institutions, industrial

facilities, etc.

The nature of radio signal propagation has little effect on layout of system components,

i.e. devices may be placed in those locations defined at a design stage. This is achieved

by the ability of free introducing of more routers than originally designed into the

retransmission circuit. The mechanism for introducing such is quite simple: just register

the additional router in the wireless network and place it between the components with

problematic connection. An automatic wireless network functioning algorithms “integrate”

new component creating new routes without subjective interference.

The average communication range between a detector and wireless network

coordinator or a detector and a router is approximately 15-20 meters with 2 dry

walls of 1 brick thick (partitions between rooms) or one industrial reinforced

concrete intermediate floor of up to 40 cm thick.

The average communication range between a router and wireless network

coordinator or a router and another router is approximately 20-50 meters with 3

dry walls 1 brick thick (walls between rooms) or one industrial reinforced

concrete intermediate floor of up to 40 cm thick, combined with one dry wall of 1

brick thick.

Facility construction materials such as glass or dry wood (with final water content

of 5-8%) do not significantly decrease wireless communication range; therefore,

the average distance on the “detector – wireless network coordinator” or

“detector – router” line may be up to 50-100 meters, and a distance on the

“router – wireless network coordinator” or “router – router” line may be of up to

350-400 meters.

Metal reinforcing mesh structures (in reinforced concrete or plaster) do not cause

significant attenuation of wireless signals until the linear dimensions of

structural cells or their projection onto a plane perpendicular to the propagation

axis is greater than the wavelength in the range of 2.4 GHz: 12.5 cm.

When selecting wireless device installation locations, observe the requirements that follow

from the physical laws that are the basis for the operation of all types of wireless

devices:

36

Do not place wireless components directly on massive metal structures (metal building

framework, ventilation ducts, shelves, etc.), as this will decrease the effectiveness of

antennas because metal structures release and distort the antenna pattern.

Do not place wireless devices inside metal structures (in cabinets, in rooms with fine

metal mesh in the wall finishing, etc.). Use remote antennas, if needed.

Do not place power supply wires of the central Control Panel and routers in cable

channels together with high-power cables of 220-380 V power grids.

Do not place wireless devices close to (min 1 m away of) sources of radio interference

(medical devices that use electromagnetic field during operation, video signal

processing devices and computer hardware, antennas and radio frequency tracts of

communication devices, including radio message transmitting systems, etc.).

Place wireless devices (except the control panel, keypad, FCP, wireless relay unit and

WLD) as high as possible, no lower than 2 m away of the floor; as a rule, at this height

there are the fewest obstacles in rooms, and this height also ensures normal

functioning conditions for IR, AC, MC, and SD, HD type of detectors according to the

physical principles of detection.

Place wireless devices no closer than 10 cm away of the surface of walls and ceilings

that contain closely spaced metal reinforcement (reinforced concrete) or fine mesh

reinforcement (less than 4 cm) under plaster surfaces.

During placement, ensure the least possible deviation from direct view and obstruction

by foreign objects between directly communicating wireless devices.

In premises with high human occupancy, place wireless devices so as to ensure backup

data transfer routes, as people moving throughout the space can weaken wireless

signals.

General recommendations: for every 2-3 adjacent rooms on a single floor with a

total of 4-5 detectors per room, install one router. This will automatically ensure

good conditions for achieving a communication quality level of at least 4 and the

possibility of backup routes.

8.5. ABOUT 433 MHZ WIRELESS COMPONENTS ON-SITE PLACEMENT

37

8.6. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON WIRELESS COMPONENTS ON-

SITE PLACEMENT

Do not place wireless devices directly on massive metal constructions to avoid distortion of antenna pattern;

Do not place central control panel Astra-8945 Pro, wireless zones extenders and wireless devices inside metal constructions (metal boxes, safes etc.) or use re-mote antenna to secure wireless connection;

Wireless relay unit Astra-Z-8245, when installed into metal box, must be con-nected with remote antenna (included into delivery set);

Do not place power supply wires of the central control panel and routers in cable channels jointly with high-power cables of AC 220-380 V power nets;

Do not place wireless devices close to (min 1 m away of) sources of radio inter-ference (medical devices that use electromagnetic field during operation, video signal processing devices and computer hardware, antennas and radio fre-quency tracts of communication devices, including radio message transmitting systems, etc.);

Place wireless devices (except the control panel, keypad, FCP, wireless relay unit and WLD) as high as possible and no lower than 2 m away of the floor; as a rule, at this height there are the fewest obstacles, and this height also ensures normal functioning conditions for IR, AC, MC, and SD, HD type of detectors ac-cording to the physical principles of detection;

Place wireless devices no closer than 10 cm away of the surface of walls and ceil-ings that contain closely spaced metal reinforcement (reinforced concrete) or fine mesh reinforcement (less than 4 cm) under plaster surfaces;

During placement, ensure the least possible deviation from direct view and ob-struction by foreign objects between directly communicating wireless devices;

In premises with high human occupancy, place wireless devices so as to ensure backup data transfer routes, as people moving throughout the space can weaken wireless signals;

9. SYSTEM SETUP

System setup is performed in two main stages:

Stage 1: System equipment setup and testing. This stage includes registering

devices in the control panel memory and recording required parameters into sysytem

devices.

Stage 2: On-site installation. This stage is performed after the whole system

operability test is completed.

9.1. MSS SETUP MODULE

Perform setup operations in accordance with the instructions given in the Setup Module.

Perform system setup in a sequence of the Task Tree.

Task tree

Setup instructions

39

9.1.1. The Procedure.

1) Place the system equipment on worktable at the facility close to the Control Panel and

the computer with MS SQL Server and MSS Astra-Pro installed.

2) Wire system components in accordance with Wiring Diagram of Paragraph 6 of this

Guide.

3) Connect the Control Panel to the computer via USB.

4) Launch the Core Service using Core Manager. By default the Core Service is

launched automatically at PC start up.

When the MSS is installed, the DB contains a single user with Engineer permissions and

a pre-set PIN «1 2 3 4 5 6»; therefore, the launched Core receives this PIN as the access

password for administration when it communicates with the DB. The Engineer PIN is

active in the Core until it is changed and recorded to the DB or recorded to the Control

Panel memory, which entails automatic updating of the DB. As soon as it is recorded to

the DB, the new PIN is active in the Core.

5) Launch the Setup Module, login with Engineer PIN. After the PIN is entered, the

Module’s interface is set up according to Engineer permissions, i.e. full access is granted

to system settings.

6) Establish connection with the device by clicking in the toolbox. In some cases,

when changes have been made during a previous setting session and written to the DB

but not to the device, there may be discrepancies in the settings. In this case, the Core

exports a record of discrepancies to a separate screen.

40

7) Read settings out of the device and record them to the DB. Thereafter, when

performing any settings, always record them to the device. The DB is updated

automatically.

8) Perform initial setup: change the Engineer PIN and record it to the device by clicking

.

9) Change all settings needed.

Thereafter, all subsequent settings can be performed using the new password only.

Attention! After the Engineer PIN is changed, be sure to SAVE it. Otherwise, loss of the PIN

causes impossibility of further changing system settings.

41

9.1.2. Device Setup Specifics

General Rules:

Devices of any type can be registered at any selected address (Number) from the list.

Device status request is available immediately after the device registration is

completed.

Status request of a group of devices cannot be performed.

The Setup Module is logged out only with the login PIN.

For more details refer to the integrated manual.

This Guide does not provide detailed instructions regarding system setup!

9.2. SYSTEM MONITORING

Monitoring setup comes to placing system devices icons on graphic plans of the secured

facility.

Setup steps:

42

1) Prepare graphic plans of the secured facility using any graphic editor.

Required file format:

Format: BMP, 32 bit

Size: no larger than 210x297 mm (A4)

Resolution: max 100-120 dpi

2) Save BMP files to ТЕКО/Monitor/Pictures folder.

3) Launch the Monitor with Engineer PIN.

4) Click button to add graphic plan.

43

5) Specify graphic file in the Add building plan pop-up window:

When file is opened and the tab is formed in the plan window of the Monitor window, the

file is saved in the SQL server DB.

Multiple plans can be used with the Monitor depending on the complexity of the facility.

The tabs are be used to switch between graphic plans; the plans are switched

automatically during operation.

After a plan is added, the Replace and Delete tools become active in the toolbox.

6) Select any partition; the Add and Edit tools become active.

Further setup is shown in example below:

Select necessary partition

Click to add a node

Click to close and save a region

A node

44

In order to create a partition area, sequentially place (by clicking) corners of the figure.

The figure closes automatically by clicking the Save button . Corners can be added

or deleted to a closed figure with additional clicks. The location of any corner can be

changed by clicking and dragging.

Partitions’ polygons may overlap or intersect. In case of complete overlapping a pop-up

window appears to select necessary one.

When you login the Monitor Module with Operator or Technician PIN, is case of complete overlapping the graphic area of activated partition will be automatically pushed into the foreground for the partition control.

45

7) Drag&drop necessary device from the System Structure tab on the necessary

position on the graphic plan. The device icon will be added on selected place.

or click Add device button from the toolbox and select device type from a pop-up

window, then place it on necessary position.

46

All partitions regions and device icons are automatically saved in the SQL database.

In the media library of the Monitor there are 6 custom icons in the form of frames. You can add your own ones by replacing icon files in Program Files (x86)\TEKO\MSS Astra Pro-v1.1\Monitor\Images folder. For example, the «Custom 1» icon’s filename is pics_user1_14x14_9.bmp and its content is:

You can replace it with your own file with the same structure, size in pixels and color gamma.

Graphic region of a partition may take up several graphic plans. When the partition is activated due to activation of any detector assigned to it, in the Monitor window you will see that graphic plan and that part of the partition, on which activated detector is located.

47

8) Re-login the Monitor with Operator PIN by clicking . The Monitor window will

change.

Monitor setup is complete.

48

10. MOUNTING DEVICES AT A SECURED FACILITY

10.1. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING!

If after complete system configuration, but before mounting equipment on-

site it should be stored for a long time, we recommend taking battery cells

out of wireless devices in order to save their capacities.

In case the 433 MHz wireless devices are kept with battery cells taken out for more

than 2 weeks, de-synchronization between wireless devices and their “parent” de-

vices may take place. Further it will require re-registering wireless devices again.

1) First mount the Control Panel Astra-8945 Pro, all hardwired devices and alarm

loops cables. Switch the power on.

2) Perform sequential mounting of routers, switching on the power starting from those

closest to the control panel and moving to those farthest ones. Installation in this

order automatically creates optimal data transfer routes within wireless networks

2.4 GHz.

3) Install WE 433 intended to working in repeater mode.

4) Check communication quality. Run Setup Module, open Wireless Devices list

and perform status request for selected device from the right-click menu. Make

sure that communication level is not less than 2 (out of 8) for 2.4 GHz devices and

5 (out of 13) for 433 MHz devices.

49

5) Mount the rest of devices

6) In case the batteries were not removed from wireless devices before mounting,

perform optimization of radio communication using Astra-942 laser tester of each

device.

7) If batteries were removed before installation, put them into devices – first Secon-

dary, then Primary. In this case optimization of radio communication takes place

automatically.

8) To optimize the communication of Astra-Z-8145 Pro, enter Engineer menu and

choose Device\Optimization submenu item. (for details refer to Astra-Z-8145 Op-

eration Manual).

9) For 433 MHz wireless devices optimization procedure is not available.

10) After all devices of the system are mounted and optimized, perform status re-

quest command for each one to check the communication quality as described

above.

In order to check incoming and outgoing traffic of selected device, choose communication quality request command from the right-click menu.

50

The procedure lasts one radio supervision time period. The result will be displayed in the Communication Quality column of the Wireless Devices table. In-depth information on incoming and outgoing communication channel with indication of signal/noise ratio value, LQI value, “parent” device address is available upon communica-tion quality details request command from the same right-click menu.

11) Build devices linkage map on the building floor plans for further analysis. In case

there are some non-optimal links between wireless device and their “parent” devices,

perform optimization procedure.

12) If there are any 2.4. GHz wireless devices with signal level lower than 2 relative

units, register an additional router in the same radio network (belonging to the same

radio network coordinator) and mount between the coordinator and the device.

51

13) In case there are 433 MHz wireless devices with signal level lower than 5 relative units

and they are registered in WE 433 directly, delete them from WE memory, register

additional WE in repeater mode and then register wireless devices in repeater

memory.

14) Test system workability by irradiating each device with laser beam from Astra-942 la-

ser tester using red button. Make sure the Test message is displayed in the Monitor

window for each device. Test is available for all 2.4 GHz devices (except Astra-Z-

3245) and for two 433 MHz devices Astra-4511 RF2 and Astra-421 RF2.

If Astra-GSM module is used, Test signals can be delivered to user’s mobile phone.

For detailed information on test procedure, please, refer to p.10.2 of this Guide.

15) Carry out complex workability test of the system during at least one week, ana-

lyze system event log.

16) Change system settings in necessary. Repeat complex workability test.

52

10.2. TESTING OF INSTALLED EQUIPMENT

There are two testing methods:

1. Real alarm activation method

2. Test method. Recommended for regular system maintenance works.

10.2.1. Test method

Operability test with red button of Astra-942 laser tester is available for all 2.4 GHz wire-

less devices (except Astra-Z-3245) and for two 433 MHz devices Astra-4511 RF2 and As-

tra-421 RF2.

1) Press the red button and irradiate LED of the device

2) Make sure the LED lights up red. That means successful receipt of the command.

3) Make sure Test message is displayed on the Monitor interface in the System

Structure window, Event Log window and floor plan:

4) Test method doesn’t affects relay outputs and voice alerting.

5) You can check Test status of a device with status request command from Wireless

Devices list in the MSS Setup Module.

53

6) For fire-type detectors Astra-Z-4245 and Asra-Z-4545 a group testing is available.

Group test is launched from Wireless Devices tab of the Monitor interface by

means of selecting necessary devices and choosing group testing request com-

mand from the right-click menu. For that purpose the Monitor Module must be

logged in with the Operator or Technician PIN.

Test of the group is carried out in ascending order of address numbers in the list.

54

During testing the detectors, having received the command over the radio, switch on their indicators for the time of 10 seconds, perform the test and send the results to the Control Panel. The test progress is displayed in Mark about passing the test and Date/ Time

columns.

Test results in a form of a relative value of dust, expressed in % for SD detectors, and ac-tual temperature Cº of the ambient air for HD detectors are displayed in the Dust Lev-el/Temperature column. Test results are logged. 10.2.2. System outputs testing is available only from the Setup Module interface when

logged in with Engineer PIN.

1) Testing of a system output is performed only in the absence of its assignment to a

logical partition. Therefore, before starting the test it is necessary to de-assign it from a partition and record settings into the Control Panel, and at the end of the test - to restore assignment and record settings into the PPKOP again.

2) Right-click on selected output and choose Switch ON or Switch OFF command.

3) Check the output status visually (for LSA and FLA) or by a multimeter. 10.2.3. Testing the voice alerting (including test messages) in any alerting area is availa-

ble from the Monitor interface when it is run with Technician or Operator PIN.

When testing, de-assign relay output from all par-titions

55

1) Enginer can start voice alerting test from the Setup Module.

2) All tests of voice alerting are logged. 3) Technician or Operator can start voice alerting test from the Monitor interface on the

Voice Alerting tab.

4) Right-click on selected alerting area and select message to start by number, or select message number in Start field.

5) After the pre-set delay (min 30 sec) the voice alerters Astra-Z-2945 playback se-

lected message in selected area.

6) To intentionally stop the alerting, choose Stop alerting … command from the context

menu or from Start message field.

56

Stop alerting command delivery to all voice alerters may take up to 15 seconds. The

current phrase is played back until the end.

7) In order to test voice alerting from Setup Module, start Setup Module with Engi-

neer PIN.

8) Open Voice Alerting task, tick off necessary message in necessary alerting area,

right click on selected message and choose Start voice alerting in the area com-

mand.

9) Read alerting area status from the right-click menu

10) Stop alerting from the right-click menu.

10.2.4. Testing of the KP or HKP as a separate device is possible only before its registra-

tion in the system according to the KP and HKP operating manual. After registra-

tion the "Test" item of the engineer menu will be hidden.

1) Enter Engineer menu by pressing * OK [password] OK.

2) Select Test item from the menu.

59

12 SYSTEM RESTORE

There is a possibility to backup existing radio networks, i.e. all data about registered wire-

less devices and their parameters. Backup copy is created in control panel and automati-

cally saved in a dedicated field of the database.

We recommend performing the backup procedure only after system setup is completed,

operability tests are done and system is put into operation.

It will allow you to easily replace the central Control Panel Astra-8945 Pro or wireless ex-

tenders WE 2.4 / WE 433 later on, for example, in case of physical damage.

Backup data are saved in current database and in Control Panel memory. Together with

system settings saved it allows recovering full operational capability of the system at any

time.

Backup procedure, as well as restoration procedure is described in instructions of

SYSTEM task of the MSS Setup Module.

15 EVENT LOG

15.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The capacity of Astra 8945 Pro Event Log is 10,000 events. Each event in the log has its

own serial number. When filling the full capacity of the log, a cyclic event overwriting

starts as follows:

1) The oldest event is deleted

2) New event is assigned #0001

When connecting Astra-8945 Pro to MSS, all events are copied and saved in Events Da-

tabase.

Note that Events DB, unlike Control Panel’s Event Log, contains information not only

about system events, but also about user actions and MSS status. That is the reason for

discrepancy in events numbering between the Event Log and Events DB.

15.2 ANALYZING SYSTEM EVENT LOG FROM THE MONITOR INTERFACE

The Event Log of the MSS software is available for the Engineer, Operator and Techni-

cian.

1) Click Event Log icon from the toolbar

4) Click Report icon to create a report.

74

5) Click icon to create a list of events per shift

75

16 SYSTEM USERS

4 different types of users are supported by the system. Those are:

(simple) USER

OPERATOR

TECHNICIAN

ENGINEER

The difference between them consists in their system access permissions.

16.1 USER PERMISSIONS

partitions control by using PIN-codes, TM-keys and remote control in accordance

with authorities designated for each identifier and access rights assigned to specif-

ic readers in system settings

76

system status control on LSA alerters using remote controls

This activates an inquiry to those logical partitions that this remote control as-

signed to.

In case the light channel of LSA alerter is assigned to these partitions, it will light

up for 10 seconds as follows:

2) An Operator can control partitions with the buttons of Astra-863 ver.B/BE indication

panels. To make it possible:

Operator should have a TM key with the permissions to control certain partitions

TM reader connected to an indication panel should be assigned to this TM key as

well as to the same partitions.

For partition control an Operator should apply the TM key to the reader of the indi-

cation panel, then press certain button on the panel, and then apply the TM key

once again within 30 sec to confirm the command. If more than 30 seconds have

passed after the last button has been pressed, the command is cancelled automat-

ically.

3) An Operator has permissions to monitor or control logical partitions and alerting

sub-system from HKP Astra-814 Pro and WKP Astra-8145 Pro menu in accord-

ance with his PIN permissions (for details see HKP/WKP Operation Manual).

16.3 TECHNICIAN PERMISSIONS

1) Technician’s permissions are defined by the Engineer to perform system mainte-

nance.

2) A Technician is allowed to request quality of radio communication from Wireless

devices tab of the MSS Monitor

82

as well as to perform individual or group tests of wireless smoke and heat detectors (see

Paragraph 10.2.3.)

3) A Technician is allowed to read system settings from SQL database using Setup

Module, but not to change them.

4) A Technician has permissions to monitor status of devices, control logical parti-

tions and alerting sub-system from HKP Astra-814 Pro or WKP Astra-8145 Pro

menu in accordance with his PIN permissions (for details see HKP/WKP Operation

Manual)

A Technician is allowed to monitor statuses of devices and partitions, view system failures

and analyze system event log.

A Technician is allowed to change settings of HKP and WKP (display contrast, buzzer

volume, active mode duration, display backlight duration)

Main tools are inactive

Communication levels

83

A Technician is allowed to correct Control Panel time/date provided the Control Panel is

not connected to a PC with System Core launched. In the last case time/date are syn-

chronized by the Core with PC time and date.

16.4 ENGINEER PERMISSIONS

An Engineer is not allowed to system control (arm/disarm).

An Engineer has only one PIN code.

1) An Engineer is allowed to login the MSS Setup Module to fully configure the sys-

tem.

2) An Engineer is allowed to login the MSS DB Manager to change settings of actual

databases or create new databases. (see paragraph 14)

3) An Engineer is allowed to login the MSS FW Update Module to update system

components (see Paragraph 13)

4) An Engineer is allowed to login the MSS Monitor Module for setting monitoring

features (see Section 9.2).

An Engineer can also change program settings of the Monitor module

There are only 2 program options that require brief explanation: IP address … and Net-

work port number ….

84

1. In «IP-address or computer name with System Core installed» field in network so-

lution changes are necessary only if the Monitor is installed on a PC where Core

is not installed. In case it is one and the same PC, the default value 127.0.0.1

should be used. The IP address or computer name are changed during MSS in-

stallation process (see «MSS Quick Installation Guide»), here you should only

check the value.

2. Running System Core on a PC connected with the Control Panel via USB leads to

automatic opening of the internal communication port 8945. With newer versions of

the System Core there will be the possibility to change the port number in order to

avoid collisions connected with the port occupancy. For this purpose the Monitor

Module already has the possibility to change port number in the "Number of the

network port on a computer running the system core:" field.

5) An Engineer is allowed to monitor status of devices and logical partitions, view sys-

tem failures and analyze system event log via WKP/HKP menu.

An Engineer, as well as a Technician, is allowed to change internal WKP/HKP settings

and correct system date/time provided the Control Panel is not connected to a PC with

System Core launched. In the last case time/date are synchronized by the Core with PC

time/date.

An Engineer is allowed also to login WKP Astra-8145 Pro or HKP Astra-814 Pro menu

with default Engineer PIN 123456 to hold the following tests^
