12. Commissioning
12.5 Retrieving Panel Configuration
The xDetect system allows xDetectWorks to download the configuration from any
panel on the network. Once the configuration is retrieved, the user can alter the
configuration as they see fit. When ready, the user can then return the configuration
back into the required panels.
12.5.1 Retrieving a Panel’s Configuration
You can retrieve a single panel’s configuration by following these steps: -
1. Open the site file or create a new site as described above.
2. Ensure the panel has been auto-learned or previously commissioned.
Refer to panel documentation if required. This is essential as any panel
added to xDetectWorks needs to contain all the correct modules
and devices - these can only come from the panel.
3. Connect the USB port on the computer to the Micro USB port on the panel.
(See Figure 22 on page 31)
4. Accessing the panel menu system, ensure the panel is in a state to accept
the PC connection. Please refer to panel documentation on how to
achieve this.
5. Within xDetectWorks select the network element in the tree view, then click
on the Download from Panel on the button bar. If the panel was previously
downloaded, you can click on the panel element in the tree view directly and
then click Download from Panel.
6. You will be prompted for the password or pin-code. Please enter the correct
password or pin-code that is pre-configured into the connected panel.
7. If you have more than one com port available, you will be prompted to
select the connection. If you only have one com port available, then software
automatically assumes that is the correct connection.
8. When the transfer begins, it will open a transfer window that tracks the
progress of the files being received over USB. Please note it may take some
time to receive all the data.
