Diagnose comm faults
Select Diagnose comm faults to troubleshoot network communication errors on the MX loops. A
transponder display will be shown for the loop. Communications status is indicated by color: OK is light
green, magenta indicates fail. Dark green indicates good comms to a device that has not been defined, or
for a Silver loop device that is defined incorrectly. Light blue indicates fail to transponder which has not
been assigned in the MX database. The fiber and Silver loop transponder display will additionally show
both A and B comm path states.
Save/restore config
Use the Save/Restore config function to:
•
Save configuration - backup the MX-7000 configuration settings to a USB storage device,
•
Restore configuration - load a saved MX-7000 configuration from a USB storage device,
•
Erase configuration - reset the MX-7000 configuration to its default settings,
•
Print configuration
– configuration settings will be sent to the printer to make a hardcopy
1. Select Save/restore configuration and follow the onscreen prompts.
Restart MX-7000
Use the Restart MX-7000 function to reboot the MX-7000. Rebooting the MX-7000 clears the temporary
memory and provides a fresh start.
1. Select the Restart MX-7000 function and follow the onscreen prompts.
NOTE: Pressing the reset switch on the rear panel also restarts the MX-7000 (see Figure 24).
Get ARKS data
This function allows you to save the MX-7000 Alarm Record Keeping System data to a USB storage
device. The data can then be accessed and reviewed on a PC which runs the ARKS software.
1. Select Get ARKS data.
2. Use the arrows to specify the date range for the data being saved (Month and Year).
3. Follow the onscreen prompts to save the ARKS data to USB storage device.
EDAPT Settings
The MX-7000 Environmentally Derived Adaptive Processing Technique (EDAPT) enables the system to
evaluate data from all EDAPT capable and enabled processors when making zone alarm decisions. With
EDAPT the MX-7000 learns multi-zone environment patterns to discriminate between weather and
environmental effects, which affect all zones, and a genuine intrusion, which affects a single zone.
EDAPT settings are for advanced users such as factory technicians. Although listed here the EDAPT
parameter definitions are beyond the scope of this manual.
EDAPT parameters, ranges and defaults:
1. Count History Period in seconds (1 to 30, 30).
2. Count Threshold Factor (1 to 60, 48).
3. Count Exceeded Zones Required (1 to 6, 3).
4. Correlations Clean Timeout in hours (1 to 60, 24).
5. Correlations Repeat Limit (1 to 30, 10).
6. Relations Expire Timeout in days (1 to 60, 60).
