You can add input pins to your maps to allow Security Desk operators to monitor the states of
input pins from maps.
Before you begin
-
Create the map where you want to add
your input pins.
- Make sure you have input pin in your Security Center system.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Map designer
task.
-
Select a recent map or click Browse all maps to open an
existing map.
The selected map fills the Map designer
workspace.
-
In the toolbar, click I/Os (), select the input pin () you want to add, and drag it to where you
want it to be on the map.
The widgets for configuring the
map object appear in the right panel. The map object always takes on the identity of the
entity that it represents.
-
In the Identity widget, click Show
states, and then assign colors for the different input
states.
Tip: To avoid cluttering
the map, you can hide the map object when the entity is found in certain
states. Clear the states that you want to hide.
NOTE: If you use the default input icon (
), the map object is shown as a colored LED (
). If you change the icon, then the map object is
represented by the icon you selected with a small LED icon superimposed on
top.
When the input state changes, the map object changes to the color
configured for that state, or is hidden.
-
In the Map designer toolbar, click
Save ().
