Editor for more information.)
Adding Panels to a Database
The information in this section is based on the assumption that you have a working
knowledge of Navigator and have used its other capabilities. If not, please refer to the CCS
Navigator User Guide and familiarize yourself with its functions before you continue the
Add process.
Magellan control panels can be added to a routing system via Navigator. In order to monitor
the panel, however, it must be associated with a routing system created in Navigator. Actual
panel configuration is performed via a web-based software configuration tool that is
resident on the physical panel.
Using a Navigator Database
The information below provides you the different methods by which you can add Magellan
panels to a Navigator database. It does not go into detail about any of these methods or
about other aspects of editing a panel. For more information on editing panels in Navigator,
please refer to Volume 6 of the CCS Navigator User Guide. You can download a copy of
the most current edition from our website.
To add a Magellan control panel via one of the options described on page 25, you must use
Navigator v.4.6.1 or higher.
Linking to the Database
1 Make sure that Navigator v.4.6.1 is installed on your PC.
2 Connect power to the control panel power connector, and then power up the panel.
3 Start up Navigator on the PC. The main window opens.
Adding Panels by Polling
The Poll option is used to query the control system for any programmable devices that may
be present in the system. Polling obtains information about the current configuration of
each physical device, and compares it to the information found in the database to
determine if the database information matches the actual configuration.
Adding Panels by Discovering
The Discovery option is a quick way to search the control system for any programmable
devices that may be present in the system. Unlike the Polling option, the Discovery option
does not obtain information about current configurations; however, it allows you to select
discovered devices to add to the device list. You can then use the application software’s
editing capabilities to configure the device.
When using the Poll or Discover option, ensure that each panel has been assigned a unique
device ID and IP address. This can avoid database or panel configuration errors caused by
device’s ID or IP conflict.
