4.3.3 Configuration data (IP, e-mail, RSS)<br />

Configuration data<br />

The panel can be configured using the PC Client software. This means that the settings for the<br />

e-mail mailboxes and RSS newsfeeds can only be edited in the PC Client software. This gives<br />

the end user the option of easy adjustment of the sources of their e-mails and RSS newsfeeds<br />

on the PC, without the need to access the ETS. In addition, in contrast to direct adjustment by<br />

touch operation, the IP communication parameters of the panel can also be configured in the<br />

PC Client software.<br />

The configuration parameters are available in the "Settings" menu of the PC Client software as<br />

soon as a project has been created or opened.<br />

There are two basic methods of setting the configuration data in the PC Client software. On the<br />

one hand it is possible to enter the IP parameters, the e-mail mailboxes and the RSS newsfeeds<br />

directly into the input screen of the PC Client software and then program them into the<br />

panel. This procedure is recommended for first project planning of a panel. In this case, any<br />

configuration data in the panel are completely overwritten.<br />

Alternatively, the configuration data currently stored in the panel can be read out and then edited<br />

or added to, before the data is programmed back into the panel. This procedure is advisable<br />

when a panel with valid data has been commissioned and additions or corrections to the<br />

configuration data are required. In this case, the existing data can remain in the panel.<br />

Loading configuration data out of the device<br />

If, in the "Settings" menu, the "Load configuration data from device" item is opened, the PC Client<br />

software sets up an IP connection to the panel. The communication parameters defined in<br />

the device connection settings are used. During the connection, the software reads out all the<br />

configuration data of the panel (IP parameters, e-mail mailboxes, RSS newsfeeds) and transfers<br />

this data to the appropriate input screens. Then the data can be viewed and edited or added<br />

to (see next sections). The data is empty and partially preinitialised if a panel is read out,<br />

which does not yet possess any valid configuration data.<br />

i For the PC Client software to read out the configuration data successfully, the device connection<br />

settings (IP address of the panel and the communication port) must be set correctly<br />

(see section "Device connection settings"). In addition, it is necessary to switch on the panel<br />

and connect it to the network. Should these preconditions not be complied with, it is not<br />

possible to read out the configuration data and the PC Client software cancels the operation<br />

with an error message.<br />

During a read-out operation, the communication status is displayed in colour on the bottom<br />

edge of the PC Client software window.<br />

IP parameters<br />

Basic principles<br />

The panel communicates with the PC Client software via the Ethernet interface per TCP/IP<br />

(Transport <strong>Control</strong> Protocol – Internet Protocol). For this communication protocol to work correctly,<br />

the IP settings of the panel must be correctly planned. IP settings can either be configured<br />

directly on the panel or using the PC Client software. This configuration can be carried<br />

out by opening the "IP" item in the "Settings" menu.<br />

The following settings are possible...<br />

IP address:<br />

Each subscriber in a network (LAN, WAN) has their own unique IP address. This Internet address<br />

is a 32 bit value, always specified in the form of four decimal numbers separated by dots<br />
