Alarm Input/Output 
 
Alarm input and alarm output ports are used for alarm action purposes, and although each 
has a specific function, both are configured within this section.   
 
Each encoder supplies 8 ports – 4 are input ports, 4 are output ports.  Because of this, 4 
consecutive IDs must be configured with the same directional type - either input or output.  
For example, if ID 1 is configured as an input port, then IDs 2-4 must be input ports as 
well. 
 
Then, port 5...

Monitors 
 
Monitors are generally viewed within MPU955 Admin Console by ID number, but can be 
viewed by area\local number, since the user will operate the NSS by selecting a monitor 
by local number within a specific area.   
 
Area\local numbers are displayed in MPU955 Admin Console as one whole number.  The 
four right-most digits represent the local number and the left-most one or two digits will 
represent the area.  For example, 10034 represents area 1 and local number 34,...

When deleting or modifying a monitor, be sure to check the Other tab to find 
references to other sections that the monitor will influence. 
 
When changing the Monitor Surveillance Area (MSA) of a monitor, make 
sure that any affected presets or alarm action target assignments are within the 
same area. 
 
 
Deleting a monitor will automatically delete the referenced 
permissions, but will not
 change any other references, such as 
sequences, presets, etc.

Operators  
 
Class Setup 
 
An operator is one who accesses the system via a system controller, selects resources, and 
controls selected system resources, such as cameras, monitors, sequences, etc. 
 
Before an operator can be defined, an operator class needs to be created. 
 
An operator class defines which functions an operator or groups of operators have 
privileges to perform.

3.  Choose the privileges to grant the class by checking the boxes to the left of 
the desired privileges 
 
Be careful when assigning the CAM Lock privilege. When an 
operator uses CAM Lock, every
 camera in the system is locked.  
Other users can select cameras normally, but cannot control them. 
 
Operators with the CAM Lock Override privilege can override locked 
cameras on a camera-by-camera basis, as determined by priorities.
