Admin Console    INSTALLATION
9Admin Console    INSTALLATION
Part of installing the Admin Console means copying program files from
either a CD-ROM or a set of floppy diskettes onto the hard drive of a
dedicated PC.  The Admin Console is a tool that allows an administrator
to configure the SCS (Surveillance Control System) with information
compiled about components and users, and to use well-planned presets
and sequences.

Admin Console    CONFIGURATION
11Admin Console    CONFIGURATION
The tasks covered in the Installation section, beginning on page 9,
must be completed before attempting to configure the Admin
Console.
The Admin Console configuration is a three-step process:
¤ Mark copies of drawings of the facility under
surveillance.
¤ Fill in the appropriate worksheets provided at the end
of this manual.  (This will result in a survey of all the
components in your system, and how they interact with
one another.)
¤ Enter...

However, if the system is more complex, it is best to gather and write
down the information needed for the initial configuration of Admin
Console.
If settings need to be modified or updated in the future because of a
change in surveillance needs, or changes made in the components of the
system, the worksheets can be used to track past, current, and to-be
configurations.  The worksheets make it very easy to do this, regardless of
the size of your system.
As with any system configuration, it is wise to...

Scheduled Modes
If the Scheduled Modes check box is selected on the CPU System
Configuration window’s “Size” tab, an administrator can configure up to
four different modes of operation that can then be scheduled to become
active as desired.  The configuration of these modes are programmed, or
set by an administrator during the configuration of the system’s
components through Admin Console.
