Figure 2-22. Attributes Key

a. Attributes [ATTRS] Key. The attributes [ATTRS] soft-key (Figure 2-22) provides the options for changing the

attributes which are held within the system database for each RADC and point. It can be used to: disable an RADC's

cable(s); prevent the system from acquiring RADC(s) or point(s) data; inhibit the generation of alarms; prevent automatic

and/or manual controls from being undertaken; and change the value/state of a point. The key also provides access to a

range of optional features which relate directly to security. Where available, these can be used to:

(1) Restrict access into/out of a security zone.

(2) Display a card holder profile.

(3) Send card holders personal and global messages.

(4) Create and modify access level specifications.

When you press the [ATTRS] key, the system displays the prompt "Group" and also offers the soft-key options listed

below. Either change the attributes of an RADC or point using the procedures described below or select a key from the

menu.

[ZONE]

[CARD]

[GLOBAL]

[ACCLEV]

b. Changing the Attributes of an RADC or Point. To change the attributes of an RADC or a point, you must first

identify the RADC/point required. The quickest way to do this is by the cursor option. If one of the current displays

contains the reference to the RADC/point, position the cursor on the reference and press [GO]. If the command input

frame is used, respond to the Group prompt by entering the RADC's group name or number and follow this by pressing

[NEXT]. Enter the RADC's name or number and press [GO] or [NEXT].

(1) Pressing [GO] allows you to change the attributes of the selected RADC and [NEXT] leads to the first of the

three point mnemonic prompts, "Prefix, Numeric, and Suffix". In response to each of these prompts, enter the details

requested and press [NEXT] or, in the case of Suffix only, [GO].

(2) When you have identified the RADC/point, the system shows the attributes display. The display contains the

name of the RADC/point selected and, in the case of an analog point, the values associated with the upper and lower

limit bands.

(a) The Attribute column lists the various attributes of the RADC/point.
