• Displays acknowledged and new events in separate lists.
• Visual and audible annunciation of events.
• Maintains a history of life safety events.
• Monitors the communications path between workstation and gateway.
• Annunciates a trouble event when communications with gateway is lost.
• Displays device location information.
• Acts as a time server for gateways on the life safety network.

• Add Node - Adds a node to the network. Select the node type from a list of choices and type in the IP address
of that node.
• Import Panel Database - Imports a Verifire Tools database. Any nodes and points that are in the database
will be autocreated on the network.

NOTE: The navigation tree may be a maximum of six levels deep including the Home screen.
The auto-creation process takes place each time a new point on the gateway reports an off-normal event to the
workstation. Point information is placed on a “holding screen” with a generic name (i.e., Screen 1) from which an
Administrator can relocate the point to its proper screen location using the Screen Objects window in the
configuration tool. Refer to the ONYXWorks Lite Configuration Tool Installation & Operation Manual (P/N 53508)
for additional information.
The auto-creation process creates a parent screen for the gateway reporting the event, a child screen for the node, and
a child screen under that for the points for that node (see Figure 5.2). Up to 64 point icons may be auto-created on a
workstation screen before another screen is created.
An asterisk (*) next to an entry indicates the entry and its name were auto-created and its position in the tree must be
redefined by an Administrator.

The Administrator organizes the navigation tree in such a manner that it will aid the user with locating a specific
event in a campus (site) or building. The navigation tree can be arranged in a parent-child hierarchical relationship so
a user can, in a logical progression, “drill-down” from a site view to the floor plan of a building on that site. The tree
also shows at what level of the hierarchy an event is occurring. When events occur, boxes appear at the left side of the
tree in the color corresponding to the highest priority event (see Figure 5.2).
Reorder Screens Left-click on the screen label in the navigation tree and drag and drop it to the desired
hierarchical level. Dropping between screen levels places the screen between those
levels. After screens are moved, navicons maintain their link to the screen.

off-normal event that is reported to the workstation. They are used to locate an event on parent or child screen; follow
the same colored navicon to find an event.

Item Description
Compact & Repair System Data This operation recovers dead space in the database, and reconstructs the index file.
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, do not perform this operation unless instructed to do so
by Technical Services.
Backup System Data Upon initiating this procedure, the user must select or create a folder (C:\Facilities
Monitoring 3.0\Backup is the default) and a “.dat” file that is used to identify the backup.
In most situations, it is most practical to back up the fire system database to the default
folder, using the same “.dat” file, after each editing session and then archive to a CD.
The workstation has a CD-RW drive.
CAUTION: If a second backup file is saved to an existing backup folder, both “.dat” files
remain, but the newer backup overwrites the data for the existing one. Do not save
backup system data to a folder which contains existing backup data that needs to be
saved.
Restore System Data This procedure is only available when all fire system applications, except PC Monitor,
are shut down.
This workstation command provides the Administrator with the option to restore a
database created with the Backup System Data command. The operation prompts the
user to select the location and folder in which the system data is to be stored.
Hide Column Temporarily hides the selected data column. The column itself is not deleted, only hidden.
Select Columns to Show Opens a dialog box that allows the user to select the columns that are displayed.
Show All Columns Removes all previously applied column data filters so that all columns display.
Resize Column Resizes the width of the selected column such that any hidden text is displayed.
Resize All Columns Resizes the width of all displayed columns such that any hidden text is displayed.
Sort Ascending/Descending Toggles between sorting the column data in ascending or descending order (numeric or
alphabetical).
Filter By Selection Allows the Administrator to display all records according to the event and column that was
right-clicked on.
Filter Excluding Selection Allows the Administrator to exclude displaying all records according to the event and the
column that was right-clicked on.
Filter For Displays a dialog box which allows the Administrator to filter for a specific word or phrase
using keywords and/or the wild card character (%).
Clear All Filters Allows the Administrator to return the History Manager window to the factory default filters.
Once this option has been chosen, all filters are lost unless they were saved using the “Save
Current Query” command.
Show If Greater Than Or Equal To Only displays when time-related data in a row is selected. Allows event filtering by the data in
the Received Time Local column. Only events occurring at the same time and after the
selected event are displayed.
Show If Less Than Or Equal To Only displays when time-related data in a row is selected. Allows event filtering by the data in
the Received Time Local column. Only events occurring at the same time and before the
