MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

Setting Communications to

AutoStart when an Operator Logs

In (Single-PC Systems)

The Auto-Start Communications Option

For a single-PC installation, you can have

operators asked during login if they want the

panel communications software to start

automatically.

Note:

This feature is available for systems that do

not

include client-server licensing. For a client-server

system, refer to "Client / Server Alternative" to follow.

(For details on software licensing, refer to "Software

Activation and Licensing".)

This streamlines the process of initiating a

panel connection to allow:

•

Updating changes to a panel;

•

Bringing the monitoring window up-to-date

(and the activity logs for reporting);

•

Checking status or controlling an item.

When started in this way, the operator will also be

asked (when logging out, or shutting down the

MONITOR AFx Director software) if they wish to shut

down the communications software as well.

Auto-Connect to Panel:

If an active / current

communications session is set to "Stay Connected" and

"AutoStart communications" is enabled, the software

will attempt to reconnect automatically when an

authorized operator logs in. For details on the "Stay

Connected" selection, refer to "Activating

Communications and Transferring Panel Settings",

previous / above.

Enabling the Auto-Start Feature

Open the

Tools

menu, and select

Options

Then, ensure

Prompt to AutoStart/Stop

Communication to the Panel

is selected, and

click

Note:

If "Options" is not available in the "

iew" menu,

this means that your MONITOR AFx Director software

version/licensing supports client-server operation. (See

"Client/Server Alternative", to follow.)

Selecting (or Testing) the Auto-Start

Option During Login

With "Prompt to AutoStart..." enabled:

•

Exit from the software (open the

File

menu,

select

Exit

, and respond to any additional

prompts that appear);

•

Restart MONITOR AFx Director, and

perform a 'login';

•

Respond with

Yes

when asked if you want to

Auto-Start the communications software.

You should now be able to initiate a panel

connection (as described previously / above).

Tip:

If an active communications session had been set

to "Stay Connected", the software will typically attempt

to reconnect automatically.

Client / Server Alternative

In a client-server system, panels can connect

through any MONITOR AFx Director

workstation. As such, there is no way to start

communications when an operator logs in.

To ensure the 'server' and 'communications'

software is available in a multi-PC system, you

can create 'Shortcuts' to these files, and place

them under "C:\Windows\Start Menu\

Programs\

Startup

" on each applicable PC.

The "MONITOR AFx Director-Server.exe" file, and

"MONITOR AFx Director-Communication.exe" file can

typically be found under C:\Program Files\MONITOR

AFx Director V4.

(Right-click the file, select

"Send To"

, and then

Desktop (Create Shortcut)"

. Then, go to the

Windows desktop, locate the shortcut, and position

and rename it as desired.)

Tip:

The communications software can also be started

manually at any time (on the specific PC): From the

Start

menu, select

Programs

MONITOR AFx Director

, and

MONITOR AFx Director-Communication
