 2.0 C-Linx PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

2.1 UNDERSTANDING CYBERCAT 50

The CyberCat 50 system is equipped with an extensive list of configuration parameters. Changes to these
parameters can be made either directly at the panel using its integral configuration menus, or by using the
system’s PC configuration software C-Linx. Not all of the system operating parameters can be set using the
panel’s configuration menus. Section 4.0 of this manual provides a complete description of the configuration
parameters that can changed at the panel.
To set all operating parameters for the system, you must use the panel’s PC programming software C-Linx.
Section 2.2 provides a complete listing of the programming features that are available through C-Linx for your
reference. Refer to Fike document 06-448, “C-Linx Configuration Software” for software details.
It is important to keep in mind that any changes made to the system configuration directly through the panel’s
configuration menus will only be stored within the panel’s on-board memory. To retain a back-up copy of the
system programming, you should download the latest configuration settings from the panel each time you
service the system.

Notes:
1. An audible signal that has been silenced at the protected premises shall automatically resound and remain energized until
silenced and retransmit the signal to any supervising station to which the original signal was transmitted, as applicable, at least
once every 24 hours until the condition is corrected and the product is restored to the normal supervisory condition.
2. If synchronization is selected, both NAC circuits will use the same sync protocol.
3. Refer to Fike document 06-186 for compatible notification appliances.
4. Only allows the installer to assign the night time sensitivity to a different obscuration level than during normal working hours.
No other functions are affected or disabled.
5. Allows on board relays to be configured from the default setting of Alarm for R1 and Supervisory for R2 to the states listed in
State (Activation).

Notes:
1. Peripheral device must be added to the Peripherals list before these configuration options are available.
2. This command contains status for Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble and all other states. Peripheral devices that have firmware
version before 3.00 should set this variable to STD, which is the original CyberCat format. The ESP selection refers to an
“Expanded” format. Peripheral devices with 3.00 firmware or newer will used this command. The EXP setting speeds up
operation of the peripheral bus.
3. If set to COMPACT, a message filter within the panel is used to prevent transmission of certain history record events, including
the NEW DEVICE history messages. This is done so that the peripherals do not display messages that are not required. If set
to VERBOSE, all history messages are transmitted.
4. HISTORY PACKING refers to how many history records are transmitted back-to-back with minimum time in between. If set to
UNPACKED, history records are sent one at a time. If set to PACKED, up to 50 history records are sent back-to-back. This
will speed up transmission of large amounts of history data.
5. HISTORY MESSAGE refers to what kind of data is packed into the history command. If set to STD (standard), data is packed
as with previous versions. If set to EXP (expanded), both lines 1 and 2 of the history data as shown on the LCD of the panel is
packed into the history command.

3.2 PASSWORD PROTECTION

Access to the CyberCat 50 system’s control and function switches are restricted by the enclosure door. With
the door closed and locked, responding personnel can only view system events on the panel display and use
the accessible EVENT STEP keys to filter through the systems event history. Opening the enclosure door
provides access to the systems Control and Function keys, which allows greater system operation
capabilities. With the enclosure door open, responding personnel have the ability to Silence or Acknowledge
system events, initiate Drill commands and Reset the system. In addition, the system operator has limited
access to the systems menus and features without needing to enter a system password.
Access to the CyberCat 50’s menu system is password protected to restrict access to those who require it.
Each CyberCat 50 allows up to eight (8) User level passwords and a single System Administrator password to
be assigned by the system installer. The available security access levels are described as follows:

3.3 CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM

There are two basic methods for configuring the CyberCat 50 system: AUTOPROGRAM or ENGINEERED
CONFIGURE.

3.3.1 AUTOPROGRAM
This configuration method is used for small systems requiring typically no more than one zone of operation.
This method allows you to connect all unaddressed devices to the panels SLC circuits and by using panel’s
AUTO ADDRESSING function, each device is randomly addressed in the order that they are recognized by
the panel. The panel’s LEARN function is then used to upload the default configuration held by each device
into the panel. Each device (inputs and outputs) is assigned to Zone 1 by default. At this point, the panel
configuration menus can be used to make simple changes to the system/device configurations. For more
extensive configuration changes, you should use the C-Linx configuration software to create a configuration
template, make necessary changes, and upload the modified configuration back into the control panel.

LNote: The drawback to using the AUTOPROGRAMMING method is that the devices are randomly
addressed; therefore, you must document the actual location of each device during the functional testing
of the system. If any device was missed, you must manually add it into the configuration.

3.3.2 ENGINEERED CONFIGURE

This configuration method is used for larger more complex systems requiring multiple zones of operation. In
this arrangement, a Fire Alarm designer creates installation documents for the project that identifies the
required location and address of each addressable device. The installer then installs and addresses each
device according to the installation documents. The following sections outline the different methods that can
be used to address each device.

 3.0 GETTING STARTED

3.4 HOW TO ADDRESS A DEVICE

Each addressable device is shipped from the factory defaulted to Loop 0, Address 0. This address must be
changed to suit the project requirements. There are several different ways of assigning addresses to a field
device. A general description of each addressing method is described below. Any combination of these
methods can be used to successfully address the field devices to match your project requirements.

3.4.1 HOW TO AUTO ADDRESS FIELD DEVICES (AUTO A)

This method allows you to take all field devices straight out of the box and connect them to the panel’s
signaling line circuit (SLC) without addressing the devices first. The Auto Addressing (AUTO A) function
when activated, allows the panel to identify all new addressable devices (Loop 0, Address 0) connected to the
SLC circuit. As each new device is recognized by the panel, it is automatically assigned the next available
address.

To Auto Address devices:

1. Press the ESCAPE key until the CyberCat 50’s TOP LEVEL MENU is displayed.
2. Press the F4 key to enter the systems PASSWORD entry screen, and then enter a valid Level 3
password.
3. Press the ESCAPE key to return to the TOP LEVEL MENU.
4. Press the F1 key to enter the systems CONFIGURATION MENU 1, and then press the F6 key four times
until the CONFIGURATION MENU 5 screen is displayed.
5. Press the F2 key to enter the AUTO ADDRESSING screen.

to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys to toggle the field (ON/OFF).
• Row B - This field allows you to select which addressable loops will be affected when Auto
Addressing is turned ON. Use the ◄► arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys
to toggle the field.
• Row C - This field allows you to select the address range that you would like to auto address. Use
the ◄► arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys to toggle the field.
• Row D - When you have the address range that you would like to have auto addressed, press the
ENTER key. Devices will NOT be addressed until it is added to the loop (NEW DEVICE record
identified) and the panel is reset.

The “Voice State Priorities” screen allows you to adjust the voice state priority levels of the panel when the
status of the voice system amplifiers and the messages they play are set by the following automatic fire alarm
functions: Alarm, Test Alarm, Supervision, and Process. When an input module or sensor activates one of
these states in a zone that is assigned to an amp, the state priority level must be higher than (1 being highest)
or equal to the priority set by an active voice switch (if one is active) for the amp to play the message
associated with these states. The same holds true for zones. The voice condition of the zone will be updated
only if the panel state priority is greater than or equal to the currently active priority.
From the “Voice Operations” screen, press the F2 key to access the “Voice States Priority” screen, as shown
below:

• Rows A thru D – Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the field; then press +/- to
change the field value (0 – 254). 1 = highest and 254 = lowest. A setting of 0 = priority level
disabled. Factory default value for each panel state is shown.

LNote: Any change made to the panel’s voice state priorities only affects the operation of the voice system.
It does not affect the normal operation of the CyberCat 50 system with regards to state priorities.
LNote: The CyberCat 50 system will NOT allow you to set the priority level for Alarm lower than the priority
level settings for Test Alarm, Supervision, and Process. Alarm must always be set a higher priority.
LNote: A panel event or input switch with a lower priority setting cannot override a panel event or input
switch with a higher priority. A panel event or input switch with the same or higher priority can override
another panel event or input switch with the same or a lower priority setting.

C. HOW TO CONFIGURE SPEAKER CIRCUITS FOR DUAL-CHANNEL OPERATION

The Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit Configuration screen allows you to assign each of the amplifiers speaker
circuits (1 – 4) to one or multiple panel zone(s). It also allows you to set whether the audio source to the
speaker circuit will be supplied by the internal message stored on the amplifier or supplied by the amplifier’s
external audio source input, which is fed by the interconnected amplifier.

LNote: This configuration screen is only used if you are using dual-channel amplifiers. Dual-channel
requires two amplifiers to be interconnected together to basically form one amplifier that is capable of
playing the EVAC or ALERT message through any of the eight available speaker circuits (four per amp).
By default, one amplifier is designated as the EVAC amp and the other as the ALERT amp.
From the “Amplifier Menu” screen, press the F3 key to access the “Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit
Configuration” screen, as shown below:

• Row B (EVAC/ALERT) – This field is used in conjunction with Row D to select the audio source for
the speaker circuit displayed in Row A. The field can be toggled between “EVAC” (evacuation) or
“ALERT” conditions.
• Row B (Zones) - This field allows you to select the 20 zone range (Zones 001-254) that is displayed
in Rows C & D.
• Row C – These numbers act as placeholders and zone number indicators for the range of zones
selected on Row B.
• Row D – The fields in Row D allow you to select the zones that will activate the speaker circuit
displayed in Row A (SPKR) and allow you to select the source of the audio message for the EVAC
or ALERT state indicated in Row B.
- = selected speaker circuit is not programmed for this zone
I = selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the amplifier’s internal
message
E = selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the audio message
supplied by the amplifier’s external audio input (interconnected amp)

Example: If the amplifier indicated in Row A is the EVAC amp and the EVAC/ALERT field in Row B
is set to EVAC, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should indicate “I” for internal. If the
EVAC/ALERT field in Row B is set to ALERT, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should
indicate “E” for external.

Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the specific field; then use the +/- keys to toggle the

the range in groups of 20 to display at one time. This will cycle through the 254 zones available on
the CyberCat 50.

LNote: Pressing the F5 key will select all zones and pressing the F6 key will deselect all zones.
• Row C - These numbers act as placeholders and zone number indicators for the range of zones
selected on Row B.

• Row D - This range of fields allows you to select the zones that the specific panel will react to.
Blank = will ignore events in this zone
Y = will react to events in this zone
Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the specific zone field; then use the +/- keys to
toggle to Y to participate and – to not participate. If a zone is not selected to participate, it will still
show up in History but does not act on the state indicated in that zone. Events from this panel are
still transmitted onto the network regardless of this setting. For example: A panel with a “–“ in the
Zone 3 field, will cause a panel with “Y” in the same field to react to that zone.

LNote: Zone 254 is the panel zone. Any states activated by zones 1 – 253 will generate the same
state in zone 254. In order to prevent the selected panel from reacting to a network panel event
while a respective hazard zone (1 – 253) is disabled, but still allow the panel to react on “Any
Zone”, you will need to specifically select zones 1 – 253 and leave Zone 254 not selected.

4.7.1.1 HOW TO CLEAR MONITORING PANEL’S IP ADDRESSES

A panel acting as a “Monitor” panel (i.e., panel that has received histories from other panels via the Ethernet
port) in an Ethernet network will request the current histories of all of the panels it is supervising should the
“Monitor” panel reset prior to the supervised panels returning to normal, with the following exception:

Exception: If the “Monitor” panel has none of these states active; Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, Pre-Alarm, or
Process, then the “Monitor” panel will not request histories from the panels it is supervising. If the
“Monitor” has any of these five states active prior to reset, then the “Monitor” will request a re-
send of the histories received via the Ethernet port.
