□ | Signal Processing Order: The following list describes how SPA and MKMSCS attempt to validate an Alarm ( Event, Test, Restoral) Signal before declaring it an Invalid Alarm. |
► | Note: A word of caution is required here if your Central Station has Subscribers that are reporting Areas within their Signals. |
Unless each Subscriber's Area(s) are defined in the Areas Form associated with that Subscriber, the correct description of that Area, when received, cannot be displayed for the Operator.
• | Perfect Match - Initially SPA searches for a Perfect Match (in the order listed below) and, if the Perfect Match is found, that Signal is processed appropriately. |
1. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found, |
2. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found, |
3. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found, |
4. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found, |
5. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card, and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found, |
6. | Perfect Match of CSID Zone with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card, and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found, |
7. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found, |
8. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found, |
9. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found, |
10. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found, |
11. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E13_", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found, |
12. | Perfect Match of Panel Zone with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found, |
• | Mixed Match - Subsequently, if no Perfect Match case is found, SPA searches for a Mixed Match (in the order listed below) and, if the Mixed Match is found, that Signal is processed as described below: |
1. | Mixed Match of CSID Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found, |
2. | Mixed Match of CSID Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found, |
3. | Mixed Match of Panel Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found, |
4. | Mixed Match of Panel Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If none found, the Alarm Signal is reported as an Invalid Alarm. |
• | If a Signal Identifier is located: Once the Signal Identifier (SI) is found, SPA attempts to locate the appropriate Physical Zone (PZ) Description information in the following order: |
1. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) with an Area (A) identified in the CSID Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001", A = "1") - The Description information from the CSID Zone Override table is used. If not found, |
2. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the CSID Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the CSID Zone Override table is used. If not found, |
3. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the CSID Zone table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the CSID Zones table is used. If not found, |
4. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) with an Area (A) identified in the Panel Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001", A = "1") - The Description information from the Panel Zone Override table is used. If not found, |
5. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the Panel Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the Panel Zone Override table is used. If not found, |
6. | Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the Panel Zone table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the Panel Zones table is used. If none found, the Alarm Signal is reported as an Invalid Alarm. |
