System Panels and Displayed
Item-Numbers
Beginning with V4.0 VEREX Director, you can use
the Configuration Wizard to set up a new system.
For details, refer to "New Installation? Try the
Wizard!"
System Panels
System panels, the core of each installation,
provide data storage, communication, and
other functions for all associated expansion
modules and related peripherals (doors,
sensors, etc.). An installation may pertain to a
single panel, or multiple panels in various
locations.
Reference Notes:
Panels per Account: Each account can include a total
of up to 60 system panels.
Multi-panel support depends on your software
licensing. For details, refer to "Software Activation and
Licensing".
There are numerous items that are set up for each
panel (in addition to the settings in this section). For
details, refer to the "Configuration" chapter in the table
of contents (at the front of this guide). The system
identifies each panel based on its serial number. This
is set in the "System Communication" screen. For
details, refer to Monitoring, Paging, & Remote Mgt.
