2 Introductory Notes

2.1 Purpose of the Manual The Trombone Fire and Security Alarm Integration Module Setup and Operation Manual provides

comprehensive setup and operational guidance for Trombone module operators.

The module itself is a part of the Axxon Soft fire and security alarm sybsystem.

The Manual includes:

1. Trombone module overview;

2. Setup guide;

3. Operation guide.

2.2 Purpose of Axxon Soft Intellect Fire and Security Alarm Subsystem The Axxon Soft Intellect fire and security alarm subsystem has been designed for:

1. Processing data collected from fire/alarm panels, sensing devices and other annunciators.

2. Automated control of executive devices, such as audio and visual notifiers (sounders and LEDs),

gate bars and turnstiles, etc.

Fire and security alarm subsystem consists of hard- and software components. In larger subsystems, a

third party alarm subsystem operates as a hardware component integrated into Axxon Soft system. The

software component consists of Integration Modules responsible for successful interaction between the

security system and hardware.

2.3 Trombone Integration Module Overview Being a part of fire and security alarm subsystem, the Trombone Integration Module has been designed

to manage alarms.

Note: Details on Trombone Fire and Security Alarm system (FSA) can be found in its manuals

(manufacturer: OOO OPTECH, Russia)

Before setting up the Trombone Integration Module, you need to do the following:

1. Install all the needed equipment;

2. Configure all hardware components according to their reference manuals;

3. Connect the Trombone FSA to the system server PC.

3 Setting up Trombone Integration Module

3.1 Setup 1. Set up the connection between the system and the Trombone Fire and Security Alarm system

(Trombone FSA).

2. Read the configuration parameters from the Trombone-CP8 device.

3.2 Setting Up Connection Axxon Soft system provides Trombone FSA connection setup by means of a dedicated settings panel for

a SGPS Trombone object. This object is created on the basis of the parent Computer object (the

Hardware tab in the System settings window) (See Fig. 3.2—1).

Fig. 3.2—1 Creating a SGPS Trombone object

To set up the connection, you should do the following::

1. In the SGPS Trombone object settings window, use the up/down arrows to specify a COM port

used for linking the subsystem to the server (See Fig. 3.2—2).

Fig. 3.2—2 Setting up the connection

2. Using the SGPS Trombone as a parent, create a child object Trombone CP-8.

Click the newly created object's name to open its settings panel (See Fig. 3.2—3).

6

3. Enter the address of Trombone-CP8 device (See Fig. 3.2—3).

4. Click Apply.

After connection setup is completed, several child objects will be automatically created under the

Trombone-CP8 object, each reflecting an actual executive device within Trombone FSA. Any manually

created extra objects will be ignored by the system (See Fig. 3.2—4).

Note: If you occasionally remove an actual child object, you will have to add it back manually, otherwise

its physical counterpart (a hardware component) will be ignored by the system.

Now, the connection setup is finished.

3.3 Reading Trombone-CP8 Device Configuration To download the Trombone-CP8 device configuration parameters set, you should:

1. Click the newly created object's name to open its settings panel (See Fig. 3.3—1).

7

2. Click Read Info (See Fig. 3.3—1, 1).

After downloading the parameter set from the device, the Name and Version fields will be updated (See

Fig. 3.3—1, 2 and Fig. 3.3—1, 3).

You have successfully read Trombone-CP8 device configuration.

4 Trombone Integration Module Operation

4.1 Trombone Integration Module Basics The following UI objects are used to operate the Integration Module:

1. Map;

2. Events journal.

Detailed instructions on setting up the Map and Events Journal UI objects can be found in the Axxon

Soft Intellect Software Package documentation: Administrator Manual.

Also please refer to the Axxon Soft Intellect Software Package documentation: Operator Manual for

detailed instructions on how to handle these and other system objects.

4.2 Handling Trombone-CP8 Device You can handle the Trombone-CP8 device via the Map interactive window and the Trombone-CP8

object menu (See Fig. 4.2—1 and Tab. 4.2—1).
