7. Comfigurator • File > New to create a new file • Select Template Comfort II Ultra • Status bar shows file system and Vocabulary • File System 34 for Ultra (31 for Optimum) • Make sure you get this RIGHT!. Most problems encountered by first time users are because of this To change the default template selection, go to menu Options > Default Template

9. Connection Settings • Menu Options > Settings • In UCM Settings, select Serial (RS232), Network (Ethernet) or USB depending on what UCM you have

10. Connection Settings - Serial • For UCM05 with RS232, select COM Port. • Make sure you select the correct COM port!

11. Connection Settings - Network • For Network, enter IP Address and Port of UCM/Ethernet (set by DS Manager)

12. Connection Settings - USB • For UCM/USB(new), when you plug in the USB connector to the PC, it will be automatically detected and driver installed. • When USB is selected, the Serial Number is displayed. If there is nore than 1 UCM/USB, they can be selected in the drop-down box. If there is no serial number seen that means there is no valid USB connection found.

13. Options > Settings – other settings • Auto-recovery Save Interval – for automatic backup • Optimize Responses – best to avoid • Toolbar – select which icons appear on the toolbar

14. Modules and Settings • Configuration > Modules and Settings • Enter the appropriate numbers of Keypads, Door Stations, Slaves, UCMs, SCS/RIO • The Module ID shunts must be unique for each type of ID, must not conflict with other devices of the same type

15. Modules and Settings • Configuration Flags are miscellaneous System Settings • After downloading changes in Configuration flags, Reset is needed if not doing a full download

16. Configuration Flags (I) • Wait for Dial Tone – uncheck if dial tone is absent from phone line. Normally checked • Ignore Line Cut – check if phone line not connected. Local phone access to Comfort and to door station will not work • Allow Force Arm – uncheck if Force Arm is not permitted in system • Siren Reverse – check for self actuated (SAB) sirens, ie remove siren supply to turn on siren • Local Phone Voltage from Ringer – Not Used

17. Configuration Flags (II) • Seize Line for Idle Dialouts- Normally Comfort does not cut off local phones when dialing out for Idle alarms eg Arm & disarm. Check if idle alarms should cut off local phones so dialout cannot be interrupted • Disable Arming Voice on Door Station – uncheck if open zones to be announced on the Door Station while arming. This allows user to hear if system is armed successfully • Repeat Last Zone on Keypads – During alarm, the last zone triggered keeps announcing on all keypads except while dialing out

18. Configuration Flags (III) • Call Screening on Keypad – while recording messages from callers, the caller voice is heard on Keypad 1. User can answer call and stop recording message • Answering Machine Bypass – To bypass fax machines and external answer machines on the same phone line. User calls home, hangs up after 1 ring. Call again after 10 to 25 seconds. Comfort will answer imemdiately • Hear Announcements on Phone – While using the phone, announcements including door station announcement can be heard • Show Alarms – For European standard EN50131 only. • Entry Dial Delay – For European standard EN50131 only.

19. Configuration Flags (IV) • Allow Low Battery Arm – Normally Low Battery or NO battery prevents system from Arming. Check box to permit arming with no or low battery. Uncheck for EN50131/PD6662 compliance • Require Engineer Code to Write.. Check to require Engineer Code login (default 6789) before Write to Comfort (protection against users) This means F0 on keypad is required before engineer code • Detect Battery Disconnected. Low Battery alarm if battery not connected. Check for EN50131/PD6662
