To establish a Subscriber as a Monitored Account, Central Station Data must be entered:

Once you have entered your Company's Subscribers, The Monitoring tab within the Edit View of the Subscribers Form is used to enter the information associated with Central Station Monitoring for this Subscriber

The basic Central Station Data section (see example in the illustration below) is filled in first.

 

HelpFilesSubscribersFormEditViewMonitoringTabCentralStationDataSection

Subscribers Form - Edit View - Monitoring tab - basic Central Station Data section

 

There are useful special Icons in the Monitoring tab Ribbon Menu:

1.Alarm History - The Alarm Signal History dialog provides the ability to look-up (and add to if necessary) the Signal History for a specific CSID

2.Get Agencies - Get Agencies (when installed) automatically assigns Police, Medical, and Fire Agencies based on the Subscriber's Address by creating (when needed) a Town Code record and adding it to the Subscriber record

3.Action Plans - Icon on the Ribbon Menu - This option displays the Action Plans Grid where any number of Action Plan + Alarm Condition combinations may be assigned to a Subscriber (or Dealer)

4.LLP Schedule - This option supports Adding, Modifying, and/or Deleting the Schedules assigned to the Subscriber

 

To enter an existing Subscriber's Central Station Data:

Open the Subscribers Form.

Retrieve (F2 Search) the appropriate Subscriber record.

Select the Edit View Icon on the Subscribers Form

Choose the Monitoring tab.

 

The Central Station Data section will be displayed.

Note: Certain rules apply to creating and deleting Central Station Data:

a.The Central Station Data information entered for the Subscriber may have any number of Subscriber Panels (and their related CSIDs) identified for that same Subscriber.

b.You cannot remove the Central Station Data information, or delete the Subscriber record if there are Subscriber Panels defined for the Subscriber.

c.However, the Subscriber may be taken Off Line, if necessary.

d.See the Deleting a Subscriber chapter for additional information.

 

Entering the Central Station Data required to set up this Account for Central Station Monitoring:

Basic Monitoring Information:

 

HelpFilesCentralStationData-BasicMonitoringInformation

Basic Monitoring data

 

Date Online - By default, the Date offered is Today.  

Use the Drop-Down Calendar/Date Entry field to reset that Date, if needed.

 

Note 1:  How to Automatically Activate an Account (set the Date Online) when their first Alarm Signal is Received

a)Normally, when entering/updating Subscriber information within the Monitoring tab of the Edit View of the Subscribers Form, the Date Online field must be populated with that Date.

 

HelpFilesCompanySettings-CS_DateOnLine_Allow_NULL

Company Settings - Central Station section - CS_DateOnLine_Allow_NULL option

 

b)However, if the CS_DateOnLine_Null option in Company Settings is set to True ("T"), a Date Online field entry is not required

c)Thereafter, when an Account which has not been activated (their Date Online field is blank) transmits their first Alarm Signal (which will automatically be inserted into their Alarm History Table), the system will update the Date Online field to Now (Now = Date and Time) in the Monitoring tab of the Edit View of the Subscribers Form  

d)It will also allow the Date Online field entry to be cleared (removed and/or updated) if that should become necessary.

 

Note 2: For those Companies who provide Monitoring Services for other Alarm Dealers and the the CS_DateOnLine_Null option in Company Settings is set to True ("T"):

a)A Dealer record should be created, and that Dealer should be assigned in the appropriate Subscriber in the Monitoring tab of the Edit View of the Subscribers Form  

b)Then, an RMR Dealer Billing entry with an empty Date to Start field may be created for this Subscriber  

c)When this Subscriber transmits their first Alarm Signal, the system will update the Subscriber's Date On Line field with the current Date & Time, and do the same to the Date to Start field for any corresponding RMR Dealer Billing entry(ies) for this Subscriber

d)If that Subscriber subsequently has an Off Line Date entered in the Monitoring tab of the Edit View of the Subscribers Form, any corresponding RMR Dealer Billing entry(ies) will have the Date to End field updated automatically (with Credits issued for any unearned monitoring related services, as needed)

 

Town Code - This code represents an abbreviation for a Municipality (or similar governmental entity) that provides Emergency Response Services when requested by an Operator  (while Processing an Alarm Signal) during a Dispatch procedure.

Use the Drop-Down Selection List, Choose the appropriate Town Code (responding authority) for this Subscriber.

Click the Ellipse to Add/Update existing Town Code records.

Optionally, if your Company has subscribed to the Precisely.com service, use the Get Agencies option to look-up and/or create the appropriate Town Code.

 

HelpFilesMonitoringTabNavigationMenuGetAgenciesIcon

Edit View - Monitoring Tab - Navigation Menu - Get Agencies Icon

 

Security Company - If this Subscriber has contracted for Response from an outside Security Company, use the Drop-Down Selection List to Choose that Security Company.

Using the Drop-Down Selection List, Choose the appropriate Security Company (special responding authority) for this Subscriber.

Click the Ellipse to Add/Update existing Security Company records.

 

Note: If the installation will be issued a UL® Alarm Certificate, also identify the UL Classification and enter the required Response Time (see "Other Special Settings" below).

 

Dealer - If this Account is being monitored by your Company's Central Station for another Alarm Dealer, use the Drop-Down Selection List to Choose that Dealer Name.

Click the Ellipse to Add/Update existing Dealer records.

 

Sub Dealer - This field may be populated by the system when required for the MKS Dealer Billing module.

 

Account Type - Each monitored Subscriber must be assigned an Account Type - which is a general classification of the type of monitored account this will be.

Using the Drop-Down Selection List provided, Choose the appropriate Account Type for this Subscriber.

Click the Ellipse to Add/Update existing Account Type records.

 

Note: Many governmental entities which provide Response Services to Alarm Signals require that each Alarm System installed within their jurisdiction has a Permit (and enforces this requirement by asking for that Permit Number prior to accepting an Operator's Dispatch request for that Subscriber).

a)The Town Codes Form contains a Police Department Permit and Fire Department Permit Check box that corresponds to the PD Permit # and FD Permit # fields below.

b)If a PD Permit and/or an FD Permit box is Checked in the Town Codes Form, those Subscribers assigned to that Town Code must have the corresponding Permit Number(s) entered - as described below.

 

PD Permit # - If the Operator is required by this Emergency Response Service to provide a Police Department Permit Number before a Dispatch request will be accepted, the required Permit Number must be entered in this PD Permit # field (see the Town Codes chapter for more information about Permit Requirements).

FD Permit # - If the Operator is required by this Emergency Response Service to provide a Fire Department Permit Number before a Dispatch request will be accepted, the required Permit Number must be entered in the FD Permit # field (see the Town Codes chapter for more information about Permit Requirements).

 

Note: The term "Password" and "Passcode" may be considered interchangeable terms throughout these Help Files.

 

Passcode - For identification purposes, enter the Password that the Subscriber will use to Verify their identity.

The Password entered may be up to 25 characters in length and contain numbers and letters.

Keep in mind that a Password will be communicated verbally and so should be entered as it would be "heard" by an Operator.

Duress - For identification purposes, enter a Duress code to be used by the Subscriber to indicate that this Subscriber (customer, employee, agent, etc.) is unable to verbally request the need for help because that person is communicating with an Operator while under duress.

The Duress code entered may be up to 25 characters in length and contain numbers and letters.

Keep in mind that a Duress code will be communicated verbally and so should be entered as it would be "heard" by an Operator.

O&C Supervised - Using the Drop-Down Selection List provided, Choose the appropriate option¬:

None - No Opening and/or Closing Events are Supervised.

Both - All Opening and Closing Events are Supervised.

Open - Only Opening Events are Supervised.

Close - Only Closing Events are Supervised.

 

Note: When any option other than None is chosen for O&C Supervised:

a)Any CSID Zone defined with an OCTAR definition of either Open or Close must have a corresponding Event defined; otherwise

b)An Invalid Alarm signal will be generated (by SPA) with either an IO* or IC* Alarm Condition Code.

 

¬ Implementation of this feature requires the following:

oSPA Version 1.0.28.497 or greater,

oMKSAlarmProcSvcs v.6.1.0.11 or greater

oMKSReceiverSvcs v.6.1.0.15 or greater.

 

Alarm Group - Use the Drop-Down Selection List to Choose their Alarm Group assignment.

Assigning an Alarm Processing Group classification that is different than the "Default" Alarm Group assures - when appropriate - that each Subscriber's Alarm Signals are routed to an Operator that:

1.Will better understand the type of system being monitored,  

2.Have the specialized skills needed to properly handle the signals,

3.Speaks the language that the person to which she/he is currently responding will also be speaking.

Click the Ellipse to Add/Update existing Alarm Group records.

 

Important Note!: It is very, very important (critical) to keep in mind that a Subscriber assigned to an Alarm (Processing) Group will not have their Active Signals processed unless at least one Operator - which has been assigned to that Alarm Group - is actively Processing Signals!  

oTherefore:

a)Until a specific requirement dictates otherwise, initially assign all Subscribers (in this Central Station Data Form) to the "Default" Alarm Group.

b)At a minimum, also assign all Employees, whose Employee Type is either All or Operator, to the same "Default" Alarm Group on the Alarm Groups tab of the Employee Form.

c)Any number of additional Alarm Group may then be assigned to each Operator, as the need arises, and the appropriate training has been completed.

 

Date Offline - If this Account is ever canceled, Click the Date Off Line button (see the mouse pointer in the illustration below).
