❑This Subscriber Panels section of the Monitoring tab allows you to define each Control Panel CSID which has been installed at the premises of the currently selected Subscriber.
Subscribers Form - Edit View - Monitoring tab - Subscriber Panels section
•Subscribers - for various reasons - may have more than one CSID assigned to their Account for the same premises.
✓This may be based on specific security requirements, the need for system segmentation (which may be called Partitions or Areas) to allow separate Opening & Closing Events supervision, or any other business related requirements.
✓Typically, these individual sections of the segmented systems are referred to as Partitions or Areas contained within the whole security system, but there may actually be completely separate Control Panels installed on the premises (e.g., Fire & Sprinkler Alarm System, a Burglar Alarm System, a dedicated Safe Alarm).
•Regardless of the reason, any number of CSIDs may be assigned to (installed at) a Subscriber's premises, as may be required.
❖Understanding the likeness, and the differences between a CSID, a Subscriber, and an Account:
✓CSID - The term "CSID" refers specifically to the Number/Letter combination (i.e., Account Number) assigned by the Central Station that represents the Identification Code programmed into a Communicator within a Security System - with that Identification Code representing any of the following:
a)the whole Security System
b)a Segment of it, or
c)a different Security System installed at the same Premises
✓Subscriber - The Terms "Account" and "Subscriber" may be used interchangeably -
a)both represent the Premises in which one or more Security Systems have been installed, and/or
b)the Person or Business who is billed for the provided monitoring services.
✓Account - Therefore, a Subscriber may have multiple Accounts (CSIDs). but a specific CSID (i.e., Account Number) may be assigned to only one Subscriber.
