Signal Processing Order

❑Signal Processing Order: The following list describes how SPA and MKMSCS attempt to validate an Alarm ( Event, Test, Restoral) Signal before declaring it an Invalid Alarm.

➢Note: A word of caution is required here if your Central Station has Subscribers that are reporting Areas within their Signals.

Unless each Subscriber's Area(s) are defined in the Areas Form associated with that Subscriber, the correct description of that Area, when received, cannot be displayed for the Operator.

•Perfect Match - Initially SPA searches for a Perfect Match (in the order listed below) and, if the Perfect Match is found, that Signal is processed appropriately.

1.Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found,

2.Perfect Match of CSID Zone with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found,

3.Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found,

4.Perfect Match of CSID Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found,

5.Perfect Match of CSID Zone Override with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card, and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found,

6.Perfect Match of CSID Zone with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card, and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found,

7.Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found,

8.Perfect Match of Panel Zone with Area information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001", A = "1") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ), with an Area (A) identified, are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found,

9.Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found,

10.Perfect Match of Panel Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found,

11.Perfect Match of Panel Zone Override with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E13_", PZ = "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found,

12.Perfect Match of Panel Zone with any Wild Card information (CSID = "123456", SI_ = "E13_", PZ "001") - The CSID, Signal ID (SI_) with Wild Card and Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If not found,

•Mixed Match - Subsequently, if no Perfect Match case is found, SPA searches for a Mixed Match (in the order listed below) and, if the Mixed Match is found, that Signal is processed as described below:

1.Mixed Match of CSID Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zone Override table. If not found,

2.Mixed Match of CSID Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the CSID Zones table. If not found,

3.Mixed Match of Panel Zone Override information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zone Override table. If not found,

4.Mixed Match of Panel Zone information (CSID = "123456", SI = "E130", PZ = null) - The CSID, Signal ID (SI) and null Physical Zone (PZ) are searched for in the Panel Zones table. If none found, the Alarm Signal is reported as an Invalid Alarm.

•If a Signal Identifier is located: Once the Signal Identifier (SI) is found, SPA attempts to locate the appropriate Physical Zone (PZ) Description information in the following order:

1.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) with an Area (A) identified in the CSID Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001", A = "1") - The Description information from the CSID Zone Override table is used. If not found,

2.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the CSID Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the CSID Zone Override table is used. If not found,

3.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the CSID Zone table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the CSID Zones table is used. If not found,

4.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) with an Area (A) identified in the Panel Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001", A = "1") - The Description information from the Panel Zone Override table is used. If not found,

5.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the Panel Zone Override table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the Panel Zone Override table is used. If not found,

6.Matches the Physical Zone (PZ) in the Panel Zone table (CSID = "123456", SI = null, PZ = "001") - The Description information from the Panel Zones table is used. If none found, the Alarm Signal is reported as an Invalid Alarm.
