MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

Attention: Installing V4 software will remove any older

V3.x

versions of the MONITOR AFx Director software.

Director software

cannot

co-exist with

V3.x

Director

software on the same PC.

Typical Steps

Ensure your database is in sync with your

system panel(s), and that you have an up-to-

date 'backup' copy of the database.

For details, refer to the on-line help or User's Guide

for your present version of software. Refer to:

"Alarm Panel Communications and Updates",

;

"Panel Communications and Updates",

and

;

"Backing Up or Restoring the Database".

Note:

With software

≥

V3.3

, you cannot upgrade

directly from a database backup (you must 'restore'

if needed, and then upgrade the software).

-------------------------

When finished, shut down your MONITOR

AFx Director software.

If upgrading from a

V1.x

system, you'll need

to ensure that your main panel is up-to-date

as well.

Tip:

This can be done before or after you

install the new software. For details, refer to the

instructions provided with your panel upgrade kit.)

If upgrading from V

.x Director software,

remove that software first

(Windows

Start

menu,

Settings

Control Panel

Add/Remove

Programs

). Note: DB 'backups' will be retained.

Tip: V2.x and V

can

be run independently on the

same PC, but if you do not require the V2.x

software, remove it now.

4) Install the new software

from the CD:

•

Insert the CD-ROM into the drive, and wait

for the 'auto-run' installation screen to

appear.

(If the 'auto-run' screen does not appear, eject & re-

insert the CD, or use the Windows Explorer to run

the "

Setup.exe

" program file on your CD-ROM

drive.)

•

Respond to the screens that appear,

entering any required information, and

making selections that are suitable for your

installation.

+ MS Internet Explorer v5.0 components are

required by the database engine. This is included

on the CD, and the IE5 installation will start

automatically if required.

Note

: If this occurs,

you'll have to run the Director installation

again

after IE5 finishes (look for

setup.exe

in the

'root' folder on the CD).

+ Windows NT/2000: Some stages of the

installation may take a few minutes--with only an

hour-glass displayed (be sure to let it finish).

+ If asked to remove your existing Director software:

You must select "Yes" here, or the installation will

be aborted. Tip: Your present database will be

retained to allow conversion for use with the new

software.

V3.2 and Older:

C:\Program

Files\MONITOR AFx Director Vx\Data\MONITOR

AFx Director.mdb.

V3.3 and Newer:

n/a (you will

not be asked for this information)

+ If You are Prompted to Overwrite any existing

Files: In general, you can select "Yes" to overwrite

existing files.

Exception:

If the files are indicated

as 'Read-Only', select "No".

Software Components: Refer to the descriptions below

when deciding which software components to install:

•

Operator Client:

For each PC to be used as a

Upgrading from an Earlier Version of Software

If You Need to Transfer the Database to a

Different PC:

Before starting the software upgrade,

skip to the related section (to follow/below).

Capacity Upgrade:

If you wish to upgrade your

system capacities, while retaining the same revision

of software, refer to "Software Activation and

Licensing".

Panel & Software Revisions:

Beginning with v3.20,

the Monitor AFx Director software is compatible with

panel firmware v2.0 and higher (although some

features will require updating the panel firmware

and/or modules). Associated panels must be the

same rev. level, and the Director software must

typically be upgraded to the same level or higher.

Notes: Panels

≥

V3.3

are required for IP-related

features. Director software version 3.0x and older

can be used only with panels of the same basic

revision level (e.g., 1.x, 2.x, or 3.0x).

AFx V1.x and older panels must be upgraded or

replaced (refer to the instructions provided with your

panel upgrade kit).

Client/Server Tip

: When installing a multi-PC

system, the software is typically installed first at the

Director-server PC, and then at the client PCs.

Director Server: The (networked) PC that includes

"...Director-Server.exe", and typically contains the

database (i.e., 'closed database' systems); Note:

Client PCs cannot be used until the server is up and

running, and the client PCs have been identified to

the server--as per references below. Client-server

operation is supported through your 'activation key'

and 'license-manager' software.
