Preparing to Use the Advanced Reporting Module
Use the information below to properly prepare your Advanced Reporting Module and the
Command Processor™ panel to create advanced reports.
If you are generating reports from an SCS-105 or SCS-1R Receiver, use the current
connection method already established in Remote Link or System Link.
Enable PC Log Reports
If you are using the Advanced Reporting Module with System Link, please contact your
vendor representative if you want your XR100 Series, XR500 Series, or XR2500F Command
Processor™ Panel to send a PC Log Report to your Advanced Reporting Module. Select
Program > PC Log Reports to open the PC Log Report setup window. Enable all
reports that the panel sends to the Advanced Reporting Module.
When using the Advanced Reporting Module with another module, such as Alarm
Monitoring, do not enable PC Log Reports. The Advanced Reporting Module uses the
information received through the other Module to create reports. For example, if you are
using the Alarm Monitoring Module and the Advanced Reporting Module on one computer,
the Advanced Reporting Module uses the alarm signals received through Alarm Monitoring
to create the reports.
Request Events from the Panel
To request events from your Command Processor™ panel, connect to your panel by opening
your panel’s file in Panel Information. Then select Panel > Connect and click the
Connect button. After you are properly connected to the panel, select Panel > Request
Events and click the Request button. For more information, see your System Link User’s
Guide (LT-0570) or Help File, or your Remote Link User’s Guide (LT-0565) or Help File.
After you have requested the panel’s events, you may select Panel Event Buffer for the
Source of the Advanced Reports.
Note: You must meet one of the following requirements to create advanced reports using
the Advanced Reporting Module:
• Request the panel’s events
• Enable PC Log Reports in the panel’s programming
• Install another module
• Receive messages from an SCS-105 or SCS-1R Receiver
If you do not perform at least one of these actions, you can not create any advanced
reports using the Advanced Reporting Module.
Note: To receive the panel PC Log Report, you must either monitor for the reports over a
direct connection or over a network connection. Refer to the following sections for
information. Do not send PC Log Reports through a receiver.
