Use the RPSInstallation.ini File

To use the RPSInstallation.ini file to install RPS with the same SQL database settings as the first installation:

1.

Copy the following files to a blank CD-ROM:

– All files from the master RPS CD-ROM

– The RPSInstallation.ini file from the PC where the first installation or upgrade was performed (X:\RPSInstallation.ini, where “X” = the drive letter assigned to the computer’s local drive).

All of the required installation files, including the RPSInstaller.exe file, reside in the

fscommand folder at the root level of the RPS CD-ROM. The RPSInstallation.ini file must reside in this folder as well.

2.

Insert the copied RPS CD-ROM into the next computer that requires an installation or upgrade of RPS.

RPS installs the SQL database according to the settings in the RPSInstallation.ini file, and then installs RPS. When the installation process is complete, RPS connects to the

SQL database.

3.

Repate Step 2 for all remaining computers that require an RPS installation or upgrade.

Customize the RPSInstallation.ini File

If the RPS installation requires that the SQL database is installed locally on each computer

(not shared), you can customize the RPSInstallation.ini file as follows:

1.

Create a text file (.txt) in a text editor such as Notepad.

2.

Copy the following lines in the order as shown below:

– [Installation]

– NewSQLInstance=

– NewRPSDatabase=

3.

Save the file.

Use RPSInstallation for the filename. Change the file extension from .txt to .ini.

4.

Close the file.

5.

Copy the custom .ini file along with all of the files on the master RPS CD-ROM to a blank

CD-ROM.

All of the required installation files, including the RPSInstaller.exe file, rreside in the

fscommand folder at the root level of the RPS CD-ROM. The RPSInstallation.ini file must reside in this folder as well.

6.

Install RPS onto each computer that requires an installation or upgrade.

RPS creates unique SQL instance names and RPS database names on each computer.

Share the SQL Database

If several networked computers share the SQL database, the first computer requires the RPS upgrade. After that, run RPS on the first computer to upgrade the existing SQL database before installing the new version of RPS on the other networked computers. During the database upgrade, the database files (.dat files) are moved from the shared database folder and merged into the SQL database.

The site’s network administrator usually performs the first upgrade. All other users only need to upgrade the RPS application on their local computers.

For more information on the database file integration, refer to Section 4.4 Integrate the RPS

Database Files into the SQL Database, page 47.

Integrate the RPS Database Files into the SQL Database

Automatic Integration

In Versions 5.11 and lower, RPS uses a network drive to share database files (.dat files) among all of the RPS computers. In Versions 5.12 and later, RPS integrates the .dat files into the SQL database. The SQL database is then installed locally on the same computer that RPS is installed on, or it is installed on a network that all of the RPS computers can access.

During a new installation of RPS 5.12 or later, or when upgrading to RPS 5.12 or later, the

RPS .dat files are automatically integrated into the SQL database.

Manual Integration

If the integration of the RPS .dat files into the SQL database fails (for example, a network failure occurs), then the RPS .dat files must be manually integrated into the SQL database.

To manually integrate the RPS .dat files into the SQL database:

1.

Start RPS.

2.

Select Config>System>File Locations.

The File Locations tab opens.

3.

Click Upgrade Database.

All existing RPS .dat files are copied from their current location to the new SQL database location.

SQL database. Then click OK.

All existing RPS .dat files are copied from their current location to the new SQL database location.

Create a New Database

If the SQL database fails to upgrade automatically, click Create Database on the File

Locations tab to merge the existing database with a new database.

Conversion Log File

If an RPS .dat file does not exist in the database folder, RPS copies a corresponding default

.dat file to the new SQL database location. RPS then creates a DATFileConversion.log file in

X:\RPS\Logs (“X” = the drive letter associated to the drive where RPS is installed).

This log file consists of the following information:

– The date and time that the conversion occurred

– The versions that RPS was upgraded from and to

– The location of the RPS .dat files before the conversion started

– The conversion results

Below is a sample conversion file log:

Set Security Levels by Panel Type for Networked Users

If your company is using a database on a networked drive and you want to allow users to be able to set security levels for control panels, you must copy the control panel definition files to each workstation on the network. This preserves the security settings you have set for each control panel type on the individual workstations on the network.

NOTICE!

If these files are not copied to each workstation, users on other workstations can change data for control panel types that you restricted.

Use the following steps to transfer your security settings to other PCs on the network:

1.

From RPS, set the security levels for each control panel type on any one PC on the network. Only users with an authority level of 15 can perform this operation.

Refer to the RPS General Help in RPS for more information on setting security levels in

RPS.

NOTICE!

Setting the security levels for a control panel type sets the levels for all accounts for that control panel type (new and existing).

2.

Use Windows Explorer to copy the appropriate control panel definition files (peg defs) to each PC on the network after you set the security level for each field in each panel type.

To do this, open the RPS directory on the PC where you are currently working. Find the folder labeled PegDefs.

3.

Use Windows Explorer to copy the PegDefs folder to each of the RPS directories on all workstations running RPS. Use the drag-and-drop feature in Windows to move the

PegDefs folder to each PC on the network. Click and hold the PegDefs folder with the right mouse button and drag the folder to the RPS directory on the target workstation

PC. Release the right mouse button. A small dialog opens and asks if you want to Move,

Copy, Create a Shortcut to the folder or Cancel

NOTICE!

Ensure that you select Copy. Selecting Move moves the entire PegDefs folder from the current PC to the workstation PC. Click Yes if the File Already Exists - Do you want to

overwrite? message appears.

NOTICE!

Moving the PegDefs folder prevents RPS from working on the current PC. If you accidentally move the PegDefs folder, return it to the RPS directory on the PC, and then recopy it to the workstation.

4.

After Windows finishes the copy process, the workstation has the same security settings as the original PC. Repeat Step 3 for each workstation on the network.

NOTICE!

If you change the control panel security setting in the future, you must copy the new PegDefs files to each workstation again.

– Changing an RF ID: RPS allows you to change the RF ID for a location without resetting the learned characteristics for the transmitter. For example, the control panel supervises an RF3401 (RF3401E) Point Transmitter. The control panel learned that both the reed switch or magnet, and the sensor loop, are in use. The magnet must be in place and the sensor loop must be normal for the transmitter to be normal (not faulted). If you enter an

ID for a new transmitter at this location, the control panel expects to see both the reed switch and the sensor loop normal before the zone state is declared normal. To only use the reed switch (or only the sensor loop), remove the ID for the location at a keypad by using the Installer RF Menu. Refer to the control panel's documentation for instructions.

– Parameters Changed Report: If changes are made to the control panel's programming using RPS and the remote programming session ends with the Reset Panel box checked, the control panel does not send a Parameters Changed report. If the session ends and the Reset Panel box is not checked, the control panel sends the Parameters Changed report.

– Miscellaneous System Trouble Options: The Enable AC Fail Trouble Tone and Enable

Ground Fault Display and Trouble Tone options, located in the Miscellaneous category in

RPS, are only available on control panels with firmware version 1.04 or greater.

– Output Function Types: If Output Function Types 1,8 to 1,13 and 2,11 are assigned to an output, you should not be able to turn the output on or off or toggle it in RPS; however, the control panel does not force some of these restrictions when using RPS.

– Bypassing Unbypassable Zones in RPS: Some zones that are not bypassable at the control panel might be bypassable in RPS.

– Unbypassing a zone from RPS does not reactivate Zone: Unbypassing a zone from RPS does not return the zone to active status, allowing it to generate an alarm response if violated. To return the zone to active status from RPS:

– Disarm the area in which the zone is assigned.

– Unbypass the zone.

– Rearm the area.

– Arming States in Diagnostics: The control panel does not allow RPS to change arming states to a lower state without first disarming the control panel. For example, if the control panel is All On, you cannot switch to Perimeter Only until you disarm the control panel and rearm Perimeter Only. You can switch to a higher arming state (Perimeter Only to All On) without first disarming the control panel.

– Callback: Initiate callback immediately to ensure proper callback operation. Click Yes at the prompt to make RPS automatically detect the phone ring. This feature might not work with certain modems.

– RF Jam Detect not shown in Diagnostics: RPS does not indicate if the RF receivers are jammed in Diagnostics. RF Receiver status is shown as either "Off Normal" or "Missing."

No other trouble conditions appear.

– Non-traditional Alphabetical Characters Not Supported by RPS (DS7240-SWE, DS7240-

NOR only): Characters that are not part of the Swedish or Norwegian alphabet, but are supported by the control panel, cannot be entered into RPS. These characters do not appear if they are sent to RPS from the control panel.

RPS

– Tamper conditions not bypassable (DS7240-UK only): Bypassing a zone from RPS only bypasses the alarm condition. Tamper conditions cannot be bypassed.

– Remote Programming Lockout (DS7240-UK and DS7200V2-UK only): After three invalid attempts to connect to the control panel from RPS, the control panel locks out any remote programming sessions for 4 h. Remote programming through the direct connect method is still available.

– SRT Modems (DS7240-NOR only): The SRT MiniBox and SRT ProBox 33.6 modems do not work with the DS7240-NOR control panel even though they appear in the System

Config Modem tab.

D7024 and DS9400

– Firmware Revision: To program the FACP using RPS, the FACP must have firmware version 2.02 or later installed.

– Firmware 2.04 Defaults: The default account values are intended for firmware 2.04. A

"Panel out of Sync" message appears if you connect to a control panel with firmware version 2.03 or lower.

– False Values/Blank Results Appear in Compare Window: If a four-zone expander is not installed and "Receive Panel Data" is selected from the Panel Sync dialog, some of the values for Zones 5 to 8 might not be retrieved correctly. If a four-zone expander is installed, the values for Input Points 5 to 8 are retrieved correctly.

– Gentex RNAC Option: The Gentex NAC output configuration is a valid NAC option on control panels with firmware version 2.04 or later. If Gentex is selected and sent to a control panel with firmware version 2.03 or lower, the NAC response is set to Steady.

– Remote Program Enabled: If "Remote Program Enabled" is set to No, RPS still allows you to receive data from the control panel; however, for security reasons, you cannot view any of the PINs or change any program information.

– "Panel out of Sync" Message with Defaulted DS9400M and RPS: The RPS default for

MUX Bus Type is "Not Installed," whereas the DS9400M's default is "Installed."

D8112

– Panel Sync Window: D8112 Series Control Panels always show a Panel Sync dialog even if the data in RPS matches the data in the control panel.

– Importing Zone Notes from a RAM II Account (D8112G, G1, G2): Zone notes entered for

Zones 100+ do not appear with their appropriate zone when imported into RPS. Zone notes must be manually entered into RPS. This is because RAM II does not account for

Master Zones in the Zones table.

D9112B1, D7212B1

– Panel Sync Window Appears with Defaulted Panel and Account (D7212B1 only): The

Panel Sync dialog should only appear when there are programming differences between the control panel and the RPS account; however, it might appear if you connect to a defaulted control panel with a defaulted RPS account. Comparing the defaulted control panel and RPS account yields no default differences.

– ZOOM 2949 56Kx Zoom Fax Modem Answer Ring Setting: Set the control panel's answer ring count to answer on less than eight rings when using the ZOOM 2949 56Kx

Zoom Fax Modem (version 34X).

– Message Limitation (Keypad Tab): Even though you can send messages to each keypad's

(command center) address, only one message can be performed at a time.

DS7400XiV4-EXP

– Phone Number Fields Also Apply to IP Addresses: The phone number fields in Phone

Control and Partitions > Account Code also support IP addresses if you are communicating over an Ethernet network.

– Resetting the Control Panel from RPS Clears Date and Time Settings: If you click the

Reset Panel checkbox on the End Session dialog, RPS clears the control panel's date and time settings. You cannot retrieve current history events if these settings are cleared. You must retrieve all of the control panel's history log entries.

– If you cannot connect to a DS7400XiV4-EXP using a Hayes 2400 Modem, use the

following initialization (init) string: AT&C1&D2X0&Q0S9=1S7=255S10=254.
