58 AutroMaster_ AutroMaster_ Modifying the hosts-file Before registering the software, the network has to be configured. The hostname defined during installation of LINUX is assigned to the loopback interface ( ) by default. See the example below. # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail AutroMaster-5000 localhost.localdomain localhost To achieve a proper communication between, for example, Master and Slave AutroMaster, the hostname must be assigned to the computer s IP-address. This is done by removing the hostname from the Loopback interface and then adding the hostname on the next line together with the computer s IP-address. See the example below. # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail localhost.localdomain localhost AutroMaster-5000 When more computers are connected in a network, add the IPaddress and the hostname for each computer. Page 56

59 AutroMaster_ Registration of AutroMaster 5000 During the very first start-up of an AutroMaster 5000 installation, the AutroMaster software has to be registered at Autronica Fire and Security. Before registering the software, make sure that the network configuration is completed. Type the site name (Test3 is used in the example below), click Set. The Site name and Local code will appear automatically (Test3 and are used in the example below). Contact Autronica Fire and Security, and they will provide you the information you need in order to register (Serial Number and the Unlock key). address Autronica Fire and Security Support telephone If you want to register later, click Register later. Note that the software must be registered within 30 days after installation to ensure the continued operation. A text in the dialogue box will inform you how many days are left until you have to register. If you want to register now, click Register now, and continue. Page 57

60 AutroMaster_5000 Type the Serial Number and the Unlock key provided by Autronica Fire and Security, then click Register. (If you want to register later, click Register later). When the software is registered, click Finish and reboot the computer. 4.3 Registration after reconfiguration If the network configuration for the AutroMaster 5000 installation (PC) is changed, the AutroMaster must be registered again. Set a new "Site name" in order to generate a new "local code". This local code must be sent to Autronica Fire and Security. A new "unlock code" will then be generated (refer to chapter 4.2). Page 58

61 Network Time Protocol 5. Network Time Protocol 5.1 Introduction The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard protocol that synchronizes all real time clocks on computers and other equipment in a network connection. If an external NTP-server does not exist, one of the AutroMaster computers can be configured as an NTP-server, and the other computers in the network can synchronize the clocks with this computer. When synchonizing with an NTP-server, the real time clock on the computer must be configured as UTC and show UTC time. If no NTP-server is available, one of the AutroMasters in the network can be configured as the NTP-server, allowing the remaining AutroMaster 5000s to sychronize to this system. Note: When using Master/Slave network communication in the AutroMaster system, NTP real time clock synchronization must be configured. 5.2 Configuring an NTP-server Open a UNIX-window. Change the directory to the /etc.-folder. To configure a computer as an NTP-server, copy the file ntp.master to the file ntp.conf. 5.3 Configuring an NTP-client Open a UNIX-window. Change the directory to the /etc.-folder. To configure a computer as an NTP-client, copy the file ntp.slave to the file ntp.conf. Open the file ntp.conf in an editor and replace the keyword after "server" with the hostname or the IP-address of the NTP-server. If the real time clocks in AutroMaster computers connected in a network are to be synchronzed against an external NTP-server, all computers must be defined as NTP-clients. Page 59

62 Network Time Protocol 5.4 Giving AutroMaster access to devices When an installation is completed, only the system administrator (root) will have access to devices. A device is a physical file on the harddisk found in the /dev-directory. All access to computer hardware is possible by reading or writing to a specific device-file. An example of a device-file is /dev/ttys0, which represents serial port 1. _(underscore) is included in the command below to indicate the space character. Therefore, when typing the command, use the space key instead of underscore. AutroMaster must be given the necessary access to these devices, which is done in the following way: Open a UNIX-window. Execute the command chmod_777 followed by the name of the device. Depending on the configuration of the system, AutroMaster must be given access to the following devices. Device Explanation device-file is /dev/ttys0 Serial Port 1 device-file is /dev/ttys1 Serial Port 2 device-file is /dev/ttys4 Serial Port 5 (if installed) device-file is /dev/ttys5 Serial Port 6 (if installed) device-file is /dev/ttys6 Serial Port 7 (if installed) device-file is /dev/ttys7 Serial Port 8 (if installed) Page 60

In the panel a BSL-100 must be installed and configured as channel 2A or 2B. Cable AutroMaster BS100 RTZ-20- BS100 Maximum distance 10 Meters 1500 Meters Page 77

80 Connecting a fire alarm control panel to AutroMaster 7.2 Detailed connection of AutroMaster and AutroSafe. Connection between AutroMaster and one panel or one AUTROLON ring. A twisted pair (cat 5) cable is used to connect the network card in the PC to the network card in the panel (EAU-330/2). Please observe that the twisted pair cable is a crossed cable and not a one-to-one cable. Crossed twisted pair cable Connection between AutroMaster and several Lon rings. To communicate with 2 or more AutroSafe rings a network HUB must be used to split the signals. A HUB can also be used to amplify the signals in order to extend the length of the communication cable. All cables twisted pair (one-to one) Page 78

81 Connecting a fire alarm control panel to AutroMaster 7.3 Twisted Pair Cable Twisted pair cable is of type Category 5 with RJ-45 connectors. This cable is also called a patch cable. The cable exists in to versions, either one-to-one cable or crossed cable. Crossed cable must be used for direct communication between AutroMaster-5000 and AutroSafe. One-to-one cable must be used if AutroMaster is connected to one or several AutroSafe systems through a HUB. The length of one twisted pair cable must not exceed 90 metres. If the communication distance exceeds 90 metres an amplifier or a HUB must be installed. The maximum distance when using a HUB is 180 meters. (Each twisted pair cable is 90 meters). Connections twisted pair cable. Crossed Cable One-to-one cable AutroMaster AutroSafe AutroMaster Hub * 4* 4 4 5* 5* * 7* 7 7 8* 8* 8 8 * Can be connected, but not necessary. RJ-45 Connector Page 79

82 Using IP-addresses 8. Using IP-addresses To ensure communication, all IP-addresses must be defined in the same series, since communication is not possible between different network segments by means of routers or gateways. IP addresses within the same series means that the 3 first digits in the 4 number notation must be identical and the last digit must be different. This assumes that the netmask is defined as which is standard in AutroSafe. Example of valid configuration Example invalid configuration Page 80

83 Other configurations 9. Other configurations 9.1 Configuration of a printer under Linux To configure a printer under Linux, it is necessary to have system administrator rights. Linux (printtool) provides a tool which simplifies the configuration. To configure a printer follow this procedure. From the menu open a Unix window. Change to system administrator by typing su, followed by the administrator password. Start the printer configuration tool by typing redhat-config-printer followed by the enter key. Printers which are already defined must be deleted. If there are already defined printers, select the printer entry in the list, and click Delete. To add a new printer definition, click Add. Page 81

84 Other configurations To continue, click Forward. Add lp as name for the printer queue, and a short description. To continue, click Forward. If the printer is connected to the computer s parallel port, select Locally connected. To continue, click Forward. If the printer is connected to a computer on a network, select Netwoked_JetDirect Type in the printer s IP-address. To continue, click Forward.. Page 82

85 Other configurations If the printer is included in the drop-down list box, select it, then click Forward to continue. If not, select a compatible printer or use a standard printer driver, e.g. postscript. To save printer configuration, click Apply. Page 83

86 Other configurations From the main printer configuration window (which appears), select the printer entry and click the Edit button. Select Driver options. Select the correct page size for the printer (currently only A4 is supported). Depending on the printer type, cross-check Send Form-Feed (FF) and/or Send End-of-Transmission (EOT). To complete the configuration, click OK. From the main printer configuration window (which appears), click Apply to save the changes. To test the printer print out the test page from the test menu (e.g. a postscript test page). Page 84

87 Other configurations 9.2 Configuring automatic summer/wintertime adjustment The LINUX real time clock always shows UTC time, while the built-in clock in AutroMaster shows the local time with one or two hours offset from the UTC time. To configure automatic change of sommer and winter time for the AutroMaster clock, proceed as follows: Use the editor to create a file named.crontab in the /home/spefun. # Summer time adjustment 0 1 * 3,10 0 /usr/local/amtimeadjust Save the file. Run the command crontab.crontab Open the file grafikkstart -file in the editor. Add the line amtimeadjust at the end of the file. Save the file. Page 85
