TrueSite Workstation Installation and Checkout Instructions
1 Before you begin

This publication describes how to install and check out the Simplex TrueSite Workstation (TSW) software, which includes the TSW, the TSW Remote
Client, the TSW as a Firefighter Smoke Control Station (FSCS), the TSW Configurator applications and the TSW File Transfer application. The CD
containing these applications is labeled TrueSite_Workstation_XXX.exe, where XXX is the revision number.
Once installed, these applications are accessible via the TrueSite Workstation, TrueSite Workstation Remote Client, and TrueSite Workstation
Configurator icons (Figure 1). The PC on which the TSW is installed is called the TSW PC. The TSW can also be accessed from a remote computer (called
a Remote Client PC). To do so, install the TSW software on a Remote Client PC that is on the same TCP/IP network as the TSW PC. The TSW PC will have
all three applications installed. The Remote Client PC, on the other hand, will only have the TSW Remote Client Application.
Figure 1: Icons for the four TSW applications
The TSW application provides head-end annunciation, floor plan display, system control, and information management. The TSW is a node on a 4120
fire network or an ES Net network used to annunciate and control the points contained within either network.
The TSW supports up to 7 network loops. The seven loops can be solely 4120 loops, or a combination of one ES Net loop and up to six 4120 loops. To
support multiple 4120 loops on a TSW, you need to install additional 4120 Fire Network Interface Cards (NIC) in the TSW PC. Add the ES Net loop using
an ES Net External NIC (4190-9832, 4190-9833, 4190-9834, 4190-9835) or, if the card is hosted by an ES Panel, using a bay mounted ES Net NIC card
(4100-6104, 4100-6310, 4010-6310) configured in TSW mode.
On the Remote Client PC, the TSW Remote Client application is an interface to the TSW software that is installed on the TSW PC. It remotely connects
to the TSW software on the TSW PC and provides access to some of its options. Not all the options can be accessed from the Remote Client PC. Select
any options you require when the TSW software is configured in the TSW Configurator.
Note:
Remote clients can be configured as either Supervised or Non-Supervised. Supervised clients are monitored. If the TSW loses the TCP/IP connection to
a Supervised client, the TSW indicates a trouble. This option should be selected for job sites which require monitoring of TCP/IP Remote Client connec-
tions. TSW does not indicate a trouble when connections to Non-supervised clients are lost.
The TSW as an FSCS is connected to 4100ES panels through the 4120 Network or the ES Net network. The connection to the TSW is for use only as an
Operator Interface. For Programming and Setup information, refer to the Smoke Application Guide 574-465, Revision F or later.
1.1 Inventory
The TSW Configurator is a programming application used to configure hardware devices, 4120 fire network nodes, ES Net network nodes and general
system settings in the TrueSite Workstation. After the equipment is unpacked, locate the shipping papers that came with the equipment and inventory
the equipment received. If equipment is missing, notify your local Simplex product supplier.
1.2 Text conventions

• A word that is in bold indicates the name of a dialog box, button or selection. For example: “Click Start then Run” or “Select Never in the Print
dialog box”.
• A word that is “inside quotation marks” indicates a section or chapter name, a name of a field in a dialog box or a message. For example: “Select
Never for the “Desktop” field”.

Note: TSW requires the default Windows DPI setting (96 DPI) for proper display of all windows/dialogs. See Installing on a Windows PC for more
details. The UL I/O USB card is part of the All-in-One PC.
The following is a list of optional requirements based on the need for additional devices:
• 1 parallel port (for printer) supported by the 32 Bit OS - not supported by the 64 Bit OS and not applicable for the All-In-One PC.
• 2 serial ports (for connecting a Digital Alarm Communicator Receiver (DACR) and 2120 retrofit).
• PCI slots for additional network loops.
• Serial ports for multiple 2120 SLI connections.
Note: The default Comark onboard video card does not support Windows AERO feature. Install the 4190-6038/4190-6039/ 4190-6049 video card
instead. See Installing the second video card for instructions. This note does not apply for the All-In-One PC.

2.2 Additional hardware requirements for Central Station

NFPA-72 Central Station applications require a Sur-Gard System I, II, III or IV DACR, Bosch D6600 DACR, D6100i DACR, D6100IPv6 DACR, or AES
Intellinet 7705i Receiver with installation manual.
2.3 DACR/TrueSite Workstation limitations

The DACR supports the following protocol formats in the TSW:
• Ademco CID
• 3/1*
• 4-2*
• BFSK
• SIA level 1
Note: AES only supports Ademco CID.
The TSW does not support the B32 Header option for TCP/IP messages. The TCP/IP for the DACR works with the configured TSW default settings. The
TSW can receive messages from the DACR. These protocols are only available for security applications and signalling.

which are rated at 24 VDC.
2.5 Considerations
When you are locating the equipment, consider anything that may affect the installation, for example:
• Will it be difficult to run cables to the TSW?
• Will the equipment be installed in a dusty or dirty environment, or will the system be exposed to contaminants?
• Is the location close enough to any locations you might want to get to quickly?
• Is it a good location for future expansion?
Note: The TSW and the 4100U or 4100ES control unit must be located and grouped for viewing and operation by one person from one location.
2.6 Upgrading a PC, running the existing Simplex IMS

Note:
• This section is only relevant if you are upgrading the Simplex IMS software installed on a UL864 Listed PC to TSW Revision 2.01. TSW Revision
2.01 includes TSW, TSW Configurator and TSW Remote Client applications. If your Simplex UL864 Listed PC is up to date with the manufacturing
implementation of new PC specifications, ignore the following instructions.

• As of version 2.01, TSW does not work with IMS type dongles. Select Help from the TSW runtime application to view the current dongle type.
Contact your sales representative to obtain a TSW type dongle if necessary (required for TSW 2.01 and later).
The Information Management System (IMS) PC requires an additional 1GB DIMM RAM module in order to run the TSW Revision 2.01 software, which
includes TSW Runtime, Configurator and Remote Client applications. The appropriate hardware upgrades (4190-9812 or 4190-9814) and software
upgrades must be performed. The total amount of RAM required by the TSW is 2 GB.
To install the additional 1GB DIMM RAM, follow this procedure:
1. Backup the system and notify all building personnel and occupants that the IMS is going offline until system upgrade is complete.
2. Shut down the Simplex UL864 Listed PC.
3. Disable the power supply by pushing the switch situated at the back of its case.
4. Strip off the case of the tower by doing the following:
a. Remove the screws in the back of the unit. Keep them in a bag or a container to avoid losing them.
b. Once the screws are removed, slide the case forward.
c. Lift up the case to expose the components inside the PC tower.
5. Locate the Single Board Computer (SBC) in the second slot.
6. The RAM slots are situated on top of the board. Normally, there is a DIMM unit in the top slot.
7. Install the RAM:

3.2.9 Installing the Security Service

Please refer to document 579-825: Installing the Software Security System (shipped with the TSW) for instructions on installing the Key Security Service.
This service is necessary to access the program.
3.2.10 TSW software installation

The PC on which the TSW is installed is called the TSW PC. An additional feature on the TSW is the possibility of accessing it from a remote computer
(called a Remote Client PC). The TSW PC needs the full TSW software (TSW, TSW Configurator and TSW Remote Client applications) installed. The
Remote Client PC only needs the TSW Remote Client application to connect to the TSW software on the TSW PC.
The TSW CD is labeled TrueSite_Workstation_XXX.exe, where XXX is the revision number. The CD contains a package with the following applications:
• TSW Runtime application
• TSW Configurator
• TSW Remote Client
• TSW File Transfer
The TSW requires at least 1 GB of free disk space. Minimum space requirements are automatically verified during installation. The installation process
is terminated if the minimum system requirements are not met.
Note: Additional space is required to accommodate configuration and runtime data.
3.2.11 TSW software installation on a TSW PC

Before installing the TSW software, make sure that Windows operating system is installed.
You should install the Simplex Network Programmer with TSW node support to configure the 4120 fire network. Refer to Simplex Fire Network
Programmer Installation and Programming Instructions, 579-166 for details on how to program the 4120 fire network and the ES Net network.

tion Setup dialog box. Refer to the document 579-835: Operation and Application Instructions for more details.
page 30 579-834 Rev. AT

3.2.12 Remote Client TSW software installation

To install the TSW software on a Remote Client PC, only the TSW Remote Client application is needed (see Installing the hardware for Remote Client
PC requirements). This is because it connects to the TSW on the TSW PC, via TCP/IP. Some TSW functionalities are only available if accessing the
application from the TSW PC and would be unavailable at the Remote Client PC.
To install the TSW Remote Client, complete the steps in TSW software installation on a TSW PC. Also, ensure that only the TrueSite Workstation
Remote Client option checked during installation.
Note: If you are planning to run the TSW Remote Client in Captive Mode, you need to disable the Windows User Account Control (UAC) feature. See
document 579-835: TrueSite Workstation Operation and Application Instructions for more details.
Figure 26: Select Features dialog box for Remote Client TSW installation
Note: A Supervised Remote Client PC needs to have its Windows Time service disabled if it is time-synced with the TSW PC. To disable this service, fol-
low these steps:
1. Open the Control Panel window.

2. Open the Administrative Tools option.
3. Open the Services option.
4. From the list of services, right click Windows Time and select Properties.
5. Under the General tab, click Stop to stop the Windows Time service.
6. From the Service type drop-down menu, select Disabled. Click OK.

3.2.13 Windows Logon password

The Logon Password feature in Windows is a security feature that limits access to the contents of a computer. Only users who know the password will
be able to log on to the PC and access its contents.
Important: To meet the proprietary receiving station requirement, you must adhere to the following guidelines:
• The “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” check box only appears if your computer is not connected to a
network domain.
• You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to make the modifications stated above.
• Requiring users to enter a name and password provides secure protection for your computer. Microsoft Windows verifies each account and
provides access to the computer only if the information is correct.
• If only one person uses the computer or the security risk is low, you might find it convenient to allow your Windows operating system to
automatically log on each time that you start the computer.
• If the PC is required to auto-start the TSW when the PC boots (e.g. if a UL card is present), the Windows Logon Password feature will need to be
disabled. To do so, assign the PC to a Workgroup instead of a Windows domain.
page 31 579-834 Rev. AT

3.2.14 Logon Password in Windows

To require or disable a logon password in a workgroup setting:
1. Click Start > Windows System > Run .
2. In the Open dialog box, type control userpasswords2, and click OK.
Select the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box to require users to provide this information
when they log on.
Clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box to allow a user to automatically log on. You are
prompted to provide the name and password of the users who are automatically logged on each time the computer starts.
3.2.15 TSW Data Backup

The 4190-7015/4190-7016 PCs are configured with two 1 TB hard disks:
• The PC may be pre-configured with RAID 1 so the disks are mirrored, see Appendix C.
• If the PC is not configured with RAID, see Appendix D.
The 4190-7011 and 4190-7012 PCs are configured with two 160 GB hard disks:
• C: drive contains the Windows installation and the TSW Installation.
• The second drive (D: or E:) can be used for backup purposes.
• The second drive will not be available if the PC is configured for RAID 1.
While the TSW is running on the TSW PC, it is continually updating dynamic data files from the NETJOBS directory on the PC (usually C:\NETJOBS). It is
recommended for periodic backups to be scheduled on the TSW PC for all dynamic data. Data can be manually copied to the second drive or a backup
utility can be used. Microsoft Windows provides a backup utility, accessed by clicking Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup
Status and Configuration . See Microsoft Windows documentation for more details. Making regular backups of the TSW dynamic data to an external
drive or device is also recommended, in case of damage to the entire PC.
Note: The 4190-7011 / 4190-7012/ 4190-7015 / 4190-7016 / 4190-7026 / 4190-7027 / 4190-7028 / 4190-7029 PCs are configured with a DVD RW
drive that can be used for external backup. The second drive is not available if the PC is configured for RAID 1.
The TSW runtime application writes to the following dynamic files for a job with a site name of "Campus", and a job name of "Lobby":
• C:\NETJOBS\Campus\Lobby\OpNotes.*
• C:\NETJOBS\Campus\Lobby\RUNTIME\log\*.*
In addition to the TSW dynamic runtime data backup, the Network Programmer should be used to backup the configuration data for the entire
network site. See 579-166 - Network Programmer Installation and Programming Instructions for full details on the Network Programmer.
3.2.16 Email Account Setup

In order to allow the TSW to send emails on event notifications, an SMTP email server must be specified. The SMTP server must be reachable on the
TCP/IP network from the TSW PC.
Set up the email account by following the instructions provided in the document 579-835: Simplex TrueSite Workstation Operation and Application
Instructions.
3.2.17 Setting up the TSW Server with Remote Clients

If the TSW is being installed as a server for remote clients, the TSW Remote Client PCs needs to know the Workstation Identifier (computer name or
TCP/IP address) for the TSW server PC. The PCs also need to be able to communicate with on another over the TCP/IP network. Both PCs must enable
Network Discovery.
To do so, complete the following steps:
1. Open the Control Panel and select Change Advanced Sharing Settings
2. Make sure that the option Network Discovery is On.
Refer to Appendix A. Setting up a dedicated fire alarm LAN for details on setting up a dedicated fire alarm LAN. Refer to Windows documentation for
more details on joining a Windows network.
The Workstation Identifier for the TSW server can be either the computer name or the TCP/IP address for the PC. One or the other is required, not
both. The local IT department can help you determine which to use.
To obtain the computer name, click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
To obtain the TCP/IP address:
1. Click Start and navigate to Programs and Accessories and then click Command Prompt.
2. Type ipconfig and hit the Enter key on the keyboard.
3. The TCP/IP address will be listed next to the IPv4 Address as shown in Figure 28.
In this case, the TCP/IP address is 10.38.168.27.
page 32 579-834 Rev. AT

Figure 27: Ping Command
Verify that both computers can communicate with each other from a command prompt by using the ping command from both computers.
Figure 28: Windows Command Prompt.
Make sure that the TSW server PC is able to receive a reply back from the TSW Remote Client PC, and the Remote Client PC can receive a reply back
from the TSW server PC. If the pings fail, verify the Ethernet connectors are properly installed on both PCs and/or contact the local IT department.
Windows Explorer can also be invoked to browse available networks. Refer to Windows documentation for more details.
Once the PCs are able to communicate in both directions, and the TSW software has been installed on the server PC with the Remote Client software
installed on the client PC, the TSW server PC is then ready to allow connections from TSW Remote Client PCs.
Note:
• When the TSW server is configured (see document 579-844: Configurator Reference Manual), a Connection Passcode must be specified.
• A Feature Code must be installed on the TSW server PC in order to allow Remote Clients to connect. See document 579-835: Operation and
Application Instructions for more details on TSW Feature Codes.
On the TSW Remote Client PC, the Connect dialog box must be invoked to connect to a TSW server PC (see document 579-835: Operation and
Application Instructions for full details on the Connect dialog box). The Connect dialog box requires the client to specify the Workstation (TSW Server)
Identifier, the connection passcode, and the TCP/IP port to use for Communications. In most cases, the default port 8831 is used.
If a port is already in use, the TSW server PC can be invoked with a command line argument in order to reset the TSW port:
C:\Simplex\TrueSite\tsw\Client> TSWDesktop –local –port:8888
The following worksheet can be used to record/copy TSW PC Identifiers. This information might need to be shared with the local IT department.
Windows Explorer can also be invoked to browse available networks. Refer to Windows documentation for more details.

4 Installing the TrueSite Workstation Rack-Mount Versions

The TSW is available as a rack-mount for TSW PC assemblies. Rack-mounts are not applicable to Remote Client PCs because they access TSW
application remotely.
4.1 Installing the Rack-Mount components

The entire rack set-up is assembled and tested at the factory. After testing is completed, the PC and monitor are removed and packed in their original
shipping cartons. The rails and any other additional items are left on the PC and monitor. The rack is then shipped as an assembled unit.
Complete the following steps to install the remaining components:
1. Secure the rack to the floor.
2. Separate the conduits for the entry of power-limited and non-power limited supply lines through the bottom plate (there is a label on the
bottom plate showing the desired location for these supply lines).
3. Install the PC in the rack (the rails are already assembled) and secure it with 10-32 screws (supplied).
4. Plug the monitor power cord into the PC power outlet.
5. Plug the PC power cord into the surge protector.
6. Secure the power wires to the back left rail using the tie wrap provided (leave a minimum service loop for sliding of the PC).
7. Secure all other wires (non-power limited) to the back right rail using the tie wrap provided.
8. Connect the incoming AC line to the AC termination block.
9. After you have set up the Rack-Mount TSW, you can continue installing it on the 4120 fire network or the ES Net network..

5 Connecting 2120 nodes (Retrofit application only)

This chapter describes how to connect 2120 nodes to a TSW PC, running the TSW software, using the existing RS232 Serial Port.
Note: Keep in mind that 2120 is Retrofit only. To connect 2120 nodes using the Multiport card, refer to the SLI Multiport Option - Installation Instruc-
tions, 574-097.
5.1 Installing and operating the SPC 2120 Utility (Retrofit application only)
Note:
Disregard this section if you do not have a 2120 interface.
This section describes the necessary steps to install and configure the 2120 Serial Point Collection Utility (SPC 2120).
For further information, read publication 574-097.
5.1.1 Installation procedure

To install the SPC 2120, you must have a Windows operating system. Install the SPC 2120 as follows:
1. Insert the installation media into the appropriate drive.
2. Open an MS-DOS command window by clicking on the Start button and then on All Programs.
3. Click Accessories and then Command Prompt.
4. From the C:\ or C:\WINDOWS prompt type [drive name]:install and press Enter.
5. From the installation screen, select I to install the SPC 2120 or E to exit the installation.
6. The SPC 2120 installation program then asks you where you wish the utility installed. The typical installation is installed in the C:\SPC2120
directory.
7. After a successful installation, the SPC 2120 installation program returns you to the DOS prompt.
5.1.2 Operating the SPC 2120 utility

Note: A serial cable must be connected from COM X of the PC to a 2120 Computer Port prior to running the SPC 2120 Utility.
To run the SPC 2120 Utility, type SPC2120 [/option] from the C:\SPC2120 directory. Typing SPC2120 without a specified option assumes a complete
download from Port 1. The options are listed below.
• /A - Complete Download
• /L - Update Custom Labels
• /P - Update Priorities
• /S - Update Suppressions
• /Nn - Port number; n = the port number (only used as a file reference)
• /H or /? - Shows list of parameters (help)
In order to perform the updating options (/L, /P, or /S), a matching 2120_N.SLI (where “N” is the number of the 2120 node) file must already exist.
When doing these updates, the point information is referenced from the existing 2120_N.SLI file. Then the specified update request information
(/L, /P, or /S) is received from the 2120 and compared to the existing information before writing a new file. When doing a Complete Download, all
information is received from the 2120. In both cases, the original file is backed up to 2120_N.SAV. If this file already exists, the program prompts
you to enter a filename.
Once the SPC 2120 command is entered, the program asks you for a job name. You can type up to eight characters for a job name and press
Enter. The SPC 2120 informs you when the system completes a successful download.
Before copying the SPC 2120 output file into the TSW/NPU directory structure, rename it from “2120IOn.SLI” to the 2120 CMS file number
without the revision letter. For example, if the CMS file number is “W123456A”, then rename the file from “2120IOn.SLI” to “W123456.SLI”.
Before an update option /L, /P, or /S can be performed, the file must be renamed back to “2120IOn.SLI” for the SPC 2120 program to find an
existing comparison file.
Note:
• CMS stands for Conversational Monitor System which is a simple single-user operating system from IBM’s VM family. IBM mainframe computers
that are used to program the 2120 usually run on the CMS operating system.
• By default, the CMS number is the job name that is printed on the very first page of every 2120 program report.
Before starting the SPC 2120 program, make sure all points to be copied to the TSW are vectored to the download port. Only the points vectored to
the 2120 download port will be copied to the output file.
Note:
• Print class 1 points are vectored to all ports and print class 0 points are not vectored to any ports. Points that were print class 0 and do not need
to be printed at the 2120 strip printer should be changed to print class 7 and then vectored to the download port.
• When running the SPC 2120 program, the PC should be connected to the port on the 2120 that will be connected to the TSW at runtime.

5.5 Adding 2120 points (Retrofit Application Only)
5.5.1 How to Add 2120 points to the Point Database and 4120 Fire Network
Complete the following steps to add 2120 points to the 4120 fire network and to the point database.
1. Use Windows Explorer or File Manager to select the following directory: \netjobs\tst2120\n7
2. In Windows Explorer select New, then Folder from the File menu.
3. Name the new Folder or Directory “2120_1” for Port 1, or “2120_2” for Port 2. However, if the system has been configured with a DACR, it uses
DACR_1 and the first 2120 port would be “2120_2”. As such, any subsequent 2120 ports are “2120_3”, “2120_4” etc...
Note:
- Before copying the SPC2120 output file into the TSW/NPU directory structure, rename it from “2120IOn.SLI” to the 2120 CMS file
number without the revision letter. For example, if the CMS file number is “W123456A”, then rename the file from “2120IOn.SLI” to
“W123456.SLI”.

6 Connecting DACRs
This chapter describes how to connect Digital Alarm Communicator Receivers (DACRs) to a TSW PC, using the existing RS232 Serial Port. The five DACR
models that are supported are the Sur-Gard System I, II, III or IV DACR, the Bosch D6600 DACR, the D6100i DACR, the D6100IPv6 DACR and the AES
Intellinet 7705i Receiver. When the TSW is configured as a UL Listed Proprietary Supervising Station, only the Bosch D6600 DACR can be used, and the
DACT format must be programmed as CID.
To meet ULC Compliance Requirements, consider the following:
• With the use of a TSW System and a DACR that is connected using an IP Connection, one of the following UL approved Sur-Gard systems must be
used: System I, II, III or IV DACR.
• If there is a compromise attempt detected by the Sur-Gard DACR, the TSW shall annunciate a trouble with text: P397 DACR PORT 1 LOCAL
RECEIVER TROUBLE.
• In the event this trouble is annunciated, the user should open the text file:
c:\Simplex\TrueSite\TSW\MsgLg.txt
This text file contains more specific information about the trouble. Consult the Sur-Gard manual for additional details and steps to take for this
type of network compromise.
6.1 Configuring the TrueSite Workstation to communicate with DACRs
6.1.1 Adding the DACR port

You must configure the TSW to communicate with the DACR. To start, you must add the DACR port. To do so:
1. Select the Hardware workspace within the TSW Configurator application.
2. Press Add.
3. Select DACR Port.
4. In the DACR Port dialog box, select the COM port that is connected to the DACR. The DACR device must always use the lowest COM port on
the system.
5. Click OK before saving and exiting the Hardware Configuration screen.
6.1.2 Adding DACR accounts and points

Follow the steps that apply depending on the type of communication format being used by the DACR for the panel, and the type of information that
needs to be annunciated at the TSW.
Note: The reporting protocol formats supported by the TSW are: Ademco CID, 3/1, 4-2, BFSK, SIA level 1 and the Bosch D6600's/D6100’s 3/1 and 4/2.
AES only supports Ademco CID.

page 44 579-834 Rev. AT

6.2 Connecting DACRs to the TrueSite Workstation
6.2.1 Adding the Event Account

You need to add an event account if the panel for the account that you are configuring is a format other than CID, or the format is CID but you don't
want to annunciate events at the per point level. In
this configuration, the TSW will indicate a FIRE, PRI2, SUPV, or TROUBLE condition at the panel, but will not indicate the specific device that initiated the
alarm condition.
For a job with an AES, a minimum of 3 accounts are required: one for the receiver, one for the IP link and one for the first subscriber. Each additional
subscriber will require an additional subscriber account, but will share the receiver and IP accounts with all the other subscribers.
To add an event account, do the following:
1. Enter the account number being used by the dialing panel.
2. Enter a label indicating the location of the panel.
Note: When configuring the TSW with an AES Intellinet system you must add the following accounts representing vital AES components,
which are listed in the table below.
Table 6: Vital AES Components
Port Number Account Number Account Label

1 User Defined Account # for AES receiver AES Receiver
1 User Defined Account # for AES IP Link IP Link
6.2.2 Entering points manually

If you want to enter a few points manually and the dialing panel is Contact ID, you must do the following:
2. Enter a label indicating the location of the panel. (This step is only necessary the first time that you enter a point for this account.
Subsequently, the label will be automatically filled once the account number is entered).
3. Enter the CID Group for the point that you are configuring.
4. Enter the CID Point number for the point that you are configuring.
5. Select the device type for how you want to annunciate this device.
6. Select the point type for how you want to annunciate this point.
7. Enter a label to identify the location of the configured point.
Note: For AES, use the following:
Table 7: AES point information
Port # Account # CID Group CID Point Device Type Point Type Point Label
1 User Defined Account # for AES IP Link 0 906 MONB TROUBLE Tamper Switch
6.2.3 Importing CID points

If you want per-point annunciation and have a comma-separated file describing the point information for a CID account, you must do the following:
2. Enter a label to indicate the location of the panel. (This step is only necessary the first time that you enter a point for this account.
Subsequently, the label will automatically be filled once the account number is entered).
3. Select the .csv file to import.
Note: The format of the .csv file is described below.
In order to import Contact-ID points from an external .csv file, the person programming must create a dedicated DACR subdirectory in the IMS node’s
database directory. The general naming scheme for the DACR subdirectory will be:
..\netjobs\<networksite>\<tswnodename>\DACR_1\
Note: All CID account .csv files pertaining to the DACR will be placed into the DACR_1 directory.
The Import file contains the following fields.

<Line #[Optional]><Account # [Optional]>,<CID GROUP[required]>, <CID NUMBER[required]>,
page 45 579-834 Rev. AT

<Point Type[Optional]>, <Label[required]>, <Alarm Category[Optional]>

Fields listed as optional must have the comma inserted for that field but can be left blank other than the comma.
If the point type field is present and it matches a valid IMS point type, that point type will be used. If no point type is present and the Alarm category
field is present, the FIRE, PRI2, SUPV, TROUBLE, or UTILITY point types will be used to match the category assigned. If neither is present, the point will
default to MONB - FIRE.
Category Interpretation.
F (fire) = MONB - Fire
P (priority 2) = MONB - GenPri2
S (supervisory) = MONB - Supv
T (trouble) = MONB - Trouble
U (utility) = MONB - Utility
O (output) = SIGB - SIGNAL
6.2.4 Installing DACR

7.10 Disabling the Reboot Watchdog

If a UL Card (565-283) is installed and you want to exit the TSW application because you plan to run other applications, run the Watchdog32
application from C:\Simplex\TrueSite\TSW\config\Watchdog32.exe to disable the reboot on the UL card. Disabling the reboot watchdog prevents the
PC from rebooting.
If a UL Card (746-189) is installed and you wish the TSW application not to run for an extended period, run the USB UL Watchdog application from: C:
\Simplex\TrueSite\TSW\Client\USBULWatchdog.exe to disable the reboot on the USB UL card. Disabling the reboot watchdog prevents the PC from
rebooting. You should see a command prompt box which informs you if the watchdog was successfully disabled. Press any key to close the window.
7.11 Ethernet switches

An Ethernet switch is a device joining multiple computers together on a single Ethernet network. To connect the computers to the Ethernet switch,
their Ethernet (network) ports are linked with an RJ-45 network cable.
Note: When a TSW PC uses an Ethernet (LAN) port and they are located in separate rooms, a LAN Suppressor (4190-6010) must be installed. Refer to
579-900 4190-6010 LAN Suppressor Installation Instructions for installation instructions for the LAN Suppressor.
An Ethernet switch works by inspecting the data packets exchanged between the different workstations. This enables the Ethernet switch to determine
the source and destination address of each packet, and to forward it accordingly. An Ethernet switch can work in a half or full-duplex mode. Half-
duplex mode means the switch cannot both send and receive data packets at the same time. Full-duplex mode means that the switch can receive and
send data packets simultaneously. In addition, Ethernet switches are capable of connecting network devices operating at different network speeds. For
example, when an Ethernet switch is listed as a 10/100, this means that it is capable of connecting to 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s network devices on the
same Ethernet ports.
The Simplex Fire Alarm Ethernet Switch (FAES) is an Ethernet switch that is UL-listed for fire alarm use (UL864, 9th edition). It will be used with the
TSW Remote Clients with control capabilities (Ack/Silence/Reset). This device connects multiple compliant PCs together to form an Ethernet network.
The network makes it possible to monitor and control the functions of a fire alarm system from the different TSW Remote Clients connected to the
network. There are three FAES models:
1. Model 4190-6050 which supports eight copper Ethernet ports.
2. Model 4190-6054 which supports four copper and two single-mode fiber Ethernet ports.
3. Model 4190-6055 which supports four copper and two multi-mode fiber Ethernet ports.
The 4190-6051, 4190-6056 and 4190-6057 Ethernet switches will be used with TSW Remote Clients with view-only capabilities. It can perform the
same tasks as the 4190-6050, 4190-6054 and 4190-6055 FAES, except without the earth fault detection functionality.
page 64 579-834 Rev. AT

7.12 Installing the Ethernet Switches

This section describes how to install the 4190-6051, 4190-6056 and 4190-6057 Ethernet switches.
Please see EISwitch Installation Guide for details on the installation and configuration of this Ethernet switch.
A UL1481-listed, regulated, power-limited 24 VDC power supply, or the aux power output of a UL-listed Simplex fire alarm control unit, is required to
power the Ethernet switch.
The connection between the EISwitch Ethernet switch and the TSW workstations is shown in Figure 52 and Figure 53. The LAN Suppressors are used
to protect the LAN against transients in the wiring. Up to eight nodes can be connected to the switch, one for each Ethernet port. All wiring is power-
limited.
Note: The 4190-6056 , 4190-6051 and 4190-6057 switches are not listed to be used for control panel functions.

5. Tighten the screws snugly against the cabinet and insert screws in the two remaining holes at the bottom of the cabinet.
6. Put the cabinet door back on and re-attach the ground strap.
page 69 579-834 Rev. AT

7.13.3 Wiring
All field wiring connections to the FAES, except for the fiber optic cables, are made using terminal blocks and RJ-45 jacks located on the EFDM board
inside the FAES (see Figure 57 and Figure 63). Fiber optic connections on models with fiber optic ports are done through SC connectors, located
directly on the EIS6-100T/FC or EIS6-100T/FCS Ethernet switch inside the FAES (Figure 58). The different field wiring connections are for:
• The network
• The power
• The IDNet
• The trouble relay
All cables are routed through the two knock-out holes located at the bottom of the enclosure.
Important:
For radiated and conducted electromagnetic disturbances immunity to CE specified levels, ferrite beads are required on each of the Ethernet cables
(with the exception of the fiber optic cables), Power, and IDNet cables. All the ferrite beads must be placed in a three gang junction box (H3BD 3/4 1
from Thomas & Betts Limited, or equivalent) closed with a cover (3 GCB from Thomas & Betts, or equivalent). All field wiring must pass through the
beads in the junction box and then go to the FAES.
Use the ferrite bead’s kit 4100-5129 for each cable. Loop the cable once through the bead as shown in Figure 57. If pre-terminated Ethernet cables are
used, the connector will have to be removed and reinstalled after the cable is passed through the bead.
Figure 56: Ferrite bead

Note: 4190-6010 LAN Suppressors are suggested in Figure 58. If the Remote Client is located within the same room as the TSW, the LAN Transient
Suppressor is not required.
7.13.3.1 Network Connection

The eight RJ-45 ethernet jacks (J1) on the EFDM (Figure 59) are used to connect the TSW PC to its Remote Client PCs. If a model with fiber optic ports
is used, only RJ-45 jacks 1 through 4 are used. The fiber optic SC connectors located on the EIS6-100T/FC(S) switch are used to connect the fiber optic
cables to the fiber optic ports. All of the network connections should pass through the knock-out hole 1.
The network circuits have the following characteristics:
• Supports up to 8 copper ports or 4 copper and 2 fiber optic, 1300nm, ports, on models with fiber optic ports.
• The models with fiber ports support either multimode or single-mode fibers, according to the FAES model selected.
• Each copper port supports 10Mb/s (10 base-T) and 100Mb/s (100 base-Tx) connections.
• Each fiber port on models with fiber ports supports 100 Mb/s (100 BASE-FX) connections.
• The Ethernet copper connections are supervised and power-limited.
• The Ethernet copper connections are supervised for a 10K earth impedance.
• The earth fault detection time is up to 32 seconds (excluding the trouble report time to the FACP).

Note:
• If the power supply used to power the switch does not provide a power reset function, a relay IAM module (model 4090-9002) or a similar device
must be used on the switch power line to allow the power cycling.
• For electromagnetic disturbance immunity to CE specified levels, a ferrite bead is required on the power wiring. Refer to the note on
Specifications for the ferrite bead installation instructions.
7.13.3.3 Supervised IAM Circuit Connection

Earth fault detection on Ethernet copper lines can be reported to a fire alarm panel through the IDNet. The IDNet is connected to the FAES on the
IDNet terminal block (TB3).
The IDNet circuit has the following characteristics:
• The IDNet wiring is supervised and power limited
• The wire should be 18 AWG, twisted pair.
When connecting the supervised IAM circuit to the IDNet network, the IDNet cable should be passed through the knock-out hole 2. The IDNet wire
must be attached to the + and - of the IDNet’s terminal block (TB3) on the EDFM, as shown in Figure 61.
Note: Refer to documents 579-331: 4100U Redundant Master Controller Installation Instructions and 579-572: 4090-9051 Supervised IAM Installation
Instructions for installation instructions and for more information on supervised IAMs.

Note: For electromagnetic disturbance immunity to CE specified levels, a ferrite bead is required on the IDNet wiring. Refer to the note on Specifica-
tions for the ferrite beads installation instructions.
7.13.3.4 Common Trouble Relay Connection

An earth fault can also be reported through the trouble relay’s dry contacts, which are available on the trouble relay terminal block (TB2). The trouble
relay terminal block (Figure 62) on the EFDM is composed of the NO (normally open), the CMN (common), and the NC (normally closed) connections.
When an earth fault is detected, the NO contact shorts with the CMN contact. When there is no fault detected, the NC contact shorts with the CMN.
The trouble relay circuit has the following characteristics:
• It must be used with a power-limited power supply.
• The relay contact electrical ratings are 0.3A at 125 VAC resistive and 1 A at 30 VDC resistive.
• The wire size on the trouble relay terminal block should be from 12 AWG to 18 AWG.
page 75 579-834 Rev. AT

Figure 62: Trouble Relay connection
7.13.4 Operation
The FAES is UL-listed as a control unit accessory. It is a level 2 Ethernet switch classified as a switching hub. It acts as a bridge between the various
data links and has the ability to segment the Ethernet network in separate collision domains. It allows the provision of simultaneous data exchange on
different data links, which results in more network throughputs.
The FAES works in a half or full-duplex mode. Half-duplex mode means the switch can either send or receive data packets at a time. Full-duplex mode
means that the switch can both send and receive data packets at the same time. The FAES will first inspect the data packets exchanged between the
different workstations to determine the source and destination address of each packet. It can then forward them accordingly.
The FAES supports 10Base-T/100Base-TX, and optionally 100Base-FX, signaling which means that it can connect network devices operating at 10 and
100Mbps speeds. The FAES provides eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet copper ports, or four 100/100 Mbps copper and two 100 Mbps fiber optic ports
on models with fiber optic ports. If additional ports are required or if the network’s reach needs to be extended, two or more FAES can be connected
together.
The FAES integrates an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Ethernet switch from Contemporary Controls Systems Inc., models EIS8-100T,
EIS6-100T/FC or EIS6-100T/FCS depending on the FAES model, along with an Earth Fault Detection Module (EFDM) into a single enclosure. The
EIS8-100T, or other Ethernet switch models, performs all Ethernet related functions and the EFDM performs the earth fault monitoring on the Ethernet
RX and TX copper pairs. An earth fault is detected when the impedance between the Ethernet copper lines and the earth is 10K or less. The FAES
reports earth faults through LEDs, through a built-in supervised IAM and through a relay’s dry contacts.
Note: No software management is required to configure the FAES. Jumpers are available in the EIS8-100T (EIS6-100T/FC(S)) switch to allow some
basic Ethernet configurations. The EIS8-100T (EIS6-100T/FC(S)) box has to be opened to access those jumpers. Refer to the EISwitch Installation Guide
(TD000500- 0IK) for information about user-adjustable jumpers.
7.13.5 Functionalities
The FAES is composed of status LEDs and two configuration DIP switches. LEDs are found on both the EFDM board and on the EIS8-100T, or
EIS6-100T/FC(S), switch. The configuration Dip Switches are found on the EFDM board (refer to Figure 63).

7.13.5.2 EFDM Configuration: Earth Monitoring Disable Switch (SW2)

The earth mon disable (SW2) switch (Figure 65) on the EFDM is used to enable or disable the earth fault monitoring for each RJ-45 Ethernet port.
Position 1 on the switch corresponds to Ethernet port 1 and position 8 corresponds to Ethernet port 8. When the switch is set to ON, the earth fault
monitoring is disabled.
Figure 65: Earth Monitoring Disable Switch and Earth Monitoring Disable LED
Note:
1. If two FAES are connected together, the earth fault monitoring needs to be disabled for the port connecting the two switches. This only
needs to be done on one of the two switches.
2. The Earth Fault Detection must also be disabled on the four unused copper ports (5-8) of a model with fiber ports.

8.4 Verify printer operation

To verify event printing at a supervised printer, the simulator can be used to bring in an alarm and verify that the event is printed. It is also
recommended that a test sheet (screen print, report, etc.) be printed from the TSW to any available configured Windows printer, including any network
printers if the TSW PC has a TCP/IP card connected to a Windows network, to verify proper operation.
page 81 579-834 Rev. AT

9 Connecting to TFXnet
This chapter discusses the general requirements for the TFXnet support at the TSW. The TSW PC (and not the remote client PC) provides the physical
connection to a TFXnet network.
9.1 Connecting the TSW to a TFXnet

The TSW replaces the FireGraph workstation on a TFXnet fire network. The TFX/TFXnet points are integrated within the TSW. The TFX/TFXnet-related UI,
annunciation, and control functionality apply to both the TSW and the remote client software.
9.1.1 Configuration prerequisites

The following FireGraph system information is required.
• A copy of the compiled Grab-It project file set for the FireGraph currently installed and running at the customer site.
Note: The Grab-It project file set will be converted by the FireGraph Conversion Wizard into a form ready for Simplex configuration tools and the TSW.
• Optionally, the CONSYS files associated with the FireGraph currently installed and running at the customer site.
• The configuration file sets must meet a minimum revision level for Grab-It and CONSYS. Refer to Table 27.
Table 27: Minimum revision label
Configuration tool Version

CONSYS V 12.4 or V 13.1
Grab-It 3.45
9.1.2 Creating a TSW Job to replace the FireGraph

For a TSW to work on a TFXnet, you must first convert a FireGraph Grab-It project into a TSW configuration format. There are some limitations and pre-
conditions for the conversion. For example, you can add a TFXnet as one of seven loops to an existing TSW job. The following 10 steps are a quick start
guide on how to create a TSW job to replace the FireGraph. Refer to document 579-1035 for the detailed steps.
If you already have an existing Simplex network, go directly to step 4. Otherwise:
1. Install the TSW software and configuration tools.
2. Install the Network Programmer
3. Copy to the PC the compiled version of the Grab-It project file set representing the FireGraph to convert):
4. Create a fire network using the Network Programmer A new network database for TFXnet is created
5. Convert a Grab-It project file set representing the FireGraph to replace, by launching the Conversion Wizard from the Network Programmer.
The Conversion Wizard creates the TSW configuration database and adds the TFXnet port to the TSW configuration. Job configuration data
usable by Simplex tools, which represents the TFXnet network, the TFX nodes, and the TSW node replacing the FireGraph
6. Once the conversion is done, you can view the resulting set of nodes for the TFXnet:
a. Launch the TFXnet Editor to view or edit the public points available for use at TSW, the mapping of FireGraph Priorities to TSW Response,
etc
b. Adjust, if required, the network-related settings such as TFXnet packet options, subnet settings, etc.
7. Finalize the configuration by launching the TSW Configurator to:
a. Tag external TFX points to monitor (Use the Point Config “Add Externals” feature).
b. Optionally update the TSW job configuration to support other Simplex features. Example of Simplex features are Simplex fire network
loops and external 4100U points, DACR, TCP/IP client/server, etc.
c. Launch the Graphics Editor for linking external TFX points to graphic icons by importing the site-specific AutoCAD files to the TSW job
configuration and assigning the converted TFX points to device icons on the graphics screens.
d. Set up for TFXnet network supervisor, as appropriate, and System Reset operation
e. Build the TSW job.
8. Disconnect the FireGraph PC from the TFXnet network.
9. Install the TSW PC with the built TSW job and connect the TLT-530 (part of 4100-6068) card to the PC serial port.

9.1.3 Physical network setup

The TSW can be configured to support multiple fire networks at the same time and thereby stand as the common node providing general status from
all networks. The TSW allows a configurable combination of Simplex fire network, a TFXnet, and DACR. The TFXnet network is counted as part of the
seven fire network capacity of the TSW.

10 Appendix A. Setting up a dedicated fire alarm LAN

When using one of the Simplex Ethernet Switches (4190-6050, 4190-6054, 4190-6056, 4190-6051, 4190-6055, or 4190-6057) or wiring directly from
the TSW to the unsupervised Remote Client, the following instructions explain how to connect TSW Client PCs to the TSW Server PC using Microsoft
Windows Networking.
Note: The Ethernet switches can provide up to 8 wired Ethernet connections. The TSW Server PC can use one connection and the TSW Client PCs can
use the remaining connections as necessary.
1. Connect all the TSW PCs to the Ethernet switch or wire directly from the TSW to the unsupervised Remote Client using Cat-5 Ethernet cables.
The Simplex Configured PC has 2 LAN ports. Either port can be used.
2. If necessary, change the name of the PCs (each PC is done separately). This step can be skipped if your PCs already have unique names.
Invoke Control Panel: Start > Control Panel .
a. Double Click the System icon.
b. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, select Change Settings.
c. A tabbed dialog is displayed; select the Computer Name tab.
d. Select Change…
e. The Computer Name/Domain Changes dialog is displayed. The default name for Simplex configured PC is Simplex-. Change the name to
something meaningful for the TSW PC. The TSW Client PC name(s) must be different than the TSW Server PC name.
f. Optionally, change the name of the Windows Workgroup. By default, the workgroup name is “WORKGROUP”. If you choose another name,
it must match on all PCs.
g. Click OK and Windows requires a reboot. After reboot, the PC will now have the new name.
3. After the PCs have been renamed and rebooted, use Windows to view the Network. Invoke Windows Explorer ( Programs > Accessories
> Windows Explorer ) and double-click the Network icon (under Folders on the left hand pane). Network Discovery and File Sharing must
be turned ON for all the PCs in order to view the Network. Windows Explorer will display a status message (near the top of the window) if
Network Discovery is OFF. If you see this message, click the message to change the setting to turn it ON. This must be done on all of the TSW
PCs in the dedicated network.
4. Verify all PCs have valid/unique IP addresses (automatically assigned from the Ethernet switch):
a. Invoke Control Panel and click Network and Internet.
b. Click Network and Sharing Center.
c. Click Change adapter settings in the left-hand pane.
d. In the Network Connections window, double click the icon for the active (connected) LAN. The status may appear as “Limited or no
connectivity”. This is normal since the connection is limited to this dedicated network.
e. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, highlight the item Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Click Properties.
f. In the dialog box Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties, verify that the following options are selected:

Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
WARNING
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).
Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended.
1 Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The
top mounting slots should be located 6.2" (157 mm) above the desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1.
Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud
centerlines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2.5" (64 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it
using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (DD) as shown in figure 1.2.
NOTE: Wall plate may be mounted up to 4" (102 mm) off center as shown in figure 1.1.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
WARNING
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) of actual
concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount
in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM
C-90 specifications. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a
hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware
and components.

Installing Tilt Brackets
WARNING
• Tighten screws so adapter brackets are firmly attached. Do not tighten with excessive force. Overtightening
can cause stress damage to screws, greatly reducing their holding power and possibly causing screw heads to
become detached. Tighten to 40 in. • lb (4.5 N.M.) maximum torque.
• If screws don't get three complete turns in the screen inserts or if screws bottom out and bracket is still not tightly
secured, damage may occur to screen or product may fail.
To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the screen. Place
2 screen face side down. If screen has knobs on the back, remove them to allow the adapter brackets to be attached.
Place adapter brackets (BB or CC) on back of screen, align to holes, and center on back of screen as shown
below. Attach the adapter brackets to the back of the screen using the appropriate combination of screws, multi-
washers, and spacers as shown in figure 2.1 or 2.2.
NOTE: Top and bottom mounting holes on screen must be used for attaching brackets.
NOTE: Be sure to attach tilt brackets with handles facing outward as shown below. Verify that all holes are properly
aligned, and then tighten screws using a phillips screwdriver.

12 Appendix C. TSW RAID 1 support

RAID is a general term for computer data storage schemes that can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. “RAID 1” is the RAID
scheme that mirrors the contents of the disks, providing an identical copy of the data in the case of a catastrophic hard drive failure. Because the
content of each disk in the RAID 1 scheme is identical to that of every other disk in the scheme, a system that has experienced a drive failure may
continue to operate unimpeded, provided the other drive(s) in the RAID 1 scheme are not affected.
RAID 1 Support on the TSW is as follows:
• The TSW 2.02 or later software integrates RAID event monitoring, notification and logging when the TSW software is running on supported, RAID
1-equipped, Comark hardware.
• TSW 2.02 or later software detects and reports various RAID errors.
• All basic RAID functionality, including data copying and automatic switchover after a failure are actually handled in the RAID hardware and
associated software instead of the TSW software itself.
Note:
1. The Incident Commander and TSW Comark i7 PC may be pre-installed with the Intel RAID software. In case of re-install, use the Comark
Drivers CD and run the file SetupRST.exe from the directory \[OS type]\RAID\.
2. The TSW Comark Core2Duo PC is pre-installed with the VIA V-RAID Software Utilities (Rev V590A). In case of re-install, use the Peripheral
Product Driver and install from the CD directory \Driver\MP-6421\Windows_V-RAID_V590A\.

13 Appendix D. Backup Utility

The TSW Installation includes a utility which can be configured to automatically backup the primary hard drive, including TSW job data, to the
secondary hard drive. See Figure 76 for the default Backup Utility settings, these are configurable. Launch the backup utility before launching TSW.
Note: If your PC is not equipped with RAID, use the backup utility.
For a non Captive mode system, the TSW Runtime and the Backup Utility can run at the same time without a restart. For a Captive System the Backup
Utility can be launched before the TSW, but the TSW Runtime application must be shut down and restarted to make any changes to the Backup Utility.
Figure 76: Backup Utility
Note:
• The Backup Utility supports file backups, but not system/full disk backups. If there is a failure on the C: drive, a Windows reinstall is required when
not using RAID.
• The TSW Backup Utility can be configured to automatically backup specified directories including TSW job data to the secondary hard drive. If
there is a failure on the C: drive, the Backup utility ensures that all TSW data is preserved on the D: drive
