Passive Map Descriptors must be added for each event per panel to be monitored:

// Client Side Map Descriptors

CD – Client Descriptor

Node Name specifies the panel number for which events will be stored.

Notes:

Block Number specifies the starting module number under which points are mapped.

Length specifies the number of points. There are 256 points per module. A length of 1024 holds points for 4 modules.

1All passive Map Descriptors are optional. Specific Map Descriptors may be defined for particular events to be monitored as per the Msg_Type. Should events happen for which no Map Descriptors are defined, error messages will occur on the FieldServer. It may therefore be useful to add dummy Map Descriptors especially for ack responses to prevent nuisance error messages.

2Passive Map Descriptors with Node_Name the same as the poller Map Descriptor will only be able to store events from a panel with the same Node_ID e.g. Node_ID of 1 will only store events from panel 1. To store events from panel 2, it is necessary to add passive Map Descriptors with Node ID of 2 etc. Do not add poller Map Descriptors for other panels.

3Important Note about first alarm point and Data Array Offsets

Most SBT-FSI panels have device point numbers starting at one instead of zero. The FieldServer MXL driver reserves Data Array offset zero for points with device numbers of zero although they are currently not used. Triggering the first alarm point on a MXL panel will thus result in a point status change at Data_Array_Offset of one instead of zero.
