c. Click the box next to “Group these monitors together.”
d. Click OK to display the new monitor arming configuration or Cancel to close the dialog box without displaying the monitor arming configuration. Remember to save and transfer your changes before closing EASY CPU.
After clicking OK, the system will automatically assign the same group number to each monitor in the group. The group number will be the same as the first monitor number in the group.
For example, suppose you create a group comprised of five monitors starting at monitor number 12. The system will assign monitor numbers 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 to the five monitors, but they will share the number 12 as their group number.
Even though monitors are assigned in a contiguous block, the armed monitors can be selectively disarmed by changing the Type field to “Disarmed” for each one that you do not want to be armed. However, you cannot interleave monitor blocks.
