4 Page 1 of Overview The new developed GSTGMC2.0 Graphic Monitor Centre is the new developed software. With friendly interface, the software may support 8 client stations plus local monitor station, making complete monitoring and control. Also with Open Protocol Communication (OPC), the communication with panel can also be integrated into other systems. The related panel types include GST200, GST500 & GST5000. The main features of this highly intelligent package are: The self-reacting communication module automatically maintains data communication with panel. The operator can test the communication at any time to ensure the reliable running of system The communication server connects to panel directly. The monitor stations can be set locally or through LAN or even through WAN. Multi-level password control Simple, direct and complete user graphics view interface, switching between device layouts of different monitoring zones. Pop out layout of abnormal information automatically. Flash the abnormal device(s) in different colours for alarm, plant, fault and isolation. Complete functions of database management and data copy ensure system safety by minimizing possibility of data loss. 2. System Requirement 2.1 Hardware CPU: Minimum free Hard disk: Memory: Pentium III 600 or Higher 2GB 128MB

5 Page 2 of Software Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional 2.3 Configuration The complete system includes FACP (or FACP network), RS232 communication card connecting to FACP, local computer connecting with RS232 card (by serial port), remote computer (optional, Maximum 8) through LAN or WAN. 3. Installation The software setup file is named getgmc.exe. Double click the file and follow the instruction. After installation, there will be 3 (three) allocations. GstGMC2.0 Graphic Designer is for designing the graphic layout, installed on the local computer only. GstGMC2.0 Server is the communication server, installed on the local computer only. This application should be always started. GstGMC2.0 Client is the monitor software, installed to all monitor stations (including local computer). The stations will log onto the server under password control. The server configuration requires a Register Code to setup monitor stations. When it is started the first time, a window will pop out as below: Send the <User Code> to GST, and how many monitor stations required. GST will create the <Register Code>. Input the code to the blank and click <Register>, the software will start.

6 Page 3 of 22 For uninstall the software, either can go to <Control Panel> -- <Add/Remove Software> or run the gstgmc.exe again. The server (GstGMC2.0 Server) is communicating with panel through RS232 communication card, which is same of the defining tool software. For detail operation, please refer to the manual of <GSTDEF2.0 Defining Tool>. The communication card should be always connected between the panel and computer.

It can be changed manually by click right side button. The size should suite the screen resolution Open pre-designed project The file config.xml is saved in the folder of the project name.

8 Page 5 of Save Save currently working project Describe the project The current working database is saved into a separate project folder, named as the <Project name>. The Server simultaneously can work with only one database, which is saved in \Project\ folder. The <Describe> operation will copy all related files including background pictures into the project folder, to synchronize the monitor database and definition database. The <Describe> operation should be done after finishing the complete design, and any modification done to the system, including device definition modification under <defining Tool> Delete project Delete database of the selected project Create a zone The Graphic Monitor will display all pictures of each zone in turn. In case of abnormal, the front page will show the information located zone. The zone name will be displayed at the bottom of each page when rolling. The background picture can be any type of popular picture type, normally converted from AutoCAD project drawing. The picture size should fit the screen resolution. The back colour will fill the space difference between the background picture and pre-setting zone size.
