Section 2 ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool
Programming
2.1 Introduction
The Configuration Tool is used to customize FIRSTVISION’s graphical user interface (GUI) to your
buildings’ fire systems. An authorized event responder will use your customized GUI to identify
the location of and respond to events that FIRSTVISION annunciates.
After your GUI design is completed, you will copy your exported GUI design (site.xml, Floorplans
folder, and Resources folder for campuses with customized icons) to FIRSTVISION, overwriting that
same file and folder contents on FIRSTVISION. The copying function can be accomplished using
various connection methods. Your copy method will be contingent on your computer connection.
• If FIRSTVISION and your computer are both part of a TCP/IP network you can copy your GUI
design to FIRSTVISION over that network.
• The USB connector on the FIRSTVISION can be used (i.e. connect a flash memory stick and
copy your GUI design files).
NOTE: You must reboot the FIRSTVISION machine any time you update site.xml, in order for the
FIRSTVISION application to use the updated site information.
After you have copied your GUI design files and rebooted, verify that building information such as
floor layouts and icon locations are displaying appropriately on FIRSTVISION.

2.6 Before Starting Your Campus Design

Although you can stop and return to your campus design at any time during your development
process, you may want to create floor plan background graphics before you start using the
Configuration Tool. Also, you should acquire information about your buildings and site at some
point. Your building design and subsequently entered information will be displayed as information
that is important to the event responder using FIRSTVISION.
2.6.1 Configuration Data to Acquire Before Starting
NOTE: It is recommended that you be capable of using terminology familiar to an event

responder (Firefighter) when you are using the Configuration Tool to design your campus’ life
safety monitoring system that is displayed on FIRSTVISION.
You will need to have this information available to complete your building information
configuration tasks.
Building Properties:
 Required Information:
The Label field is the only required field, as indicated by the asterisk which appears next to it.
 Highly Recommended Information:

• Buildings’ street addresses.

Figure 2.3 Icons
Shutoff Icons
Five icons are provided to mark shutoff controls for various systems. These are:
• Gas Shutoff
• Halon Shutoff
• HVAC Shutoff
• Power Shutoff
• Sprinkler Shutoff

Before Starting Your Campus Design ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool Programming
 System Shutoff Contact Information
Check or clear the box beside the Contact Type column, to select which contact rows are displayed
when the icon representing an individual shutoff device is selected from within the FIRSTVISION
application. Choose from the Building Contacts entered for this building (see “” on page 13).
Contact types which would normally be appropriate are selected by default. For example, by
default the Water Company contact is shown for a sprinkler shutoff.
 Custom Label
You may enter a description of the shutoff device in the Custom Label field. Information in the
Custom Label field of a Primary Shutoff icon appears in the Building Properties display in the
FIRSTVISION application. This field is limited to 40 characters. For more information, refer to
“Building Primary Shutoff Designation” on page 16.

 Building Primary Shutoff Designation
A maximum of one shutoff device, per shutoff device type, per building can function as the
building primary shutoff. Information in the Custom Label field of a Primary Shutoff icon appears
in the Building Properties display in the FIRSTVISION application.
Check the box beside Primary Shutoff for the Building to make a device function as the primary
shutoff device, of its type, for the building. If the Primary Shutoff for the Building box is checked
in the properties of more than one device of the same type in a building, the last device to have its
properties changed functions as the primary shutoff.
2.6.2 Create Site and Floor Plan Images to Import Before Starting
You will need a graphic editing program for creating and/or resizing the graphics backgrounds. Use
the Configuration Tool to import drawing files (raster or vector) that you created in graphic
software applications for your buildings’ floor plans and the site plan background. The better the
resolution of the background in the Configuration Tool the better the resolution on FIRSTVISION.
The pixel width of your graphic determines the sizing of the background in FIRSTVISION’s window.
FIRSTVISION’s window, where your building design is displayed, has these pixel dimensions:
960 x 768 pixels
The supported graphic formats that can be imported into the Configuration Tool as a background
are:
• Vector Files
• Windows® Meta Files (.WMF) file types can be imported into the Configuration Tool. The
WMF file type typically degrades less in visual display quality than a raster file when it is
rescaled; so it is the preferred file type for floorplan backgrounds.
• Raster Files
• Bit Map (BMP), Graphic Image Format (GIF), and Joint Photographic Experts (JPG) files
types can be imported into the Configuration Tool. However those files types degrade more
in visual display quality than a vector file.
Tips for Creating Background Images
• Eliminate white space around the image.
• Create or scale vector images to fit within a 13.5" width x 10.5" height image area.
• After scaling a vector image, adjust line weights and font sizes as necessary.
• The Configuration Tool scales images to fit the 960 x 768 display window size.

Configuration Tool Operation Descriptions ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool Programming

2.7.1 About Starting the Configuration Tool
NOTE: If you have old building site designs from a previous version of FIRSTVISION but have not
yet migrated them to FIRSTVISION Campus, please refer to “Configuration Tool Database” on
page 10 before continuing.
• The installation program has added an entry for the Configuration Tool in the Windows Start
 All Programs menu.
• The first time you start the Configuration Tool, you must select <Create New Campus> to open
the Configuration Tool; it will not start unless you do.
• Each time the Configuration Tool is started you are required to make a choice about whether to
start a new campus design or to open an existing campus design; it will not start unless you do.
Figure 2.4 Start Selection
2.7.2 About Saving and Deleting Campus Designs and Exiting the
Configuration Tool
NOTE: It is recommended that you save your campus design frequently while working with the
Configuration Tool, to safeguard your work.
When a current campus design is being edited a version of it is temporarily stored but it is not
updated until you save the campus design using the Save command (the
C:\FacilitiesMonitoring\FITConfig\fit.mdb file is updated with the Save command).
• To discard unwanted changes to a campus design, use the Exit command.
• To leverage the campus design being edited use the Save Campus As... command.
• To load a saved campus into the configuration tool for modification, use the Open Campus
command.
• To delete an open campus, use the Delete Campus command.

NOTE: An updated version of the campus design’s site.xml file is not created until you export
the campus design. For more information, please refer to “Prepare Your Campus Design for
Copying to FIRSTVISION” on page 45.
2.7.3 About the Graphical User Interface

Display Layout
The Configuration Tool is like many Windows applications. Drop down menus along the top of the
application’s window provide access to various operations and many are used in the procedures in
this manual.
The Configuration Tool GUI viewing areas are defined in this manual as: a Campus Layout tree
and the Building Plan window (where your building design is created that will be displayed on
FIRSTVISION). The Building Plan window’s title (that displays at the top of the window)
corresponds to the selected location in the Campus Layout tree.
Changing the View of Campus Layout Tree
The Campus Layout tree view is very similar to Windows Explorer. You can:
• Drag and drop the separator bar left and right between the tree and the plan window to expand/
contract the view of the tree/plan.
• Click the plus or minus box to expand or collapse the tree.
Figure 2.6 Campus Layout Tree Viewing

Configuration Tool Operation Descriptions ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool Programming
• Sort the objects on each floor.
slide bar
Figure 2.7 Sort Campus Layout Tree
NOTE: Sorting the list of objects on a floor makes the list easier to work with, but does not have
any other effect on the floor or the objects.
• Use the slide bar (which appears when the tree grows too large for the page) to move the
display up and down in an expanded Campus Layout tree.
Icon and Campus Layout Tree Interdependences
Clicking on a device in the Campus Layout tree will display its respective icon (with handles) in the
Building Plan window. Clicking on an icon in the Building Plan window highlights the device.
NOTE: Icon handles may also be used to resize individual objects. See the discussion under
“How To Add and Define the Properties for the Devices for Each Floor in a Building” on page 29.
Displaying Icon Labels

Set the viewing option "Labels" for icons if desired. This choice is on or off and its setting is a
retained setting for the application; it is not retained for an individual building design.

NOTE: You may want to do other building design tasks before attempting to design your
campus site plan because the steps you will use to create other components of your building
designs will familiarize you with the steps you will use to create your campus site design.
 How To Add Campus Information

Step 1. Add a site background.
The steps are similar to “Add a Background for Each Floor of a Building” on page 27.
Step 2. Add Other icons and site plan text (Annotation) over the site plan background. For more
information about annotations, see “Add Annotations” on page 37.
Other type icons that can be added to a floor of a building can also be added to the Campus
Site Plan. Some Other type icons are not appropriate for the site plan and can not be used.
These steps are similar to “Add Other Information” on page 37.
Figure 2.12 Add Annotation

Step 3. Save your campus design and continue with “Add and Define the Properties for the Levels
in a Building” on page 24.
2.8.2 Add and Define the Properties for the Levels in a Building
This task is where you enter the total number of floors in a building and provide additional
information about each of those floors. A floor entry will correspond to a “numbered” button icon
on FIRSTVISION. The floor entry at the bottom on the Campus Layout tree will be displayed as the
lowest floor button in the floor button column on FIRSTVISION. It will also always be the floor that
displays on FIRSTVISION at power up or when FIRSTVISION is restarted.
NOTE: It is absolutely critical to understand how entries made in any Properties window appear
in the Campus Layout tree, and how both relate to what is displayed on FIRSTVISION.
After your campus design is exported and copied to FIRSTVISION, you will see how Properties
entries relate to the Campus Layout tree and the Building Plan window (see Figure 2.13,
“Configuration Tool Floor Entries”). If your Campus Layout tree does not exhibit the needed or
your desired hierarchy; see “Verify Your Campus Design is Correct in the Campus Layout Tree” on
page 42 for details on modifying its hierarchy.
Figure 2.13 Configuration Tool Floor Entries
2.8.3 FIRSTVISION Action and Its Relationship to This Configuration

Tool Entry
When the event responder touches the numbered icon, it displays the corresponding floor plan and
graphic icons on that floor. In the following figure the example building is a high-rise type
building. When a floor range button is touched, the individual buttons for each floor in the range
will display and the lowest floor in the range will display in the adjacent window.

The range buttons are automatically calculated by the software application; the range cannot be set
in the Configuration Tool or manipulated in FIRSTVISION itself. For example, a maximum of
eleven individual floor buttons in one column will display; with the addition of a 12th floor, your
building’s range of buttons will be automatically calculated and be grouped similar to the buttons as
shown in following figure. A maximum of 99 floors can be entered.
Figure 2.14 FIRSTVISION Display Example: High-Rise Building Floor Buttons

How To Define the Properties for the Levels in Your Building

The flexibility of the Configuration Tool enables you to either create a representative entry for all
of the floors in a building and then modify their properties, or add one floor and then modify its
properties before adding another floor. It is recommended that you use simple “floor descriptions”.
 Add a Floor
Step 1. From the Main Menu, click Graphics  Add Floor. A default Floor name will display in
the Campus Layout tree.
Step 2. Repeat the this process until the desired number of floors has been added.
NOTE: Floors in the Campus Layout tree can be dragged and dropped or cut and pasted to
change their position in the tree. The Floor Label Property field should be renumbered to match
its new position.
Figure 2.15 Add Floor
 Enter Information About a Floor

Step 1. Right-click a floor name displayed in the Campus Layout tree, and then click Properties
in the menu that appears. The Floor Properties window opens.
Step 2. Enter the information about the floor.
• A Floor Label entry (4 character maximum) is required, as indicated by the asterisk.
Duplicate Floor Labels entries are not allowed.
• Floor Descriptions are recommended but not required.
NOTE: Remember, this information is displayed at FIRSTVISION and must be interpreted by the
event responder.

Figure 2.16 Add Floor and Modify Floor Properties
Step 3. Click Apply (save/window remains open) or OK (save/window closes) to enter the
information into the campus database.
Step 4. Save your campus design and continue with "Add a Background for Each Floor of a
Building".
2.8.4 Add a Background for Each Floor of a Building

This task is where you add an image of the floor plan to correspond to the floor in a building.
FIRSTVISION Action and Its Relationship to This Configuration Tool Entry
When an event responder touches a floor number icon on FIRSTVISION this floor plan background
will display as the background.
Figure 2.17 FIRSTVISION Display Example: Floor Plan Background
How To Add a Background for Each Floor of a Building

This background image is created in another software application and imported into your campus
design. Refer to “Create Site and Floor Plan Images to Import Before Starting” on page 16 for
more information.
Step 1. Click the name of a floor displayed Campus Layout tree.

Step 2. From the main menu select Graphics  Add Background.
Figure 2.18 Add Background Example
Step 3. Use the Windows Explorer to locate and select the desired background image. The
background image is added in the Building Plan window.
A background image with a maximum size 960 x 768 pixels fits the FIRSTVISION window
properly. If your background image is different from that size, then the Configuration
Tool will scale the image to fit the width of the window.
NOTE: Once the background is added into the Configuration Tool there is no electronic linkage
to that file. If changes are made to a background file and it is saved over the existing background
file, the outdated background must be deleted and then the new version must be added using the
Add Background command.
Step 4. Position the background image exactly the same for each floor in a building using a drag
and drop method.
Positioning all the floor plan backgrounds at the same screen position ensures viewing
consistency when navigating between floors views on FIRSTVISION. This also ensures
Multi-level icons (elevators, stairs, etc.) are aligned consistently between floors.
Step 5. Save your campus design and continue with "Add and Define Properties for the Devices
on Each Floor in a Building".
2.8.5 Add and Define Properties for the Devices on Each Floor in a
Building
This task is where you add and define the properties for all addressable devices on a given floor in
a building and then position their corresponding icons over the floor plan background.
FIRSTVISION Action and Its Relationship to This Configuration Tool Entry
When the event responder touches a floor number icon that is indicating it has an event taking
place, the addressable device that registers the first event will display and stay on. Any subsequent
addressable devices that registers an off normal event will begin flashing in the order they
experience their event.
Addressable device graphic icons are not displayed on FIRSTVISION unless they have registered an
off normal condition. When they are displayed touching them will display the information
identifying the device.
• The Custom Label is displayed if there is one.

• Otherwise, the Database Label is displayed.
Figure 2.19 FIRSTVISION Display Example: Smoke Detectors in Alarm
How To Add and Define the Properties for the Devices for Each Floor in a
Building
You will need information about all the addressable devices in order to complete this task.

CAUTION: Camera Without DVR

! Do not add cameras to a campus unless there are DVRs for them to connect to. Otherwise,
FIRSTVISION will not go into screen saver mode.
NOTE: If you have a VeriFire database for an NFS-320, NFS/NFS2-640, NFS/NFS2-3030, or

AM1010/AFP2020 panel; the Device Data properties can be automatically extracted to populate
the Node, Sub-Node, and Address fields. The "Custom Label" field will also be extracted.

Step 4. Set the viewing option "Database Labels" for the devices icons if desired. This choice is
on or off and its setting is a retained setting for the application; it is not retained for an
individual campus design. The database label of an annotation is always displayed (the
label is the text of the annotation itself).
Figure 2.23 View Labels
Step 5. If desired, use the handles on object icons to change the size of the icon as it will appear in
FIRSTVISION. Each object retains its own icon size. For example, you may have both small
smoke detector icons and large smoke detector icons on the same floor plan. Resized icons
retain their original proportions.
Step 6. If you want to move or relocate a device icon to another floor; refer to “To Relocate an
Object(s) from One Floor to Another Floor” on page 44.
Step 7. Save your campus design and continue with "Add and Define Building Contents and
Apparatuses".
2.8.6 Add and Define Building Contents and Apparatuses

This task is where you add and define the properties for building facets, special materials, and
apparatuses on a floor. You then position their graphic icon at their location over the floor plan
background for each floor in a building.
Building Contents and Apparatuses graphic icons are defined using these menu selections:
• Multi-Level—i.e. building facets: stairs, elevator location with floors served
• Other—i.e. special materials and apparatuses: hazardous materials, You Are Here (where
FIRSTVISION is located)

FIRSTVISION Action and Its Relationship to These Configuration Tool Entries

When the event responder touches a floor number icon that is indicating that an off normal event is
taking place, these Building Contents and Apparatuses graphic icons assist them with identifying
their locations and their proximity to the off normal event. The Building Contents and Apparatuses
graphic icons are always displayed at their location over the floor plan on FIRSTVISION.

Database Label field will be updated with Label, Extended Label and Zone Label information from
the VeriFire Database.
2.10.1 Overview
VeriFire Database Import Recommendation
It is recommend that you start with a blank building design when importing a VeriFire database.
However, it is not absolutely necessary that you do so. After you import your VeriFire database the
addressable device graphic icons created during the import may need to be cut and pasted
throughout floors in your building design.
After you import a VeriFire database, a new floor is added to the Campus Layout tree.
• That new floor can be renamed and repositioned in the Campus Layout tree (refer to “Verify
Your Campus Design is Correct in the Campus Layout Tree” on page 42).
• Other graphic icons and a floor plan background can be added to the new floor (refer to
“Creating the Campus Design that is Displayed on FIRSTVISION” on page 21).
VeriFire Database Import Icons
The following table shows the default icon that will be assigned when a VeriFire database is
imported. You can not change that icon usage. To use a different icon, you will have to delete the
default icon and manually add the device back into (define its properties) the campus layout using
the desired icon.

2.10.2 How To Import a VeriFire Database into Your Campus

Design
Step 1. Click Graphics  Add Building to create a blank building design.
Figure 2.44 Create Blank Building Design to Import VeriFire Database
Step 2. Right-click the new building name, and then select Import Devices from DB from the
menu that appears.

Step 3. Select the name of the network to which the devices in the VeriFire database are assigned.
Step 4. Use Windows Explorer to locate and select the desired VeriFire database.
Step 5. Click Open.
Figure 2.45 Find VeriFire Database to Import
Step 6. In the left pane, click each node to be imported and move it to the right pane by
clicking .
Figure 2.46 Select Nodes for Importing
Step 7. Click OK.

The software application adds a new floor to the building and populates it with the
VeriFire devices. This invalidates the hierarchy in the Campus Layout tree that is
absolutely critical when it is exported. For information on how to change the Campus
Layout tree hierarchy see “Verify Your Campus Design is Correct in the Campus Layout
Tree” on page 42.
Figure 2.47 Imported VeriFire Database Example
NOTE: Importing a VeriFire database creates floors and puts the addressable device graphic
icons in these floors. The description of those floors is "New Floor" and the labels of the floors are
sequenced from "AA", "AB", "AC" --- "AZ", "BA" etc. These labels then can be numbered and
located to match your campus layout.
Step 8. It may be necessary to relocate the VeriFire database addressable device icons created in
this procedure to their respective floor(s). Do so by performing the steps in “Relocating
VeriFire or RapidEye Devices to Their Building and Floor on a Campus” on page 55.
2.10.3 How To Import a RapidEye Database into Your Campus

Design
Only databases created with these DVR versions can be imported into the Configuration Tool:
• RapidEye™ Multi Media LT V7
• RapidEye™ Multi Media DSP V7
• RapidEye™ Multi Media DSP V8
Step 1. Right-click a building name, and then select Import Cameras from DB from the menu
that appears.
Step 2. Select the network to which the devices in the RapidEye database are assigned.
Step 3. Use Windows Explorer to locate and select the desired RapidEye database
(RemCentral.mdb).
Step 4. Click Open.
Figure 2.48 Find RapidEye Database to Import

Step 5. In the left pane, click each camera to be imported and move it to the right pane by
clicking .
Figure 2.49 Select Cameras for Importing
Step 6. Click OK.

The software application adds a new floor to the building and populates it with the
cameras. This invalidates the hierarchy in the Campus Layout tree that is absolutely
critical when it is exported. For information on how to change the Campus Layout tree
hierarchy see “Verify Your Campus Design is Correct in the Campus Layout Tree” on
page 42.
Figure 2.50 Imported VeriFire Database Example
NOTE: Importing a RapidEye database creates floors and puts the camera graphic icons in
these floors. The description of those floors is "New Floor" and the labels of the floors are
sequenced from "AA", "AB", "AC" --- "AZ", "BA" etc. These labels then can be numbered and
located to match your campus layout.
Step 7. It may be necessary to relocate the RapidEye database camera icons created in this
procedure to their respective floor(s). Do so by performing the steps in “Relocating
VeriFire or RapidEye Devices to Their Building and Floor on a Campus” on page 55.
2.10.4 Relocating VeriFire or RapidEye Devices to Their Building

and Floor on a Campus
The relocation of objects from one building or floor to another can be managed with the cut and
paste functions or a single icon can be dragged and dropped within the Campus Layout tree. The
following is the cut and paste method.
Step 1. Determine which addressable device graphic icon to cut from the current floor.
• From the main menu, select >View >Object Label to display addressable device graphic
icon labels.
• It might not be as easy to identify an addressable device graphic icon when the Object
Label is selected because of sizing. The Object Label setting is applied to all levels of
your building design.

• Right-click the name of the addressable device graphic icon in the Campus Layout tree.
The device icons handles appear along with a context menu.
Figure 2.51 Identify an Imported VeriFire Addressable Device
Step 2. To relocate a device graphic icon:

• Click an icon to be relocated.
• To select multiple icons: press and hold the Shift key and click other icons.
• Press the Esc key to deselect all icons selected to be cut.
Figure 2.52 Cut the Imported VeriFire Addressable Device or RapidEye Camera
Step 3. Right-click one of the selected objects to display the list of choices and select Cut Object
from the list. A colored border appears on the bottom and right side of the icon and
scissors appear adjacent to selected icons in the Campus Layout tree to denote that the
icon is prepared to be cut.
Figure 2.53 Cut Object Scissor Displayed

Step 4. Right-click the floor in the Campus Layout tree where you want to paste the objects and
select Paste Object from the list of choices. The pasted objects appear in the Campus
Layout tree and the Building Plan window.

About the Configuration Tool GUI in a Windows Language Support

Environment
The Configuration Tool graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed in English (menus, field names,
prompts, etc.) when it is used in a supported non-English environment. When the Configuration
Tool is used in a supported non-English Windows environment, text typed into Configuration Tool
fields will be entered in that supported language if the Windows toggling technique to do so is used.
If the "Setting Requirements" are adhered to you can mix English and non-English characters in the
Configuration Tool’s text entry fields like the Custom Label field. If "Setting Requirements" are
adhered to, when the building design is exported from the Configuration Tool and the site.xml file
is installed on FIRSTVISION, FIRSTVISION’s GUI displays the mix of characters.
Mixing of English and non-English characters is accomplished using Window’s techniques that
allow entering such information in a Windows based software application like the Configuration
Tool. Consult Windows information about the techniques used to mix English and non-English
characters in a software application.
