Section 4 Operating Basics of FIRSTVISION
Experiment with FIRSTVISION to gain a basic familiarity with its operation. This helps you ensure
F
IRSTVISION is set up and configured correctly.
4.1 Normal Operation (No Events Being Reported)
When FIRSTVISION software application is started take note of some of the user interface
characteristics, some of the displayed elements are a result of information defined using the
Configuration Tool.
• The Gateway Connection Icon in the upper left corner of the user interface indicates whether
F
IRSTVISION is connected to your gateway (a red X displayed inside the icon means that
F
IRSTVISION is not connected).
• Corresponding to each floor in the building a Floor button (inverted style means it is selected).
• The floor chosen as the lowest floor in the Configuration Tool’s Building Layout tree hierarchy
is displayed with icons and its floor plan background. Also if applicable displayed on that
floor are icons defined for elevators, stairs (Multi-Level icons) and HAZMAT area or sprinkler
shutoff (Other icon).
• A row of larger miscellaneous buttons across the top; more information about them later in this
section.
!
WARNING: Gateway Connection Icon with a Red X
When you see that the gateway disconnected (red x in icon), FIRSTVISION will not receive events. So
it is absolutely necessary to restore connectivity to the gateway to ensure the most accurate and up
to date information is being displayed. Refer to “Investigating Gateway Disconnection” on page 34
for more information.
