Configure the IIM

Attach a keyboard and mouse to the IIM device.

Edit the

filter.configure

file to configure the addresses of the INFP IIM that is targeted by BlackBerry AtHoc alerts.

Assign an individual address to each INFP IIM device and also each INFP group. If the IIM is in a group, assign a group address to it, as well. If you target a group, all IIMs in that group will activate. The address range is 0-7.

The address has the following syntax:

INFP,x,n

Where:

x
specifies the type of address.

- all IIMs

- a group of fire panels

- an individual fire panel

identifies a single IIM, or a group of IIMs.

Examples:

INFP,0,0 is all connected fire panels.

INFP,1,1 is group 1

INFP,2,1 is the first individual fire panel

A typical INFP IIM will have filter entries of INFP,0,0 INFP,1,x and INFP,2,y where x is the group (zone) it belongs to and y is the identifier number (such as a building number). There may be multiple INFP,1,x settings if an individual is part of multiple groups.

Example
: Company XYZ Corp. has five buildings. Each building has a fire panel, for a total of five fire panels. Additionally, you want to group buildings that are next to each other, in case a fire has spread to the next building. You decide to use two groups (A, B). You would assign an address for each INFP and for each group.

INFP IIM	Building	Addresses in filter.config	Group Name	Device Name
1	Cafeteria	INFP,2,1 INFP,1,6 INFP,0,0	INFP_A	Cafeteria
2	Security	INFP,2,2 INFP,1,6 INFP,0,0	INFP_A	Security
3	Office Tower 1	INFP,2,3 INFP,1,7 INFP,0,0	INFP_B	Office Tower 1
4	Office Tower 2	INFP,2,4 INFP,1,7 INFP,0,0	INFP_B	Office Tower 2
5	Physical Plant	INFP,2,5 INFP,0,0	None	Physical Plant
None	Group A	INFP,1,6	None	Group A
None	Group B	INFP,1,7	None	Group B
None	ALL	INFP,0,0	INFP_ALL	All

This configuration will allow you to target each INFP IIM, either of the groups, or all of the INFP devices.

To configure the address for an INFP IIM, complete the following steps:

Navigate to the following directory:

C:\program files\capnode

Edit the

filter.config

file to add an address for the current INFP IIM.

Add the address values:

addresses=<INFPaddress1 INFPaddress2 INFPaddressn>

In the example, the address values for the first INFP IIM include the address for the cafeteria INFP IIM the address for the Group A,, and the address for ALL, as shown in the following example:

address=INFP,1,1 INFP,1,6 INFP,0,0

Save the file.

Modify the IIM Agent and Capcon services to poll and post to the BlackBerry AtHoc URL:

From the IIM server, open the following file:

..\ProgramFiles\capnode\system_private.config

Change the indexURL value using the following format:

indexURL=http\://IWSAlertsServerURL
/Syndication/CAP_INFP/VPSProvider_ID
/Capindex?ast=MAC_Address

Make sure following values have the identical ID:

The

myid.txt

file

The database record in the AST_ASSET_TAB

The Inbound CAP Event Agent <

EventMapping

> node

The value of the <

sender

> node in the IIM originates from the

myid.txt

file in the following location

..programfiles\capnode\myid.txt

and should match the ASSET_NAME field in the AST_ASSET_TAB database table.

..\Program Files\capnode\.

The value of the

myid.txt

file is the MAC address of the IIM that manages the INFP.

In the same file, modify the

CapPostingtarget.capurl

value. Enter the BlackBerry AtHoc server URL in the highlighted attribute value:

Optionally, configure the proxy server and port settings in the same file:

Add the values for the proxy port and server parameters.

Save the file.

Restart the CapCon service.
