Configure a mass device endpoint for each fire panel

After you configure the device and device gateway, you must configure a mass device endpoint to be used to receive alerts.

BlackBerry AtHoc treats Indoor Fire Panel pseudo-points as endpoints in the system and the address information must be configured manually. This includes creating hierarchies, distribution lists, and other grouping mechanisms.

Before you begin, plan how to assign mass device endpoints to the fire panels.

You can define each endpoint for one fire panel, for a group of fire panels, or for all fire panels for an organization. For example, XYZ company has five buildings, each building has one fire panel, so there are five fire panels. They create five mass device endpoints:

EndpointA

EndpointB

EndpointC

EndpointD

EndpointE

Each of these endpoints are mass devices. You will need to create an endpoint for each Indoor Fire Panel, then create groups that use implicit targeting in the alert.

To create a mass device endpoint, complete the following steps:

In the navigation bar, click the Settings icon

(Settings) icon.

In the Devices section, click
Mass Device Endpoints
. The Mass Device Endpoints screen opens.

Click New
, and then select the Indoor Fire Panel. The New Mass Device Endpoint screen opens.

In the General section, enter the Endpoint Name and Common Name for the device.

In the Configuration section, enter the Indoor Fire Panel device address that corresponds to a pseudo-point in the Siemens Indoor Fire Panel.

Syntax:

For a single pseudo-point:

PP, P
nnn

For a range of pseudo-points:

PP, P
nnn-nnn

Click Save
.

Verify that the pseudo-point addresses match the outbound range specified in the

system.config

file on the IIM.
