T/GrafX Maps Out Networks

T/GrafX provides you with a high-end intuitive alarm display for your network operation center (NOC).

T/GrafX makes it easy to find new alarms that occur in your network. It is ideal for viewing the status of an entire alarm network using maps, floor plans and other graphic representations.

T/GrafX makes a great impression on clients and other VIPs by giving you state-of-art visibility and by allowing you to depict your network graphically in as many layers as you want. You can view your network by country, region, state, county, site, floor plan and even equipment racks.

T/GrafX requires little skill to learn. T/GrafX comes with a map generation program, allowing you to create maps down to a street level and even has the option of adding your own customized graphics for additional detail of the site and rack, if desired.

This program allows you to quickly ascertain the health of your network and determine the cause and the extent of any problems. As with T/Mon, when an alarm changes state, the icon's label will blink and change colors to indicate the severity. By simply clicking on an icon, incremental steps of map detail will display, which will provide the specifics of an alarm condition and allow you to respond to that alarm.

T/GrafX has many features, including the ability to view alarm activity at any level. This allows you to see all alarms as easily as viewing alarms at a single site. You will be able to view the "big picture" and address local sites through the multiple maps feature.

The application utilizes the same alarm format as T/Mon, so it's easy to use with just a point and click. It shows active or standing alarms and continuously updates for the current network status.

Using T/GrafX, you will be able to use site controls, which allow you to define commands for operating control equipment within the alarm network.

T/GrafX provides you with the same levels of secured access as T/MonXM does. Some users can have view-only levels while others can acknowledge alarms.

In T/Mon, your initials are placed on any alarm you acknowledge. You can also view text message and enter trouble logs as well. These feature allow you to have greater control over your network.

By using T/GrafX on your existing T/Mon or IAM network, you can benefit from the advanced features of a graphic display and the increased speed in accessing your network. Simply connect the factory-integrated T/GrafX workstation with its large 17" monitor to any available port on the DPS master, or install T/GrafX on any PC running Windows™ 95, 98 or NT.
