You define a telecom device type profile for your telecom devices so that new telecom tag numbers that you create acquire the necessary properties. Smart Instrumentation provides a number of predefined telecom device types, such as AL (alarm), CAM (camera), and so forth. You can add new telecom device types and modify the shipped ones as required. You can delete a telecom device type that is not in use. However, Smart Instrumentation does not let you delete a telecom device type that you already used to create a tag number.

Smart Instrumentation uses standard function identifier acronyms to identify telecom device types. If some acronyms are not unique and are used for more than one device type, the Select Telecom Type dialog opens where you select the appropriate device type.

After defining a device type, you set device type profile defaults for new telecom tag numbers. As result, Smart Instrumentation will create your new tag numbers with certain predefined properties based on the telecom device type you select for the new tag number. You set profiles for every telecom device type that you use.

  1. On the Instrument Index Module window menu bar, select Tables > Telecom > Telecom Device Types.

  2. On the Telecom Device Types dialog, do one of the following:

    • Select an existing device type and select Profile.

    • Select New and define a device type that you need and then select Profile.

  3. On the Telecom Device Type Profile dialog, define the general default settings for new telecom devices.

  4. Select the Wiring tab if you need to define wiring default settings.

  5. On the Wiring and Control System tab, select the Include wiring check box.

  6. To define new device tags as control-system-enabled, select the Control system check box. This enables the corresponding tag numbers for tag assignment.

  7. To enable automated creation of coupled control system tags, select Automatic CS tags.

  8. From the Reference device panel list, select an appropriate reference panel for this instrument type. These are device panels that were created in Reference Explorer.

  9. If your reference device panel settings enable the Conventional connections group box, do one of the following for each connection that you need for the current instrument type:

    • Select New, to add a connection.

    • Select Properties, to edit the properties of an existing convention, and on the Conventional Connection Properties dialog, define the settings that you require, and select OK.

  10. If your reference device panel settings enable the Plug-and-socket connections group box, do one of the following for each connection that you need for the current instrument type:

    • Select New, to add a connection.

    • Select Properties, to edit the properties of an existing convention, and on the Plug-and-Socket Connection Properties dialog, define the settings that you require, and select OK.
