1. Introduction
1.1 About the Handbook
This handbook is intended to provide the necessary information for
basic configuration of the AutroMaster Integrated Safety and
Emergency Management System (AutroMaster ISEMS).
The majority of configuring is performed by using a normal editor.
Linux has a number of different editors that may be used, for example,
vi, emacs, gedit, kedit, kate, etc.
gedit is recommended and is to be used in graphic mode.
All editing is performed in Command line window. Security level 4
(Service) is required to gain access to Command line.
To open the pull-down menu, click Menu using the left mouse
button.
Select the desired submenu (Command line is selected in this
example) and then click the left mouse button (shaded black
above).

2. About AutroMaster ISEMS
2.1 Overview
AutroMaster ISEMS is an Integrated Safety and Emergency
Management System which can be used together with the AutroSafe
Interactive Fire Detection System or the BS-100 system.
The system can be connected to a large number of fire alarm panels
of different types (such as operator, control or repeater panels) via a
serial connection or an ethernet network.
AutroMaster ISEMS uses Linux as an operating system.

3. Installation
To install AutroMaster ISEMS on a PC make sure that you have the
following software.
Linux boot floppy and Linux CD based on CentOS installation CD
(alternatively DVD).
AutroMaster ISEMS distribution on CD’s.
3.1 Preparing to Install the System
AutroMaster ISEMS requires CentOS 5.6. It can either be downloaded
from the Internet or you can buy it from Autronica Fire & Security AS. If
you want to download a distribution, make sure that you download a
distribution in ISO format. The ISO format is one large file, which can
be loaded onto your CD burner program and the Linux DVD/CDs can
be burned.
Every Linux distribution contains complete software for network
communication, graphical user interface, a complete development
environment, and many different server softwares.
This chapter deals with 5.11.
Before the installation is carried out it is important to write down the
following key information about the PC:
Type of the graphical board installed and the available memory.
Type of mouse and where the mouse is connected.
Monitor information, including; type, resolution, horizontal and
vertical refresh frequencies. The standard resolution is 1280x1024,
therefore find the vertical frequency for this resolution in your
monitor manual.
Type of the network card, if the computer is to be connected to a
network or AutroSafe.
Make sure that all necessary CD’s (the Linux CD and AutroMaster CD)
and the information about the hardware are available.
