How do I convert EZMate Accounts?   (ID:14147466)

 

  1. Start the Compass program and login as you normally do.Your login ID must have the authority to convert DOS accounts for you to continue.
  2. From the TOOLS Pull-down menu, select CONVERT DOS ACCOUNTS. The Convert Mode Message box appears.If you are using a shared database, press NO to continue; otherwise, press YES to speed up DOS conversion
  3. Select the Panel Type of FBII
  4. Enter the DOS Downloader Master Code. *** This MUST be a 6-digit code used as operator 1 in EZ-Mate.

If you do not have a login code, or if it is less than 6 digits, you must open Ezmate and change it before you can continue.

  1. Navigate to the drive and directory where the EZ-Mate, accounts are located.
  2. Select the appropriate FBII DOS (*.fbi) Index by double-clicking it.
  3. A prompt may appear if the primary phone number from the DOS account does not have an assigned receiver group.

This mapping is essential for proper operation of Unsolicited and Panel Initiated Unattended modes.

To add a receiver Group/Phone No., answer YES to this prompt:

"NO MATCH FOR PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER IN RECEIVER GROUP TABLE. DO YOU WANT TO ADD THIS PHONE NUMBER TO RECEIVER GROUP TABLE?" Then, do the following:

* Type in the receiver group you wish to assign to the account phone number listed in red.

* Press the OK button.

* Press the CLOSE button to close the screen and continue converting DOS accounts.

Download.ini Option

This option is for advanced operators only. You can modify the download.ini file in your C:\Windows directory so that receiver groups will be automatically assigned to the accounts you are converting. This feature is available by setting the following line to 1 (default is 0):

[DOS Convert]

Auto_Create_Receiver_Group=1

A receiver group of P + the last 5 digits of the primary phone number will be created and used for all those accounts converted from DOS having that primary phone number.

  1. After you select the appropriate DOS Index, the Downloader Data Exchange screen is displayed
  2. Highlight the DOS files to be converted by left-clicking the mouse in the RCVR column of the grid and clicking on the SELECTED button to convert the accounts. If all the accounts are to be converted, click on the ALL button. If only certain control panel types are to be converted, select those panel types from the pull-down menu. Only those types of controls appear.
  3. The converted accounts are listed on the right hand side of the screen above.
  4.  When all selected accounts are converted, select EXIT from the File pull down menu.

 

 

The original EZ-Mate accounts are not altered by the conversion to Compass. The conversion copies these accounts and leaves the originals unchanged.
