With the Gent Vigilon Commissioning Tool successfully installed and licensed, you've crossed the first major milestone toward a professionally managed fire alarm system. You can now begin the rewarding process of configuring the entire site: entering site details (such as name, address, and contact numbers), retrieving device maps from the panel loops, labeling thousands of individual sensors and sounders, and programming custom cause-and-effect plans.
The commissioning software is proprietary and restricted to certified system integrators and trained engineers.
The tool requires a specialized interface cable (such as a USB-to-serial converter or an isolated panel interface lead) to talk to the Vigilon main control board.
