Arming the System

Once you have a script loaded and a connection to a field controller established, the next stop would be to Arm the system.  The Fire Control tab is where this is done.  Select a field controller that is connected (green background) and press the 'Arm Ctrl' button.  If the connected controller is already armed, the button will be red and read 'Disarm Ctrl' and pressing it will disarm that controller.

If the Arm System button is pressed, the user will be ask to (optionally) provide a arming PIN number and confirm arming the system.  The arming PIN is set on the Settings screen under Fire Control Settings.
