The "system LN" stored in association with the photoelectric analog sensor SE11 is extracted. The "system LN" corresponds to the information at the highest level of the specific information of the terminal device. The terminal specifying unit 4 displays a list of system selection switches 210-1 to 210-n for selecting the “system LN” extracted on the system selection screen 210.

When the terminal identification unit 4 selects the “system LN” to which the photoelectric analog sensor SE11 for performing the fire test is connected by selecting (operating) the system selection switch of the user, FIG. 10 (b) shows. The number of the selected system LN is displayed on the selection system display unit 211 provided on the tab for switching to the system selection screen 210, and the system selection screen 210 is switched to the address selection screen 220 and displayed. The terminal identification unit 4 searches the "terminal device type KI" and "system LN" of the terminal database DB1 and extracts the photoelectric analog sensor SE11 and the "address AD" stored in association with the selected system. In addition, "address AD" corresponds to the information in the uppermost layer of the specific information of the terminal device and the lower layer. The control unit displays a list of address selection switches 220-1 to 220-n for selecting the extracted "address AD" on the address selection screen 220.

When the "address AD" of the photoelectric analog sensor SE11 for performing a fire test is selected by the user's selection (operation) of the address selection switch, the terminal identification unit 4 selects the address as shown in FIG. 10 (c). The number of the selected address AD is displayed on the selection address display unit 221 provided on the tab for switching to the screen 220, and the "Yes" switch and the "No" switch for selecting whether or not to execute the test are set. indicate. When the "Yes" switch is selected by the user, the terminal identification unit 4 notifies the control unit 1 of the selected "system LN" and "address AD". The control unit 1 transmits a fire test command to the notified "address AD" photoelectric analog sensor SE11 via the transmission / reception unit 5 of the notified "system LN".

As described above, when the function to specify the terminal device is selected from the multiple functions of the fire receiver FA, only the specific information related to the selected function among the specific information of the layered terminal devices is selected. Terminal devices can be easily specified by selecting in order from the upper layer. In addition, a terminal device of a type unrelated to the selected function is not specified.
In the present embodiment, the case of two layers of "system LN" and "address AD" as specific information of the terminal device has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in an operation test in which a smoke-proof / exhaust device is specified, there are three layers including a "serial number". In addition, the specific information of the terminal device may be any information as long as the terminal device can be specified, such as "building", "floor", "ward", and "number" of "installation place SP", and a plurality of specific information. May be switched so that the terminal device can be selected based on the switched specific information. Further, only the numbers of the corresponding specific information may be arranged as the system or address selection switch, or only the selectable switches obtained by arranging and extracting all the numbers may be displayed in different manners.
