One computing device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to: receive a test string from a control panel of a fire control system, the text string comprising a number of values; receive a number of locations from a user, wherein each location of the number of locations is a location within the text string of a value of the number of values corresponding to a variable of a number of variables; generate a model for the control panel based on the number of locations and the number of variables; and store the model in the memory. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computing device for generating a model for a control panel of a fire control system, comprising: a memory; and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to: receive a text string from a control panel of a fire control system, the text string comprising a number of values; receive a number of locations entered by a user, wherein each location of the number of locations is a location within the text string of a value of the number of values corresponding to a variable of a number of variables; generate a model for the control panel based on the number of locations and the number of variables; and store the model in the memory. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to: receive an additional text string from the control panel, the additional text string comprising an additional number of values; use the model to assign each value of the additional number of values to a variable of the number of variables; and cause one or more components of the fire control system to perform a number of actions based on one or more values of the additional number of values assigned to one or more variables of the number of variables. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the computing device is a cloud computing device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the text string is received from a port of the control panel. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The computing device of claim 4, wherein the port is a printer port. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the number of variables includes at least one variable for at least one of the following: an address of the control panel; a fault type detected by one of more components of the fire control system; a date on which the computing device received the text string; a time of day at which the computing device received the text string; and a fire condition within an area covered by the fire control system. ### Claim 7 A method of generating a model for a control panel of a fire control system, comprising: receiving a first text string from a control panel of a fire control system, the first text string comprising a first number of values; receiving a first number of locations from a user, wherein each location of the first number of locations is a location within the first text string of a value of the first number of values corresponding to a variable of a number of variables; generating a model for the control panel based on the first number of locations and the number of variables; storing the model; receiving a second text string from the first control panel, the second text string comprising a second number of values; using the model to assign each value of the second number of values to a variable of the number of variables; and performing, by one or more components of the fire control system, a number of actions based on one or more values of the second number of values assigned to one or more variables of the number of variables. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: receiving a third text string from an additional control panel of the fire control system, the third text string comprising a third number of values; receiving a second number of locations from the user, wherein each location of the second number of locations is a location within the third text string of a value of the third number of values corresponding to a variable of the number of variables; generating an additional model for the additional fire control panel based on the second number of locations and the number of variables; and storing the additional model. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the third text string is formatted differently than the first text string and the second text string. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the first text string represents a first event detected by a component of the fire control system. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein at least one component of the one or more components comprises a notification device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein at least one action of the number of actions comprises notifying the user of a fault condition within the fire control system. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein at least one action of the number of actions comprises notifying the user of a fire condition within an area covered by the fire control system. ### Claim 14 A fire control system comprising: a control panel; a gateway configured to receive a first text string and a second text string from the control panel, the first text string comprising a first number of values, and the second text string comprising a second number of values; an application configured to: carry out iterations of a process, each iteration comprising prompting a user through a user interface to select a value of the first number of values corresponding to a variable of one or more variables and receiving a selection of the value of the first number of values from the user through the user interface; determine a location within the first text string of each selection; generate a model for the control panel based on the location of the value of each selection and the one or more variables; and use the model to assign each value of the second number of values to a variable of the number of variables; and one or more components configured to perform a number of actions based on one or more values of the second number of values assigned to one or more variables of the number of variables. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the gateway is configured to receive a third text string from an additional control panel of the fire control system, the third text string comprising a third number of values. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the application is configured to: carry out iterations of an additional process, wherein each iteration comprises prompting the user through the user interface to select a value of the third number of values corresponding to a variable of the one or more variables and receiving a selection of the value of the third number of values from the user through the user interface; determine a location within the third text string of the value of each selection; and generate a model for the additional control panel based on the location within the third text string of the value of each selection and the one or more variables. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15, wherein the gateway is configured to receive a fourth text string from a third control panel, the fourth string comprising a fourth number of values. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the user interface is configured to prompt the user to select the model from a number of models. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The system of claim 18, wherein the application is configured to use the selected model to control the control panel. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein at least one of the number of actions comprises transmitting a notification to the user if one or more values of the second number of values assigned to a variable of the number of variables indicates a fire condition.
