ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin 43
Connecting to and Downloading the FEC/FAC/IOM/VMA Field Controllers
To connect to and download the FEC/FAC/IOM/VMA Field Controllers:
1. Start CCT on your computer and connect to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field
Bus System by one of the methods shown in Table 9.
2. Scan the FC Bus for WEFCs using CCT.
3. Identify the WEFCs to configure and download using CCT or the Point
Schedule.
4. Download the Controller Application File (CAF) for each WEFC controller
using CCT or the Point Schedule.
5. Write additional configuration parameters to the FEC/IOM/VMA field
controllers using CCT or the Point Schedule Parameter Sheet.
Verifying Wireless Operation
To verify wireless operation:
1. Open Microsoft® Internet Explorer® Web browser and log on to the
NAE/NCE using the Metasys Site Management Portal.
2. From the Metasys Site Management Portal, perform a discovery of the MS/TP
trunk.
3. Verify that all the FEC/IOM/VMA field controllers (wired and wireless) have
been discovered.
Note: When you first power up the wireless network, there is a potential for a few
field controllers to toggle online and offline for a short period until the
entire trunk has finished its startup procedure. This is a normal operation.

2. At Release 4.0, the ZigBee connection type within CCT requires the CCT patch that is
available on the Release 4.0 Branch Purchase Package, and the USB adapter with ZigBee
driver. At Release 4.1 or later, the ZigBee connection type within CCT requires the USB
adapter with ZigBee driver. See WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool
