!
NOTE: To configure the NWS via an NCM, you must have
a NUP-to-DB9 cable (P/N 75554, sold separately).
NOTES: If the Web Server is to be connected via an NCM, you must specify the node
number being used for the NFN Web Server by accessing Veri•Fire™ Tools.
If the NFN Web Server does not yet have a node number, the PC must be connected
directly to the Web Server first to give it one.
!
NOTE: The NFN Web Server is
compatible with Veri•Fire™ Tools
version 3.00 or later.
!
Veri•Fire™ Tools can communicate with the Web Server in one of two ways:
1. Direct communication by connecting Veri•Fire’s PC to the web server’s serial port - this connection, using
DB9-DB9, is used for the Web Server’s initial setup to be able to communicate over the NFN network.
2. Communication over the NFN network by connecting Veri•Fire’s PC to the second NUP port of an NCM that
is on the same network as the Web Server.
THE SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION UTILITY
To activate communications between the PC and the NFN Web Server, use the Serial Port Configuration Utility,
accessed from the Start menu by selecting Start, Programs, VeriFire Tools, Serial Port Configuration Utility. The
NUP Serial Port Auto Configuration dialog will appear (seen in Figure 3.3-1).
PC DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO NFN WEB SERVER
For a PC directly connected to the NFN Web Server, click on the Auto Configuration button to establish communica-
tions. When finished, exit by clicking on the x button in the top right corner.
IMPORTANT: When the NFN Web Server is first being configured, you must use this direct serial connection to
initially establish communication between the Web Server and the PC.
PC COMMUNICATING TO NFN WEB SERVER VIA NCM
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS ONLY USED WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO RE-CONFIGURE THE WEB SERVER SETTINGS.
For a PC Communicating to NFN Web Server Via the NCM, run the Serial Port Configuration Utility to establish
communications.
