Section 1 NFN Gateway PC Overview
1.1 Product Description
This gateway:
• Serves as a bridge between an ONYXWorks
®
Workstation and a NFN network, and it uses that
Workstation as the primary reporting station for the NFN network.
• Translates a NFN network’s panel and device data into data that can be interpreted by the
ONYXWorks
®
Workstation software application.
• Monitors NFN networks using ARCNET network architecture.
• Is configured using the NFN Config Tool.
The NFN Gateway PC enables remote users to monitor a NFN network with a Workstation that is
registered on your IP network. The gateway is used in conjuncture with Veri•Fire™ Tools software
application to upload/download data to a panel without having to physically visit the panel.
The NFN Gateway PC acts like any other node on a NFN network and is compatible with the
following node type. An * indicates panels that support using a USB or serial cable for the direct
connections as shown in Figure 1.1 on page 8.
