A.12.1 Configuring the IP Address
The IP address of this interface is set using a procedure
similar to that listed in
CFG" is modified with Notepad and downloaded with
HyperTerminal.
Notes
1. Honeywell strongly recommends that any
gas detection network which is connected to
the Internet be protected from unauthorized
access by a firewall.
2. Honeywell recommends that a gas detection
Ethernet network be separated from a general-
purpose computer networks by a switch. This
is because the transmission time of Ethernet
networks is non-deterministic and can become
large if the network is heavily loaded.
3. When the interface is correctly installed in the
PLC backplane the "BP ACT" light will glow
steady amber. The "OK" light will glow steady
green.
4. The "LINK" indicator will glow steady green
when a valid physical-layer connection is
established to an Ethernet switch.
5. An external computer can confirm that the
interface is set to the correct IP address by use
of the "ping" command.
6. The MVI46-DFNT contains a second
configuration file named "DFNT.CFG". If the
module was purchased from Honeywell,
this file will be preloaded. Otherwise, the file
provided in "C:\hmi\FieldbusFiles" must be
loaded.
7. The 122 words of Vertex M status which are
listed in Table F-5
diagnostic port. These are mapped as registers
0 to 121 in the ProSoft database. Instructions
on viewing the ProSoft database are in chapter
6 of the ProSoft User Manual.

be used to communicate with the MVI46-DFNT.
This is explained in Appendix E of the ProSoft
User Manual.
A.13 Vertex M Remote Display Setup
A.13.1 Checking Remote Session Count
The Vertex M Diagnostics option lets you verify the
number of remote Niagara licenses.
In the main display screen, touch the Menu button,
then touch Diagnostics. This displays the System
Information window. The number of licenses is
displayed to the right of "Remote Sessions Count".
Note: If there are not sufficient licenses or if all licenses
are in use, you will not be able to access the Vertex M
remotely. Changing this number is beyond the scope
of this procedure; contact your Honeywell Analytics
representative for more information.
