Mircom Flex-Net Phase II Application Manual page 94

The configurator interrogates the panel to which it is connected and lists all of the CPUs
actually present and on-line. The list view shows the CPU Number and Type and other
information, including the current language for main CPUs and Annunciators.
By clicking in the Language field you can select a different language. The CPU will be loaded
with firmware for the chosen language, assuming the firmware archive contains the file.
Selected CPUs Only - check this box and select the CPUs you wish to upgrade. You can
select multiple rows by holding down the Ctrl key and right clicking anywhere in the row. If this
box is not checked all of the CPUs will be upgraded.
Upgrade - click this button to start the firmware upgrade
User Preferences
This dialog is displayed in response to the File menu's User Preferences command.
• User Name - used for the Author of all new jobs and job versions
• Serial Port - designates which COM port (or USB pseudo COM port) the configurator will
use to connect to the panel.
• Security Key port - Specifies the port where a WiBu key will be inserted. The drop down
list shows the ports that have been registered by the WiBu software. The list will include
LPTn if the computer has a printer port. The list may include USB, but only if a USB
WiBu key has been inserted and the New Hardware Wizard has been run to install the
required drivers. Further, a USB key must have been plugged in since the last restart of
the computer, else USB will not appear as an option. If neither LPT nor USB are
registered, a warning will be issued. The user cannot perform any privileged operations
until a valid choice has been made. If only LPT is registered a warning will be issued
since most computers would be expected to use USB for the security key.
• BDM Port - designates which parallel port the Background Debugging Module will use
(for those products that support this interface).
• Database Folder - specifies where the main configurator.mdb database file resides.
Usually the folder where the configurator is installed.
