  • Page 6: General Information

    Document Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for using WirelessHART Monitoring Control System (MCS) and to provide information about the NEXCOM NIO200HAG WirelessHART All-In- One Gateway as well as instructions on how to configure certain settings.
  • Page 7: Product Overview

    The WirelessHART Monitoring Control System is a web application that runs on NIO200 HAG Gateway enables users to remotely view and configure their WirelessHART network. The MCS runs on the NIO200HAG and gives users with proper rights control over the network, including the means to monitor the topology, set up data transmissions, and control the processes that take place in the network.
