Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notifica-...

Product Overview System Architecture 1.6.1 Redundancy A redundant gateway is a second gateway which communicates with an NFN network. If the main gateway cannot be reached, the system attempts to communicate with the network through the redundant gateway. For more information about configuring redundant gateways, refer to the ONYXWorks Workstation Installation and Operation Manual.

Installation Connections 2.3.2 Trouble Relay Connections The NFN-GW-EM-3 can be supervised by using an input module on an FACP. During normal operation (when the NFN-GW-EM-3 is not detecting an error) it activates the internal relay. When the relay is active, the input module detects the end-of-line resistor. When the NFN-GW-EM-3 detects an error, it deactivates the internal relay and posts an event to the error log (refer to 3.2.7, "Error Log").

Security Certificate Configuration 3.2.6 Node List The node list is located in the navigation tree area of the configuration tool screen (see Figure 3.1). Click the desired node label to view information about that node. The information displayed is dependent on the node type. Labels for off-line nodes display in red text. 3.2.7 Error Log The error log displays specific information when the NFN-GW-EM-3 detects a problem with the web portal connection.
Configuration Web Portal Setup address of the gateway must be provided. The certificate is specific to the specified IP address. If the IP address is changed, a new certificate will be required. In addition, the certificates have an expiration date. Once the certificate expires, a new certificate needs to be sent to the gateway.
Client Monitoring Configuration 3.5 Client Monitoring The NFN-GW-EM-3 is able to monitor connected clients. When the NFN-GW-EM-3 detects a monitored client has disconnected, the NFN-GW-EM-3 deactivates the output relay. An active relay indicates that the client is operating properly. If power is disconnected from the gateway, the lack of the active relay results in a trouble on the connected monitor module.
Appendix A Gateway Settings NOTE: The procedures in this appendix require the use of a USB flash memory drive. A.1 Viewing Existing IP Settings Connect the flash drive to the NFN-GW-EM-3. Reboot the gateway. A file is created that matches the configured IP address of the gateway, followed by the extension “.txt” (e.g., 192.168.1.2.txt). If the file already exists on the drive, it will be altered to match the gateway configuration.
