Installation Connections 2.3.2 Trouble Relay Connections The VESDA-HLI-GW can be supervised by using an input module on an FACP. During normal operation (when the VESDA-HLI-GW 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 VESDA-HLI-GW detects an error, it deactivates the internal relay and posts an event to the error log (see 3.2.7, "Error Log").

Configuration Security Certificate 3.3 Security Certificate The VESDA-HLI-GW communicates with the browser using secure communications facilitated by a self-signed security certificate. Using the self-signed security certificate will cause the browser to display warnings similar to the following: Figure 3.2 Chrome Security Warning Example The browser warning is displayed upon each connection to the gateway.
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 VESDA-HLI-GW. 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.
