SECTION THREE: NFN WEB SERVER CONFIGURATION

3.1 NFN W
There are two ways to configure the NFN Web Server: use the NWS configuration tool supplied on CD-ROM, or use
Veri•Fire™ Tools, the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ programming utility.
The Serial Configuration Tool software is supplied on CD-ROM. To install the application onto the PC or laptop,
follow these steps:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. If the CD does not automatically run the installation setup, from Windows Explorer or the Run command,
execute setup.exe from the root directory of the CD-ROM.
3. This will execute the install application. Simply follow the directions on screen to install the Serial Configu-
ration Tool.
4. Once it is installed, it can be launched from the Start menu by selecting Programs, VerFire Tools, NWS
Configuration Tool.
3.2 U
SING THE
The NWS Configuration Tool configures network parameters of the Web Server. When you run the Configuration
Tool, the following dialog box will be displayed:
The Configuration Tool communicates with the Web Server either directly by connecting the PC to the server's serial
port, or by connecting the PC to the second NUP port of an NCM that is on the same network as the Web Server. Note
that if connected via an NCM, there must also be some type of node connected to the NCM which has caused the NCM
to join the network. Enter the communications port that the PC is using for its connection to the Web Server. When
connecting through an NCM, the Web Server node must be specified in the window above so the configuration tool can
find it. When connecting directly, the node may be left as zero.

1. Select the COM port being used.
2. Specify the node number being used for the NFN Web Server.
3. Click OK to finish configuration.
If the NFN Web Server does not yet have a node number, the PC must be connected directly to the Web Server first to
give it one.
After selecting OK, the configuration tool will attempt to communicate with the Web Server. In the case where
communications can be established, it may take up to 10 seconds to finish the initial communications; however, if
communications can not be established (because nothing is connected to the serial port), it will take up to 30 seconds
before the Configuration Tool displays an error message.
