2.2.1 Host/Loop Communications Tab

In order to maintain your NetAXS™ system configuration or to monitor its status, you must connect to the NetAXS™ panel by using one of two modes:

•Host mode (monitor only) – a host software system, such as WIN-PAK™, connects to the panel (through the NetAXS™ gateway panel, which has an on-board PCI communications adapter), and it enables you to monitor the status of the NetAXS™ system. The on-board PCI adapter functions as an interface between a host computer’s RS-232 port and one or more panels connected on the Multidrop line.

•Web mode (configure and monitor) – the NetAXS™ web server connects to the panel and enables you to configure the panel and monitor system status.

This tab enables you to select and configure the communication mode you will use to connect to the panel.

Note: A Gateway panel installed with release 3.1.8 or newer of NetAXS™ firmware cannot communicate fully with previous versions of NetAXS™ that may be installed on existing panels. If your panels are running release 2 (v2.2.21 or older), they must be upgraded to release 3.
