The AFP-300/AFP-400 provides two methods for field-programming the control panel: 
using the Autoprogram feature or the Veri•Fire™ Programming Utility. Table 5 lists the 
benefits of each method:

The Veri•Fire Off-Line Programming Utility lets you upload or download programs 
between a personal computer and the control panel. To use Veri•Fire, follow the steps in

Autoprogram

Speed and convenience of putting the control panel on 
line quickly; and changing programming information.

Veri•Fire 400™

Efficient means of creating and editing programs that 
require a lot of data entry.

Step

Action

1

Connect a PC-compatible computer to the EIA-232 port on the control panel:

Connect the supplied cable (P/N 75267) to the PC COM port (COM1–COM4).

Connect the other end of the cable to terminal TB2 (PC/Terminal) on the 
control panel (depending on the type of connection) as follows:

2

Load the Veri•Fire software into the PC.

3

Run the Veri• Fire Off Line Programming Utility.
