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. If the certificate expires, a different warning is displayed by the browser.
The security certificate must be in the PFX format. The PFX file is uploaded to the gateway using the
Tools > Send PFX Key File
option in the gateway configuration tool. It may be necessary to install a file on each PC used to configure the gateway to fully resolve
the security configuration.
The NFN-GW-EM-3 includes a self-signed security certificate. The certificate is generated with a three year expiration. In addition, the
certificate is generated using the default IP address of the gateway, 192.168.1.2. A certificate authority may be used to create a valid
certificate based on the IP address of the NFN-GW-EM-3. If a certificate authority is not available, a local IT administrator may use a
security certificate generation application such as OpenSSL to generate the certificate.
The site network administrator may be able to assist with any additional details regarding security certificates.
3.4 Web Portal Setup
The NFN-GW-EM-3 web portal feature must have the correct time and date settings in order for it to establish
communications with the eVance server. Ensure that a valid time server IP address or DNS server name has been entered
and appropriate time zone settings have been made in the configuration tool’s Additional Properties web page.
After each reboot, the web portal must communicate with the time server before it is able to connect to eVance.
To receive events and configuration information for use in tools such as the Inspection Manager and System Manager, the
NFN-GW-EM-3 must be associated with a specific site as follows:
1.
In the navigation tree section of the gateway configuration tool, select
Additional Properties > Web Portal Setup
.
2.
Enter the information in the text boxes in the right-hand column. The user name and password are the same as those used to
access the eVance web site. The web portal name must be unique for the eVance account to register this web portal. The web
portal description is used in eVance to identify this specific gateway.
3.
Click
Apply
. When successfully completed, a dialog box displays.
4.
Click
OK
. The “Assign the Web Portal…” dialog box displays.
5.
From the customer drop-down list, select the appropriate customer for this site. The web portal displays the node number(s) for
the connected FACP(s).
6.
Select the appropriate building for each node using its drop-down list.
There are additional selections for “<Unassigned – Delete Equipment>” and “Unassigned” options. In both of these cases, the
panel’s points will not be configured on eVance and, with the Delete Equipment option, the existing equipment for that node
will be deleted from eVance.
7.
Click
Apply
. A commissioning prompt displays.
8.
Click
Yes.
The gateway communicates with each connected panel and sends a list of all the configured points to eVance.
Because these points are defined in eVance, they are displayed when a new test session is created.
NOTE:
The NFN-GW-EM-3 must be v. 4.00 or later and board type EMPCB to support System Manager.
