NOTIFIER NWS-2 NOTI•FIRE•NET Web Server-2

General

The NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Web Server-2 (NWS-2) is a webbased device that allows remote access to the NOTIFIER fire alarm network via the Internet or an intranet. With the NWS-2 interface, users can view fire alarm control panel (FACP) event status, device properties and other information in a web page.

All data available on the NWS-2 is a “snapshot” of the data on the NOTI•FIRE•NET network at the time the browser requests the information; and with the Event Refresh Time feature enabled, the NWS-2 will automatically refresh the Event List with any new events. In addition, the same event information can be sent via email to a select group of users simultaneously. The NWS-2 communicates to NOTI•FIRE•NET (version 5.0 and higher) and then interfaces to the Internet/Intranet using an IP-based wire Ethernet connection. Use VeriFire® Tools (version 4.0 or higher) to make the necessary network configuration settings which allow the web server to communicate with an Internet browser.
