What’s New in Release 3.1.8
Dynamic Screens and Performance Enhancements
Dynamic screens are screens that can refresh data without re-submitting. In the
Honeywell NetAXS™ panel, there is now a persistent connection between the web
screens and the panel. This allows status updates from the panel to be pushed out to
the screens automatically to display the data seamlessly on the screen.
In addition to the dynamic screens, other panel-side enhancements have been made
that improve screen performance. Now the web server detects when panels of a loop
come online faster. In the past, there was a 30- to 45-second delay during which a
panel could be online before the web would detect it. Data transfer between the panel
and web browsers has been optimized to reduce bandwidth requirements and improve
screen response times overall.
Multi-language Support
Multi-language support consists of “language files” installed with the firmware or
imported to a panel. A language selection is available on a per-user basis. The
language files are available by upload from the panel or from the Honeywell website.
You can customize the upload.
There are options to import, export, or delete the language files from a panel. During
upgrades, the language files with default names are replaced by those included with
the firmware, so we recommend that customizations be saved and imported with a
different filename than any present after upgrade. After toggling firmware sets, some
phrases may change or appear in English until the language file(s) matching the active
firmware version are imported, or the next upgrade is completed.
NetAXS™ Access Control Unit User’s Guide, Document 800-04410, Revision A ix
Page 10
CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
A requested feature was added to the NetAXS™ panel to support card holder updates and additions to
the database via a CSV (comma separated variable) file. In order to support this, a CSV report is first
created via a request from the web page. This report can be edited directly or loaded into a spreadsheet
to be edited. If loaded into a spreadsheet, the file can be saved in CSV format. The modified CSV file
can then be downloaded to the gateway and loop panels.
Also, an option is provided to either replace or append the card database. Replacing the database
deletes the existing card database, and appending the existing database adds new cards and updates to
existing cards, if needed. This file is downloaded first to the gateway panel, and then automatically to
each downstream panel. The file is sent to the downstream panel as a background process that allows
other web screens to continue to operate. Note that the panels will not need to reboot after the file is
downloaded.
Reverse IP
Reverse IP is implemented in the NetAXS™ panel to function with the WIN-PAK CS Reverse IP
communication setting. This allows the panel to exist behind a firewall while communication to
WIN-PAK CS is conducted on a pre-set port. This allows the NetAXS™ panel to be on a DHCP
network. Reverse IP connections are currently limited to one NetAXS™ panel per WIN-PAK CS port.
The NetAXS™ panel does not currently support encrypted reverse IP communication.

2.2 Configuring the System
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.

Parameter Description
Duress Detect Enabled – Enables the user to trigger an alarm or output device in
times of duress, such as when the operator is forced to grant access
against his will to an unauthorized person. This feature is available
only when the reader is configured with a “Card and Pin” access
mode (see Reader Tab, page 31).
When this feature is enabled, you can configure an auxiliary output
with a pulse time and connect it to a device with an interlock (see
“Outputs Tab“ on page 55 for the output configuration).
During normal operation, the duress output does nothing. To energize
the output, the cardholder presents his card to a reader that is
configured for Card and PIN access (see “Reader Tab“ on page 31).
The cardholder then enters a PIN that is either one number higher or
one number lower than his correct PIN. For example, if his PIN is
2222, the cardholder would enter either 2221 or 2223. Even though
the PIN is incorrect, the door will still open normally, but the duress
output pulses and an alarm is generated. In this way, the cardholder
notifies others without detection by the unauthorized person.
Continuous Card Reads
Enabled – Enables continuous card reading while the output is being
energized. When this option is not enabled, a reader will not be able
to read a second card during the pulsing of the output caused by the
previous card read.
Reader LEDs Identifies the color of a reader LED when a grant is authorized.
Cardholder Note 1 Specifies any information field you might want to put on a card. For
example, if you enter “Department” here, a field labeled
“Department” appears on the card. The user who creates the card
would then enter the cardholder’s department name. See Adding
New Cards, page 47.
Cardholder Note 2 Specifies any information field you might want to put on a card. For
example, if you enter “Phone Number” here, a field labeled “Phone
Number” appears on the card. The user who creates the card would
then enter the cardholder’s telephone number. See Adding New
Cards, page 47.

2.3.2 Time Zones Tab
The NetAXS™ panel controls access by using time zones, or time schedules. Inputs, outputs, groups,
readers, access levels, and cards through access levels are all configured with time zones by which
they will be energized or de-energized, enabled or disabled. For example, you might assign a group of
outputs to be energized from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. every day. The 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., Sunday
through Saturday, time period is called a time zone. The Time Zones tab enables you to create the time

Linking Time Zones
You assign each Time Zone a specific start time and end time. The maximum time range is from 12:00
a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Note that the time range cannot cross midnight. You can set this time range to be
effective for any day of the week, including weekends (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). These days can also include holidays, which are considered special
days that take precedence over a standard day. Also, since Access Levels, Outputs, Inputs, Groups can
only be given one Time Zone selection at a time, you can link Time Zones together to create bigger
time zones that could not fit into a single Time Zone.
For example, suppose you must create a Cleaning Crew Time Zone. The time zone(s) are to be set up
as follows: Monday-Friday 5 p.m.-1 a.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m.-1 p.m., no holidays. This
becomes three separate time zones, as follows.
Time Zone # Time Range
2 Monday-Friday, 5 p.m.-11:59 p.m.
(Remember, the time range cannot cross
midnight, so 11:59 p.m. is the limit.)
3 Tuesday-Saturday, 12:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m.
4 Saturday-Sunday, 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Page 38
Configuring via the Web Server
Configuring the System
Note: Time Zone 1 is reserved as a default with a time range of 24 hours, seven days a week.
So, we need to add three time zones to the panel. Then, with the Link Time Zone feature, you can link
them so that they all work together:
1. Add Time Zone 2 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start
time of 5:00 p.m.and an end time of 11:59 p.m. Leave the Link to Time Zone field blank.
2. Add Time Zone 3 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start
time of 12:00 a.m. and an end time of 1:00 a.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time
Zone 2 to link Time Zones 2 and 3 together.
3. Add Time Zone 4 and select Saturday and Sunday. Enter a start time of 8:00 a.m. and an end
time of 1:00 p.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time Zone 3 to link Time Zones 2, 3,
and 4 together.
Linked in this way, Time Zone 4 tells the NetAXS™ system that it is also to use Time Zone 3, and
Time Zone 3 tells the system that it is to also use Time Zone 2. Since Time Zone 4 is the “start” of this
linked chain, it is the Time Zone that would be operative for the Cleaning Crew Access Level. That is,
the doors to which the cleaning crew would have access would be assigned Time Zone 4. And, by
assigning them Time Zone 4, they would also have access during Time Zones 3 and 2—because they
are linked.
Note that in this example, Time Zone 2 is not linked to Time Zone 4. This is by rule. Time Zone links
should start on one end and stop at other. If you link the start of a Time Zone chain to the end, you
create a condition called a “circular interlock,” which would cause your time zones to not function
properly. The panel will send you a warning, should you try to create a circular interlock.

Holidays tab:
Figure 2-10: Configuration > Time Management > Holidays Tab
The Holidays tab enables you to:
• Create a holiday.
• Modify a holiday.
• Delete a holiday.
Note: Holidays should be considered special days of a week. They are similar, but of higher rank than
the standard Monday-Sunday. If a day programmed as a Holiday should occur in the panel, the panel
will treat that day as the Holiday type, regardless of the actual day of the week (Monday-Sunday).
During this Holiday, only Time Zones that contain that specific Holiday type will work. The Holiday
allows users to further customize how the panel works. For example, the user can block access to a
building on that day, or grant special access during that day.
Each Holiday added is considered a full day, extending from midnight to midnight. The options
available when configuring a holiday are Annual, Type, Date and Year. While Annual is enabled, the
date added as a Holiday will be a Holiday every year. This disables the Annual check box and allows a
user to select a specific year, so that only during that date and year will the Holiday selection work.

While Annual is selected, the Year box is grayed out. The NX4 can support three different Holiday
Types (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3), but a user can only select one type per day. Also of note, a single
calendar day cannot be set for more than one type of Holiday. For example, the 4th of July could be a
Type 1 Holiday, but then Type 2 and 3 would not be able to work on the 4
events that require multiple days will require a Holiday entry for each date that is to be special. For
example, Thanksgiving is usually two days, Thursday and Friday. Both of these days would require a
separate Holiday date entry and use the same Holiday Type. Beyond that, Type 1, 2, and 3 can be

Disabled – Ignores all card reads (except from a VIP card),
allows neither exit nor entry by Card-and-PIN mode or
Card-or-PIN mode. Also, free egress is not allowed.
Lockdown – Ignores all card reads (except from a VIP card),
denies door entry but allows egress.
Card and Pin – Grants access only with both a successful card
read and a valid PIN entry at the door’s keypad. You can
perform the card read and PIN entry in either sequence.
Card or Pin – Grants access with either a successful card read or
a valid PIN number entry at the door’s keypad.
Pin Only – Grants access with only a valid PIN number entered
at the door’s keypad.
Card Only – Grants access with only a successful card read.
Supervisor – Enables a supervisor to enter without allowing
access to others. When the supervisor presents his card during
the time zone just once, he gains access but does not enable
access for non-supervisory personnel. If the supervisor presents
his card twice, he enables access for all non-supervisory
personnel as well. After the supervisor presents his card twice to
allow general access, he can disable the general access for the
time zone by presenting his card again twice consecutively.
Escort – Requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor
cardholder. The supervisor must present his card first, then the
non-supervisor must present his card within ten seconds of the

2.4.2 Outputs Tab
An output, or output relay, is a switch on the panel that either energizes or de-energizes or pulses an
output device, such as a door lock or an LED. For example, a successful card read at a reader (input
device) causes the output relay switch on the panel board to change the normal state of a door lock
(output device), so that the normally locked door strike releases and permits entry. This tab configures
the lock and reader LED output relays, either as individual (discrete) outputs or groups of outputs.
Click the
Outputs tab. The Lock > Discrete tab window appears, enabling you to configure an
individual lock output. Select the output number in the dropdown list at the top of the screen. Note that
lock and reader LED outputs are associated with each of the four doors on a NetAXS™ panel.

Table 2-6: Configuration > Doors > Output Tab Field Descriptions
Setting Description
Name Enter a unique name to identify the device.
Pulse Time Specifies the duration for which the device will assume abnormal
status. For example, it specifies how long a horn will sound or a door
strike will remain released. Enter the desired number of hours (1024
maximum), minutes (60 maximum), and seconds (60 maximum).
The sum of all three units comprises the pulse time. Note that you
can express seconds in tenths of a second. The default pulse time of
the reader LED is two seconds, and the default pulse time of the door
lock is 10 seconds. You may want to change the reader LED pulse
time to match the pulse time of the door lock, for example, to enable
a guard to know that the door is still open, or to support handicap
access.
Time Zones Specifies two schedules:
•
Energized – sets the period during which the output switches
are automatically energized.
•
Disable Interlock – sets the period during which the interlock, or
a programmed interaction between selected inputs and outputs
will be disabled.
Latching When selected, this toggles a relay with either a valid card, interlock,
or manual pulse.
Interlock Enables you to disable the interlock, or programmed interaction
between two points.
TZ Card Toggle Requires, like the First Card Rule, a valid card read within the time
zone to enable the time zone (period in which doors are unlocked) to
take effect. Unlike the First Card Rule, however, the user can swipe
the card a second time to return the doors to a locked state. Note that
both TZ Card Toggle and First Card Rule cannot be enabled at the
same time.

2.5 Configuring Access Levels
Every card is assigned an access level. The access level specifies the time zone, or time schedule,
during which the card holder can be granted access at a specific door. For example, an access level
embedded in an employee’s card might allow the employee to enter the facility only through door 2
from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
This section explains how to create the access levels that subsequently can be assigned to cards.
Note: Since an access level is defined by door and time zone configurations, you must configure the
door (see “Configuring the Doors“ on page 31) and the time zone (see “Configuring Time
Management“ on page 24) before configuring an access level.
Click Access Levels to display the Access Level Configuration screen:

Steps to create an access level:
1. Select the door(s). The access level will allow access only at the door(s) you select here.
2. Enter the name of the access level in the
Name field. This should be a unique name that
identifies the general user group.

OK at the prompt to delete the access level.
Note that when you create an access level for a panel in a loop configuration, you must manually
configure this access level at each panel in the loop. For example, suppose you have three panels in a
loop, and you add a Master Access level to panel 1 and you configure readers 1-4 on panel 1 with this
access level. When you save the access level configuration at panel 1, the access level is automatically
copied to panels 2 and 3. However, the readers at panels 2 and 3 are not yet configured. So you still
must go to panels 2 and 3 to assign the access level to the readers at these panels. To do this, navigate
back to the Select Panel on the NetAXS™ main screen, select the next panel in the loop, and configure
that panel’s doors according to the instructions in this section.

2.7 Configuring Other I/O & Groups Tab
The NetAXS™ panel provides up to 14 inputs and eight outputs. Two of the inputs and four of the
outputs are “other” inputs and outputs, because you can use them for other than door lock/unlock
functions. This section explains how to configure these other inputs, outputs, and groups (for pulse and
time zone).
2.7.1 Inputs Tab
This tab enables you to configure other input devices on inputs 13 and 14 on Terminal Block 8, and on
the inputs on downstream NX4IN boards daisy-chained to Terminal Block 10. The downstream inputs
are numbered 25-96.
Note: The NetAXS™ panel supports two downstream board types:
A NetAXS™ panel supports a maximum of six daisy-chained downstream boards—two NX4IN boards
and four NX4OUT. An NX4IN module has 32 supervised, four-state inputs that are limited to 2.2K
ohms resistance. The NX4OUT has two supervised inputs and 16 SPDT relay outputs; each input is
limited to 2.2K ohms resistance. Each board is configured with a unique address in the Configuration >
System > Downstream Devices tab (see “Downstream Devices Tab“ on page 23).
On panels with internal power supply, the Power Fail input generates an alarm when primary power is
lost as indicated by the power supply. The Panel Tamper input generates an alarm when the NetAXS™
cabinet has been forced open. The Downstream inputs are available for general use.
• NX4IN – Provides 32 inputs and no outputs.
• NX4OUT – Provides two inputs and 16 outputs.

2.8 Configuring Interlocks
An interlock is a programmed connection between two points. The interlock causes an input point,
output point, or group of output points to act in a specified manner when another input point, output
point, or group of output points changes its state. An action on one point cause a reaction from a
second point on the same panel or attached downstream board. For example, when a motion detector
(input) detects movement, it causes a horn (output) to sound.

Overview 65
Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel 66
3.1 Overview
This chapter explains the NetAXS™ configuration functions as accessed via the
Quick Start Wizard (QSW) in WIN-PAK 2005, WIN-PAK PRO 2005, WIN-PAK SE,
and WIN-PAK PE. The QSW creates the ADV options and adds the panel to the
Control Map and the Master Access Level.
3
These functions should be performed only by the NetAXS™ system administrator or
service personnel.
Notes:
• WIN-PAK 2.0, release 4, uses the same steps provided in this chapter to
configure NetAXS™; however, its screens are not exactly the same.
• NetAXS™ cannot be added to WIN-PAK PRO Release 4 or older.
• For a new Site installation, or for adding to an existing Site, follow the
procedures in this chapter as you would when you add an N-1000-IV-X panel.
One exception to this is that the NetAXS™ panel does not support the use of
the C-100-A1 (20ma current loop installations). Therefore, when you select
the Loop type, 485 ACK<-NAK is the only supported type. Direct is reserved
for NS2P; C-100 is not supported.
• If the NetAXS™ panel is configured as a Gateway panel, it appears to
WIN-PAK as an N-485-PCI or N-485-HUB. Using the NetAXS™ panel as a
Gateway, you should not add N-1000/PW-2000 panels as a downstream panel
to the NetAXS™ gateway. The NetAXS™ gateway is designed for more
efficient downstream communications than what can be supported by the
N-1000/PW2000 panels.
NetAXS™ Access Control Unit User’s Guide, Document 800-04410, Revision A 65
Page 76
Configuring via WIN-PAK
Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel
The NetAXS™ Gateway panel’s baud rate is set configured via the NetAXS™ web server (see
the NetAXS™ Access Control Unit Installation Guide for instructions). When you set the Loop
Type in the QSW to 485 ACK-NAK, you define the baud rate to be 19.2 kilobits per second.
This baud rate and the panel’s baud rate must match to communicate properly. For WIN-PAK
SE or WIN-PAK PE systems, you can adjust the baud rate of the N-485 device to 115 kilobits
per second for optimum performance.
3.2 Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel
To add a NetAXS™ panel, first create the panel in the WIN-PAK Quick Start Wizard, and then
complete the configuration manually with the WIN-PAK Panel Configuration screen.
3.2.1 Creating the Panel with Quick Start Wizard
Add a new panel by selecting its Loop and configuring the following from the Quick Start Wizard
Panel screen:
• Panel type (Select N1000-4X/PW2000-4X from the dropdown list)
• Panel name (Loop[Loop number]-Panel [Panel address]
• Panel address (Select from the dropdown list)
Figure 3-1: Quick Start Wizard - Panel Screen
Note: Each panel on a communication loop must have a unique address. The address must correspond
with the address that is set by DIP switches on the panel.
After adding the NetAXS™ panel via the QSW, you must update the Reader and Input interlocks to
match them with the default wiring of the NetAXS™ panel. Proceed to “Configuring the Panel
Manually“ on page 67 and make the necessary changes.

3.2.2 Configuring the Panel Manually
Use the WIN-PAK Panel Configuration screen to complete the NetAXS™ panel configuration
manually. All of the configuration screen options are supported for NetAXS™ panel configuration,
except where they are noted otherwise in this section.
Note: You cannot initialize the NetAXS™ panel from the WIN-PAK Control Map until you complete
the steps in this section.
If you are using the Device Map to add the NetAXS™ panel manually, add it as you would an
N-1000-IV-X panel.
1. Display the Basic tab of the WIN-PAK Panel Configuration screen. The Name, Description,
and Type fields contain the entries selected in the Quick Start Wizard:

you are not using panel inputs for door status or egress, you only need to dissolve the
interlocks. Note that if you do not dissolve the default N-1000-IV interlocks, an error will occur
during NetAXS™ panel initializations.
All Inputs tab functions are available to NetAXS™ configuration. However, not all inputs are
available and their default functions have changed. NetAXS™ supports inputs 1-14. The
default functions are listed below. Their default values are assumed to be zero, unless otherwise
noted. You must change the interlocking.

• Alarms – Alarms are events, or system transactions, that have been assigned
alarm status. These often include events such as an invalid card read or a
forced door.
• Events – Events are the recorded transactions of the NetAXS™ system. For
example, an event card found, number of users logged in.
• Inputs – Inputs are terminals located on the NetAXS™ panel; the inputs are
wired to input devices, such as a door-position switch.
• Outputs – Output relays are relays located on the NetAXS™ panel that are
connected to output devices, such as a door lock.
• System – This includes current capacities and limits.

4.5 Monitoring Outputs
An output is an output device that changes its normal state when it is energized, pulsed, or time-zone
controlled. For example, a successful card read at a reader pulses a door lock. The lock changes its
normally locked state to an unlocked state and the cardholder opens the door.
A NetAXS™ panel supports one output for each of its four doors. The panel also supports four
additional outputs for auxiliary devices and 64 downstream outputs. Outputs can be configured singly
as discrete outputs (see “Outputs Tab“ on page 38 and “Outputs Tab“ on page 55) or collectively as a
group of outputs (“Groups Tab“ on page 57).
Note: The Pulse and Restore to Time Zone buttons will only function when an output or group has a
valid pulse time or a time zone assigned.

Upgrading NetAXS™ Firmware
A.1 Overview
This appendix provides instructions for upgrading NetAXS™ firmware to release
3.1.8.
This version is a new release; it replaces all builds of releases 1 and 2, and it includes
all functionality provided in NetAXS™ releases 1 and 2. See “What’s New in Release
3.1.8“ on page ix for a description of the new features included in release 3.1.8.
This release package includes three components:
• 1-NetAXSupdaterApp.bin—updater file.
• 2-NetAXSOSimage363.bin—operating system file.
• 3-NetAXSimage03.01.08.bin—applications file.
Note that the files are preceded with a number to indicate the order in which you
install them.
A
A.2 NetAXS™ Release 3.1.8 Upgrade Procedure
A.2.1 Planning the Upgrade
Because upgrading a loop takes some time, you will want to plan the upgrade to
minimize its impact on the access control of your building. You should allow for
approximately 20 minutes to upgrade one gateway panel, and 25 minutes for one
downstream panel (switched to gateway mode). Depending upon your configuration,
you may be able save time by starting multiple panel upgrades on your loop
simultaneously.
A.2.2 Mixed Revision Loops
In a loop configuration, upgrade the gateway panel first. If you are running version
2.1.11 or older on the downstream panels, you must upgrade your whole loop to
release 3. Even if you are running version 2.2.21, we recommend that you upgrade
your entire loop to release 3.
A gateway installed with release 3, however, can still communicate with downstream
panels while they are running release 2. If you leave your downstream panels installed
with an older version, all functionality will be available except access-level editing.
NetAXS Access Control Unit User’s Guide, 800-04410, Revision A 89
Page 100
Upgrading NetAXS™ Firmware
NetAXS™ Release 3.1.8 Upgrade Procedure
Release 3 has a new access-level database; therefore, any release 3 access-level database changes will
not take effect until the entire loop is upgraded to release 3.
A.2.3 Uploading Data from the Panel
Note: Before you upgrade a web-based panel, we recommend that you back up your databases. The
upgrade scripts bring all your panel data forward into the new version without the need for user
intervention. Therefore, it is always recommended to have backup copies of your panel’s databases,
and an upgrade provides an opportunity to keep your backups current. Use following procedure to
backup each of your panel’s databases. The backup features are per panel, so you need to select the
panel to backup.
1. In the web server, select Configuration > System > File Management.
2. Click File Management to display the File Management tab.
3. Under “upload,” select each of the following upload options from the drop-down menu: Cards
and Common Configuration; Panel Configuration; Card, Common, and Panel Configuration.
4. Click Upload to upload the data to the host PC or laptop.
5. Follow the instructions to save a backup file on your PC. Give the backup file a useful name for
easy restoring.
A.2.4 Upgrades to Gateway vs. Multi-drop Panels
You can upgrade multi-drop panels in the same way you upgrade the gateway panels via the web
screen, but multi-drop panel downloads (via 485) are currently very slow (an average of about two
hours).
In order to reduce the time required to install this version on your “downstream” panel, you can
remove each panel from the loop and configure it as a gateway panel. To do this, refer to the NetAXS™
Access Control Unit User’s Guide, section 1-2, “Connecting to the NetAXS™ Web Server,” and
follow these steps:
1. Set DIP switch 6 to “ON.”
2. Connect directly to each panel via a Local Area Network or a direct-connect Ethernet
connection.
3. Return their configuration back to a downstream panel once the upgrade has been successfully
completed.
Note: You cannot have more than one gateway on a loop, so it is critical that you disconnect the 485
cables on the panel you are upgrading.
To perform the upgrade, follow these steps:
1. Before starting, make sure your panels are not buffered. If you have not logged in to the web
pages lately, or WIN-PAK has not been connected recently, you should login and make sure
you have current events coming in. This will ensure that the panels are not buffered, and you
will not have to wait for the un-buffer to complete before starting. If you try to login and get
“time-outs,” your panels are probably buffered and you should wait for them to complete their
un-buffer before starting the upgrade.
