I have a question on this. We have installed the Fiber nic cards, obtained from Foxboro, we are now trying to get the software installed and configured. We are having trouble with the sys def looking for the switch. On the installation the install will fail and say that it could not find switch. Can someone provide how to do this. We have a AW (H92) connected via fiber to a FCP270 and that is it. Can this be done or not.

The Fiber nic's have a modified firmware which allows them to communicate with I/A's protocol, the comex. The minimum you need is fiber nic's from Foxboro. Once you have that, however, if all you are going to do is 1 AW and 1 CP, you can actually connect them together without a switch. If you require more stations, ie, WP's and more CP's then, yes, you will need a switch, and no, it does not need to be managed, but your system monitor will not see that switch and show it as failed. Additionally, you will have to deal with licenses, that is an issue that you and your Foxboro rep will have to deal with...

I am trying to keep the cost down, so here is the question: Can I utilize non-standard switches(non-managed) for my network. My AW does not have Fiber Nic Cards. I was planning on utilizing a fiber to copper switch. Is this possible?? =20 Thanks=20 =20 Bill Tolrud Senior Control Engineer 218.206.4281 cell www.mavtechglobal.com <http://www.mavtechglobal.com/>=20 =20 =09 ________________________________ This E-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.
