1.2 OpenGN Application Installation
The OpenGN installation process is fully automated. The installer automatically detects and installs any missing prerequisite components without establishing an Internet connection to download any required files. Conversely, the customer has the option of installing the prerequisites separately from the installation package and then manually running the OpenGN installer afterwards.
Attention: The user installing OpenGN must have Administrator rights.
Windows 7 Users
During the installation and configuration process always run applications as an Administrator.
If you receive a Program Compatibility Issue click Run Program.
To install OpenGN
1. Browse to the location that you unzipped the OpenGN installer to. Launch setup.exe to install the application and the software prerequisites. If prompted to install any of the applications listed in Table 1, always accept the EULA and Install the application.
2. After installing the additional required applications, the OpenGN setup screen will appear. Click Next to proceed to the EULA screen.

1.3 Connecting OpenGN to a Mircom FX-2000 FACP
It is recommended that you connect to the FACP before Launching OpenGN. A successful connection requires:
•
A physical connection from the FACP to the workstation with the XML Adapter.
•
Configuring the XML Adapter to transfer communications from the FACP to the Main
OpenGN workstation.
1.3.1 Physical Connection to a Mircom FX-2000 FACP
Physical connection to a Mircom FX-2000 FACP can be accomplished using one of two methods. The determining factor for choosing a method is the distance between the FACP and the workstation with the XML adapter installed.
If the FACP is within 50 feet of the workstation:
•
Connect the FACP and the workstation directly via RS-232 as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 FX-2000 within 50 feet of the workstation with the XML Adapter installed
If the FACP is further than 50 feet from the workstation:
•
Connect the FACP via RS-485 to a RAX-LCD that is no more than 50 feet from the workstation
•
Connect the RAX-LCD to the workstation via RS-232 as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 FX-2000 further than 50 feet of the workstation with the XML Adapter installed
To connect to a Mircom FX-2000 FACP via serial port
1. Open the FACP enclosure.
2. Open the FACP chassis to access the FX-2000 main board.
3. Connect network serial cable to the RS-232 serial port (P9) on the main board.

1.3.3 Exporting the config.xml file
The FX-2000 Configurator produces the config.xml file that allows the XML Adapter to send panel and device information to OpenGN.
The export procedure is typically a one time operation, unless the Job becomes modified in which case the Job must be exported again.
This file contains the following Job based device information:
• Device types
• Device classes
• Device hierarchy
To export the XML file
1. Open the FACP Configuration Application. The Main Display window appears.
3. Select the file type as XML and save the file to a specified location.
4. Close the application and proceed with the rest of the configuration.

2. Open a web browser and go to http://esd.mircom.com/.
3. From the ESD section download and save to your desktop the latest FX-2000 Firmware and Configurator files. As of printing the latest firmware and configurator files are V2-13-
29.fx2 and V2.3.25 respectivley.
18 i
4. Connect the serial or USB cable from the UIMA interface module to the workstation.
Note:
When using a USB port with the UIMA cable ensure that the proper drivers are installed on your workstation. The required USB drivers are located on the CD provided with the UIMA cable package.
5. Connect the other end of UIMA cable (ribbon cable) to FX-2000 main board. Depending on the model number of FX motherboard, connect the UIMA ribbon cable as follows:
MD-764
"L" shaped board used for small build applications
If any ALC-198S, ALC-396S or ALC-H16 are used, the interface module connects to connector P4 on the last installed loop controller module.
If no ALC series module is used, connect the interface module to P3.
MD-757
"L" shaped (Super) board used for large build applications
MD-596 rectangular shaped board
Connect the interface module to P4 on the last installed loop controller module.
The interface module is always connected to connector P2.
6. Open the downloaded FX-2000 Configurator.

To upgrade only particular CPU Nodes, highlight the specific node in the list and check the box Selected CPUs Only and click Upgrade. A FX-2000 Configuration window appears.
13. Click Yes to begin the upgrade process. When the upgrade process completes an indication will appear on the screen.
22
!
Attention: Once upgrade begins it will wipe out any existing database job in the
FX-2000 hardware.
Ensure the workstation does not hibernate, enter sleep mode or accidentally disconnect during the upgrade. This will corrupt your panel and cause programming issues.
14. Unplug the UIMA cable from the panel and wait for the panel to reset.
15. To confirm the firmware version in the panel, on the panel press and hold the Menu and
Info buttons. The firmware version will display on the LCD screen.
16. After the firmware upgrade is complete, resend the database job file to the panel to restore the system configuration.
