2. e Sensors can be grouped into different sensor networks for multi station systems Each station can only have a single network connection to the sensor network However each station can have multiple network connections to the client network 18 which allows different client PCs to process data separately This is accomplished through the use of two NICs in the station each on a different subnet with a different static IP Different channels can then be set up to direct data to separate client PCs 3 3 FireSync Client Basic FireSync Client is a software application that can be used to set up demonstrate or diagnose problems with a chroma scan 3x00 system The following sections describe how to use FireSync Client to connect to a system and verify that all connected devices are functioning normally For a detailed description of the FireSync Client application see the section entitled FireSync Client Complete in the Software chapter of this manual 3 3 1 Installation The FireSync Client application is available for Windows and can be downloaded from the LMI Technologies support website To begin download the software and install it on a suitable client machine The client machine should have an Ethernet adaptor that can be configured for a static IP address and that supports 1000 Mb s operation The user provided Station PC is typically configured with the address 192 168 1 10 but can be configured as required Set the client
