Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will United Technologies Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries (collectively “UTC”) be liable for any lost profits or business opportunities, loss of use, business
interruption, loss of data, or any other indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages under any theory of
liability, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, product liability, or otherwise. Because some jurisdictions do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages the preceding limitation
may not apply to you. In any event the total liability of UTC shall not exceed the purchase price of the product.
The foregoing limitation will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether UTC
has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether any remedy fails of its essential
purpose.
Installation in accordance with this manual, applicable codes, and the instructions of the authority having
jurisdiction is mandatory.
While every precaution has been taken during the preparation of this manual to ensure the accuracy of its
contents, UTC assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions.

Installation
1. On the control unit, do the following:
Install a 12SW/24LED operator layer module, if an unused switch and indicator is not already available. For
installation instructions, see the product installation sheet.
Install the EST3(X) wireless interface. See “Appendix A – Installing an EST3(X) wireless interface” on page
19.
Note: In the figure above, the first LED-switch pair on the operator layer module is used. In practice, you can
use any available toggle switch and LED indicator. On EST3 control units, you can also use a 12SW/12LED
module instead of a 12SW/24LED module.
4. Open the Rules Editor (Rules > Rules Editor), and then add the rules below.
Note: The [STARTUP] rule below is required only when the wireless interface is connected to an EST3X
control unit as shown in Figure 8 on page 23.

4. Configure the switch used to turn the WiFi Port on and off, and label the status indicators as shown below.
Note: In the figure above, the first switch/LED group on the operator layer module is used. In practice, you
can use any available toggle switch and LED indicators.
Note: In the figure above, the first indicator on the operator layer module is used. In practice, you can use any
available indicator.
6. Configure AND Group 1 as shown below. AND Group 1 activates a rule that turns the WiFi Port Trouble LED
on when the WiFi port is on — but not communicating (i.e., the COM port’s pseudo point is active).
8. Open the Rules Editor (Rules > Rules Editor), and then add the rules below.
Note: The [STARTUP] rule below is required only when the wireless interface is connected to an EST3X
control unit as shown in Figure 8 on page 23.

Installation
1. On the 2-in-1 laptop, do the following:
• Install FireWorks 8.1 (see “FireWorks 8.1” on page 43).
• Change the computer name to something meaningful. For example: FW-CLIENT-X, where X is the next
available seat on the nonredundant network. See “Changing the name of your Windows 10 2-in-1
laptop/tablet PC” below.
2. Configure the TP-Link TL-WA901ND for Client Mode operation, and then connect it to an MN-FNS switch.
The TP-Link TL-WA901ND must be within range of a site WLAN access point.
For configuration instructions, see TL-WA901ND User Guide (P/N 1910011618) or TL-WA901ND Quick
Installation Guide (P/N 7106505985).
3. On the FireWorks server, add a client workstation to the project. For instructions, see the topic “Adding a
client workstation,” in System Builder Help.

Notes
• The network interface connection on most computers auto-negotiate. If you experience communication issues
between the configuration computer and the MN-COM1S, try using an Ethernet crossover cable.
• The MN-COM1S ships with a power cable for connecting a 24 VDC, filtered, and regulated power supply. If a
24 VDC power supply is not available, use a universal AC adapter with compatible ratings.
Step 2. Change the IPv4 properties of the configuration computer’s Local Area Connection
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Network Connections.
2. On the Network Connections screen, right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
4. In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address, and
then set the IP address and Subnet mask values as shown below.
4. On the Device Upgrade Wizard – Step 1 of 5 screen, click Create a custom installation by specifying
individual files, and then click Next.
