Station Configuration Parameters

Host name

Label indicating the station address. You can either enter a host name or select it from the network (Browse) or obtain the host name of the current station (Current Station). This setting is required.

The host name for the Main Server is set during system installation (field is read-only).

This setting is not available for the Default Web Client, which connects anonymously.

Type

Indicates the type of station: server, client, FEP, anonymous web client (Default Web Client), identified web client (Web client), or web server.

This setting is available only when configuring a new client (client, web server, or web client). Once you save your configuration, you cannot change this setting.

Client Profile

From the drop-down list, you can select the Client Profile that will be applied to the current station. The Client Profile customizes the appearance and behavior of the Summary bar, Event List, and other user interface elements involved in event handling. For instructions, see Setting the Client Profile of a Station. For background information, see the reference section.

Flex Client Profile

From the drop-down list, you can select the profile that will be applied to Flex Client anonymous or identified web clients. For instructions, see Setting the Client Profile For Flex Client.

NOTICE

The Flex Client profile, which can be applied to Flex Client web clients, customizes only a few aspects of the default profile of the Flex Client browser-based web application. For more details, see the reference section.
This setting is independent from the Client Profile setting, which can be applied to an individual Desigo CC user or station to determine the specific user interface and behavior of the Desigo CC software.

Control Station

It sets whether the current station is able to control fire panels. For instructions, see Enabling Control Station in Danger Management Profiles.

Information

This setting is not available (the check box is read-only) for the Desigo CC anonymous web client and Flex Client anonymous web client.
This setting is not applicable to Building Automation Client Profiles.

• If the Control Station check box is cleared (default), the station cannot manage fire commands, and the operator can view (but not issue) fire commands. When this setting is not set, to properly configure the station, remember to disable the Command Groups within the relevant scope (for example, Fire).
• If the Control Station check box is selected, the station can manage fire commands, and the operator can issue fire commands. To properly configure the control station, you must also create a fire scope, and enable the Command Groups.

Closed Mode

Sets whether the current station operates in a special, locked-down mode where the user cannot shut down Desigo CC or access the operating system functions.

Default is Closed mode check box cleared. This setting is not available (the check box is read-only) for web clients. For instructions, see Setting Up a Closed Mode Station. For background information, see the reference section.

Certificate

This field displays only when you configure an identified web client and is a required setting. It sets the host certificate that the web client will use to identify itself to the Desigo CC server. You can select from a store location (Select certificate) a certificate that was imported into the server computer or you can remove the current certificate (Clear selection) and select another certificate. For instructions, see Configure the Identified Web Client Station in System Manager.
