What’s New in Release 3.1.8
Dynamic Screens and Performance Enhancements
Dynamic screens are screens that can refresh data without re-submitting. In the 
Honeywell NetAXS™ panel, there is now a persistent connection between the web 
screens and the panel. This allows status updates from the panel to be pushed out to 
the screens automatically to display the data seamlessly on the screen. 
In addition to the dynamic screens, other panel-side enhancements have been made 
that improve screen performance. Now the web server detects when panels of a loop 
come online faster. In the past, there was a 30- to 45-second delay during which a 
panel could be online before the web would detect it. Data transfer between the panel 
and web browsers has been optimized to reduce bandwidth requirements and improve 
screen response times overall.
Multi-language Support
Multi-language support consists of “language files” installed with the firmware or 
imported to a panel. A language selection is available on a per-user basis. The 
language files are available by upload from the panel or from the Honeywell website. 
You can customize the upload. 
There are options to import, export, or delete the language files from a panel. During 
upgrades, the language files with default names are replaced by those included with 
the firmware, so we recommend that customizations be saved and imported with a 
different filename than any present after upgrade. After toggling firmware sets, some 
phrases may change or appear in English until the language file(s) matching the active 
firmware version are imported, or the next upgrade is completed. 
						

							xwww.honeywell.com CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
A requested feature was added to the NetAXS™ panel to support card holder updates and additions to 
the database via a CSV (comma separated variable) file. In order to support this, a CSV report is first 
created via a request from the web page. This report can be edited directly or loaded into a spreadsheet 
to be edited. If loaded into a spreadsheet, the file can be saved in CSV format. The modified CSV file 
can then be downloaded to the gateway and loop panels. 
Also, an option is provided to either replace or append the card database. Replacing the database 
deletes the existing card database, and appending the existing database adds new cards and updates to 
existing cards, if needed. This file is downloaded first to the gateway panel, and then automatically to 
each downstream panel. The file is sent to the downstream panel as a background process that allows 
other web screens to continue to operate. Note that the panels will not need to reboot after the file is 
downloaded. 
Reverse IP
Reverse IP is implemented in the NetAXS™ panel to function with the WIN-PAK CS Reverse IP 
communication setting. This allows the panel to exist behind a firewall while communication to 
WIN-PAK CS is conducted on a pre-set port. This allows the NetAXS™ panel to be on a DHCP 
network. Reverse IP connections are currently limited to one NetAXS™ panel per WIN-PAK CS port. 
The NetAXS™ panel does not currently support encrypted reverse IP communication.
