4.2 Data Arrays/Descriptors
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable
the FieldServer for Notifier NCA2/NFS2-3030 communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to
be declared in the “Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client Side
Nodes” section, and the required data from Notifier Panels needs to be mapped in the “Client Side Map
Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can be found below.
Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default.
