1 [ Product Announcement ] StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3: TAC I/NET transition overview The release of TAC I/NET SEVEN v2.43 software allows sites to transition to a SmartStruxure solution. This announcement is an overview of the TAC I/NET transition functionality available in StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3. Additonal details are in the StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3 release materials. This document is structured as follows to help you find the information you need: Transition overview: description of the TAC I/NET transition to a SmartStruxure solution process Transition candidates: description of ideal site candidates for StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3 transitions Scalability: Guidelines for maximum system size System requirements: machine requirements (to prepare) for transition includes operating system, database and web browser versions supported Product Support: Contact numbers (by region) and global address for technical product support Regional contacts: names and contact information for regional launch managers for more information PRODUCT AT A GLANCE Product Announcement Number PA Material can be found on the Buildings Business Extranet: StruxureWare Building Operation Other release materials include: TAC I/NET Transition to a SmartStruxure solution Overview presentation TAC I/NET Transition to a SmartStruxure solution Demonstration video StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3 Product Announcement Technical documentation is available on

2 Transition overview Support for TAC I/NET transition to SmartStruxure solution is available with StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3. TAC I/NET system preparing for transition with StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3: Assure that the TAC I/NET site meets the following to prepare for transition to StruxureWare Building Operation: 1. Transition all workstations to TAC I/NET SEVEN v Replace any dial links that need to interface with StruxureWare Building Operation (e.g. NPR Dial, Int egrated Dial, Auto-Dial/Auto- Answer) with NetPlus Routers (i.e. Xenta 527-NPRs). 3. Assure that all LAN Cont rollers and Sub- LAN Controllers have been updated with firmware that is compatible with I/NET v2.42 and above. 4. Assure all workstation machine specifications will support I/NET v2.43 and StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3 requirements. 5. Resolve any existing performance issues at the site such as: Orphaned points Offline controllers Performance issues PA Page 2 of 6 Nov ember 2012 jwm

3 Transition to a SmartStruxure solution: * * StruxureWare Building Operation WorkStation software is installed on the same machines as TAC I/NET SEVEN v2.43. ** Server includes software only; server machine is not included. Enterprise Server software can be installed on a WorkStation machine. Add a StruxureWare Building Operation software component, including: o Enterprise Server Install StruxureWare Building Operation WorkStation software on TAC I/NET workstation machines o Requires I/NET Seven v2.43 software for transition support Note: TAC I/NET database remains in the system. After transition, leverage the benefits of StruxureWare Building Operation. Use the WebStation interface to access StruxureWare Building Operation through a web browser. Add Reports Server for customized system reports. o Use the WebReports interface to access the Reports Server through a web browser. PA Page 3 of 6 Nov ember 2012 jwm

4 Expanding a transitioned system: Enterprise Server and Reports Server include software only; server machine is not included. If Reports Server is included in the system design, it can be installed on the same machine as the Enterprise Server (but cannot be installed on a WorkStation machine). Once the site has transitioned to a SmartStruxure solution, continue expanding the system using: Automation Server and I/O modules Controllers and devices natively supporting open protocols: BACnet, LON, Modbus, and web services Transition candidates SmartStruxure transition using StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3 is targeted for TAC I/NET building management sites. Compatible for TAC I/NET sites using X527-NPRs and NPR 2000s o Includes X527, used only for NPR (routing Controller LAN to IP) and web access Any dial links that need to interface with StruxureWare Building Operation (e.g. NPR Dial, Integrated Dial, Auto-Dial/Auto-Answer) must be replaced with NetPlus Routers (i.e. Xenta 527-NPRs) for StruxureWare Building Operation to connect automatically to each link. Gateways (i.e. ICI or Xenta 913) in use at TAC I/NET sites will continue to operate. The I/NET objects which represent third party devices can be viewed from StruxureWare Building Operation. Sites including TAC I/NET Security: If an integrated (HVAC and Security) site chooses to transition, they will need to have two parallel user interfaces, treating the site like two systems: 1. StruxureWare Building Operation for BMS 2. TAC I/NET SEVEN Workstation for Security PA Page 4 of 6 Nov ember 2012 jwm

5 Alarms, events, intruder detection devices and door status information will be visible from StruxureWare Building Operation. However, all card holder (individuals) related objects and data, access rights and functions (such as door control, badging and video integration) will require the operator to use the I/NET Host software. Sites that have an I/NET to Vista transition: If an integrated (I/NET to Vista) site chooses to transition to a SmartStruxure solution, they will need to have two parallel user interfaces: 1. StruxureWare Building Operation (for I/NET and SmartStruxure) 2. Vista Server/Workstation (for all Vista additions to the I/NET site) Scalability TAC I/NET transition to a SmartStruxure solution has been tested for sites up to 100,000 points. The following serves as general scalability guidelines: Current TAC I/NET system: Max # of points per Enterprise Server 100,000 Max # of LAN controllers per Enterprise Server 300 Max # of Links per Enterprise Server 55 Max # of controllers per Link 32 Add-on StruxureWare solution components: Max # of concurrent users (includes sum of WorkStation + WebStation users simultaneously) 10 Max # of Automation Servers added 32 System requirements For your reference, below is a summary of the machine requirements (e.g. operating systems, web browsers) supported by both TAC I/NET Seven v2.43 and StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3. Prepare sites for transition by ensuring these machines are at these versions. WorkStation (including graphics editor, and script & function block programming editors) : Software requirements Supported versions Additional required softw are Operating systems Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) Microsoft Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) Microsoft Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) with Update KB with Update KB with Update KB with Update KB Note: For sites using MNL controllers, Microsoft Visio 2010 SP1 or Microsoft Visio 2007 SP2 must be installed on configuration/programming machines before installing WorkStation software (including editors). Microsoft Visio 2003 is supported, however upgrade is recommended. PA Page 5 of 6 Nov ember 2012 jwm
