6.1.2 MFW - Firecomms Engineering Software
MFW is a program that runs on 32 bit Windows systems; Windows 2000, XP or later. It
communicates with a Firecoder or a Firecomms System program using an IP link, and can
be used to configure, test and monitor a system either locally or remotely.
MFW can also send basic GD-92 commands to older systems via a Firecoder or a
Firecomms System.
6.1.2 MFU - Firecomms User Interface
MFU is a program that runs on 32 bit Windows systems; Windows 2000, XP or later. It
communicates with a Mobilise Agent on a Firecomms System using an IP link, and can be
used to send commands to, and receive status messages from, the system.
6.1.3 MFWS – Firecomms Full Screen Display

6.2 ROUTER AGENT
6.2.1 Brigade/Node Number/Names
The brigade number is assigned by the Home Office, and is unique for each brigade. Each
node in a brigade MUST have a different node number. When changing the brigade or node
number, remember that the node will then only respond to commands sent to the new
brigade/node number once that node has been reset.
The Node Name contains the text name of the current node. The Station Code contains a
short name for reports - this string is also included in the name of log files saved to disk.
6.2.2 Software Version
This shows the current node software version.
6.2.3 Router Table
The router table at a node describes the routes available by each bearer type from this node
to other nodes, either directly or indirectly via a directly connected node.
A separate entry is required for each bearer type; the preference parameter specifies the order
in which the routes will be tried (1=Highest). Only routes with the "Used" flag set to "Y" will be
used.
To specify a route to a destination directly connected to this node, specify the destination in
the 'NextNode' field and leave the 'Destination' field set to zero.
If a range of nodes is directly connected to this node via the same bearer type, leave the
'NextNode' field set to zero and specify the range of addresses that are directly connected in
the 'Destination' field.
