What is the process for connecting and programming VeriFire Tools to the N16 for offline panel programming?

To program the N16 offline, create the system database on a PC running VeriFire Tools (Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit) before connecting to the panel for download (Page 18) [1].

Local connection is typically made using a standard USB-C cable plugged into the port located under the N16 touchscreen (Page 18) [1].

1. Create the site-specific program and backup file on the PC using the VeriFire Tools utility (Page 2) [1].

2. Connect the PC to the panel via the USB-C port on the display, the J11 USB connection, or the J1 NUP port (Page 18, 41) [1].

3. Log in using the service tool password (default 00000000) to authenticate the download (Page 6) [1].

4. Perform the download while physically present at the panel if changing the basic program (Page 41) [1].

5. Test the control panel according to NFPA 72 standards after the download is complete (Page 41) [1].
