NWare--Which build should I download.
  • Moving forward, we will maintain both the newest version of NWare, as well as the previous version, as downloads available on this website.
  • This is to ease the finishing of a project that has already begun. You will find the resources readily available for Turnover CDs, bringing new computers on-line, or if you just want to use the older version.
 
NWare - NION Configuration and Control Software -- Current Build
  • Supports Windows XP Pro and Vista Business and higher--Other Windows versions may work, but are not supported.
NWare 1.4.1 (27.004Mb) This is the latest version of NWare. This install will create and install to NWare 1.4.1 folder, copying any user created files (devices, projects, scripts, etc.) to this new folder from the NWare folder. Be sure to actually read the Release Notes in the Help Files!! 02/25/2008
Kiosk Mode 1.4.1 Available Soon. Because Kiosk is also included with the standard NWare installation, you don't always need this program. This download installs only the files necessary to run NWare:Kiosk on a Windows 2k/XP PC. Normally you install NWare:Kiosk on an end-user's PC so they can access only Kiosk mode exported pages. 02/25/2008
NWare On-line Help Files We are currently re-building and adding to the help files. Our full-time tech writer is busy writing new topics and updates the new version several times a month. So if you can't find the right answer in the help files included with NWare, look here. And if the answer wasn't here the last time you looked, look again, because it might have been added recently. 04/14/2008

Example Projects
  • Here we will add NPA project files to showcase interesting features.
  • The latest version is usually necessary to compile and deploy the files
Control Modifier (0.037Mb) In this project, the Control Modifier device from MWare is recreated in both a Python version and a version using only Control Operator devices. The project serves two purposes. Obviously, you can use the Control Modifier device in your own project. Either one works identically, except the Control Operator version requires no external script. Hopefully it is also a useful Python/Logic example too. 03/22/2006
MediaMatrix Telephone Hybrid (0.110Mb) This example shows a way of using Python's serial module to control the functionality of the MediaMatrix Telephone Hybrid. You can use this as an example for adaptation to any other serial controlled product. 12/09/2005
 
Control Manager
  • ControlManager is a powerful server application that makes managing just one or dozens of NIONs easy.
  • ControlManager is configured and controlled with NWare.
  • Allows control of SNMP-enabled devices such as network switches, projectors, etc.
ConMan 1.2.5 (7.387Mb)

ConMan is the software component of ControlManager. The PC that runs this server software is called a ControlNode. ConMan will run for 60 days in evaluation mode. Once a license is purchased and applied, the software will not remind you to register. Registering also enables ConMan to operate as a Windows Service.

Notes:

  • To use this version of ConMan, you must deploy from the matching version of NWare.
  • This version will upgrade installations of ConMan 1.0.2 and 1.1.3 without uninstalling.
  • The installer will stop the ConMan service (NION ControlNode Service) before upgrading. You must restart the ConMan service, after performing the upgrade. This is only applicable to licensed installations.
  • A new license key may be necessary. If you get an invalid license message, run the Delete ConMan License utility and send the deletion code to conmanreg@peavey.com. We'll send a new license code to activate ConMan 1.2.5.
