Silent Knight Software/Firmware Updates
Stay up-to-date with the latest Silent Knight programming software and product firmware to ensure you have all the latest product features and performance improvements.
Latest Honeywell Fire Software Suite with 6000 Series firmware bundle
Honeywell has bundled the latest Honeywell Fire Software Suite (HFSS 8.0.21.10) with 6000 Series Firmware Version 7.00.16 due to the integration of password usability improvements.
Honeywell Fire Software Suite (HFSS)
HFSS is the latest Honeywell Silent Knight programming software designed for the 6000 Series line of fire alarm control panels. HFSS expands on the previous SKSS platform and is required for programming the 6700, 6808, 6820 and 6820EVS panels. HFSS has been updated to include newly released products and makes it easier than ever before to program new features. Note: HFSS is designed for use with the 6000 Series panels, but now has an importer tool to convert legacy SKSS files to HFSS files. Apart from converting legacy to current panels, SKSS should continue to be used for the previous 5000 Series line of fire alarm control panels.
Changes in version 8.0.21.10
- All 20 user profiles passwords can be fetched from the tool by providing the current “Admin 1” Password.
- Along with user profile passwords, current Computer Access Number is required to fetch all passwords.
- User can modify any of the User Profile passwords along with Computer Access Number and submit back to the panel.
- Fire Fighter key passcode can’t be changed.
- Upon newly setting the password for any profile, panel will enable the user profile if it is disabled. Similarly, removing the password would disable the user profile in the panel.
- Added a link to Honeywell’s Privacy Statement while logging into the tool
- Minor Bug fixes
