Display Description Value
Firenet initial zone number 0001 to 9999
Default: 0001
The number has four digits. Identified by position,
these are: 1234.
Press Up to enter the first two digits of the
number (positions 1 and 2).
Press Down to enter the last two digits of the
number (positions 3 and 4).
[1] Basic configuration uses consecutive numbers beginning with 1 and ending with the number
entered here. Advanced configuration allows the use of specific, nonsequential node numbers.
When the system has an advanced, custom pattern of node numbers, the displayed value for the
number of nodes is Cu.
A basic fire network is either a panel and a repeater, or a six-zone virtual panel
composed of two three-zone panels.
To configure a basic fire network:
1. Activate networking by selecting the Firenet identifier (node number) in the
fire network.
The value changes from 0 to 1 for a control panel, and from 0 to 2 for a
repeater panel.
If the Firenet identifier is not 0 (networking activated), a network fault is
reported if the network card is not present.
The Network Fault LED blinks every 10 seconds to indicate that the panel is
connected to the network without faults.
2. Select the number of control panels in the network.
This is not required when you have two panels (for example, a panel and a
repeater).
If you select 5, panel IDs 1 to 5 will have to be present so as not to have a
network fault indication.
Use advanced settings if you need to configure a network with other node IDs
and you need specific control and repeater settings.
3. Select the initial zone in the fire network.
This is not required if the two panels will use the same zone numbers starting
with zone 1 (that is, a panel and a repeater).
Zones are global. A remote zone event in a zone number which is also used in
the local control panel will generate a response as if the event was generated by
a local zone. Example: In a three-zone panel with initial zone 10, zones 10, 11
and 12 are available and any event in zones 10, 11 and 12 in any other control
panel in the network will have the same effect in the panel as a local event on
these zones.
