[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 nn
is “Cu”.
[2] Depending on the advanced setting Firenet repeater type (nr), this setting configures the initial
zone repeated or the initial panel repeated.
A
basic fire network
is either a panel and a repeater, or an eight-zone virtual
panel composed of two four-zone panels.
To configure a basic fire network:
1. Activate networking by selecting the node number in the fire network.
The value of nI changes from 0 to 1 for the control panel, and from 0 to 2 for
the repeater panel.
If nI 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.
