Appendix A.3.

 

Node Status 

 

Data for any particular Node is valid while that Node is online and the system is synchronized.  Integrity of 
data for any Node will be lost if the Node goes offline or if synchronism between the FieldServer and the 
NCA2 Panel is lost. 

 

Node status offline/online (1/0) is stored in the 502

nd

 address.  It is important to read the Node status 

before reading any information about the Node.  

 

Node status data integrity itself depends upon system synchronization.  

Appendix A.4.

 

FieldServer Synchronization 

There is currently no method of auto-synchronizing the FieldServer's Data Arrays with the Notifier NCA2/NFS2-
3030 panel because there is no method for polling the panel through the printer or CRT port.  Synchronization of 
the two devices can be achieved manually pressing the “System Reset” button on the panel while the FieldServer is 
connected and running.  All current events will be re-sent to the FieldServer..
