Exhibit 4-83: Network Module Config Screen
•
Row A - This field allows you to define the location of the panel under configuration with respect to
other panels on the network. Use the
◄►
arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/-
keys to toggle module type.
NONE
(default) – Select this option if the respective fire panel has no network module installed or to
temporarily isolate the panel from the network. All network messages (incoming and outgoing) will
be ignored. The network module will continue to operate and pass along messages to other panels
as long as the network wiring remains in place.
FIRST
– A CyberCat network must have at least two panels. One of the two panels, regardless of
wiring style, must be configured as the
First
panel. This requirement is present to provide
directionality to the network wiring and provide assistance in diagnostics.
MIDDLE
– If the CyberCat network has more than two panels (maximum of 128), every panel on the
network not configured as either a
First
or
Last
, must be configured as
Middle or None
.
LAST
– A CyberCat network must have at least two panels. One of the two panels, regardless of
wiring style, must be configured as the
Last
panel. This requirement is present to provide
directionality to the network wiring and provide assistance in diagnostics.
•
Row B - This field allows you to set the wiring style used by the network (Class B/Style 4 or Class
A/Style 7). Use the
◄►
arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys to toggle
between the Network Wiring Styles. When set for Style 7 wiring, the
First
panel will monitor the
Class-A homerun wires.
•
Row C - This field allows you to control the switch functionality of the panel. Use the
◄►
arrow
keys to position the cursor under the LOCAL/GLOBAL field; then use the +/- keys to toggle between
those values.
LOCAL
– The respective panel will accept switch functions only from network panel IDs selected by
the network switch configuration screen. See Section 4.6.4.5.
GLOBAL
– The respective panel will accept switch functions from any panel on the network. When
set to Global, all of the panel IDs in the “Network Switch Configuration” screen (See Section 4.6.4.5)
will have a lower case “y”.
•
Row D - This range of fields allows you to set a custom message for this network panel. Use the
◄►
arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys to cycle through all ASCII
characters and display the desired character. Arrow to next character and repeat until custom
message is completed.
