Configuring firenet and repeater maps
If the control panels in the system do not have all the node IDs numbered
consecutively (starting from 1) or if the control panels do not repeat information
from all other panels, then configure the nM (Firenet map) and rM (Firenet
repeater map).
Firenet map (nM) configuration
Any control panel in the fire network can be configured to show remote zone
events and react as if the events were coming from the local zones, for the zones
that are within the range of the panel. The range of zones in the panel is
determined with the initial zone (offset) and the control panel type. The global
zone numbers can be 1 to 9999.
This means that, for a four - zone evacuation panel, the initial zone number can
range from 1 to 9996. A four - zone evacuation panel with an initial zone number
of 100 has zones 100 through 103.
The firenet map (nM) defines all the control panels that communicate with the
configured panel. This lets you create subnetworks in the fire network. For
example, if you have four panels in a fire network as follows:
• Panel ID 1 with nM active for nodes 1 and 2
• Panel ID 2 with nM active for nodes 1 and 2
• Panel ID 20 with nM active for nodes 20 and 32
• Pa nel ID 32 with nM active for nodes 20 and 32
Panels 1 and 2 will see each other in one sub-network and panels 20 and 32 will
be each other in a different sub-network. Only a firenet wiring open-loop fault for
class A networks will be shared between the two sub-networks.
Repeater map (rM) configuration
Any control panel in the fire network can repeat the information of other nodes
that form part of its firenet map.
A unique panel or several panels can be repeated at the same time (including
addressable panels) by defining the repeater map.
By default, the basic setting to establish the number of nodes (nn) will set the
control panel to activate in the repeater map (rM) the same control panels in the
firenet map. (i.e. The control panels by default will repeat all the information of all
other control panels in the fire network.)
The indications will show the logic OR function of the local indication together
with the same indication on other remote panels being repeated. If control panels
show different status, the control panel with higher priority takes precedence (i.e.
if control panel 1 has fire routing on delay and control panel 2 fire routing on , the
indication of a third panel repeater will show fire routing on).
All indications received that are not available in the repeater panel for display will
be ignored.
