Networking
Up to sixty three MA-1000 panels can be networked together to operate as a single networked
system. To achieve this each panel must be fitted with a network card.
When operating as a networked system all fire and fault information is displayed at every panel,
silencing and resetting of alarms can also be carried out from any panel on a networked system if
panels are suitably configured.
The PC Software enables the address, location text, device type and any comments to be
downloaded to the MA-1000 panels.
The software can download to all 63 networkable Panels.
The PC is connected to each Panel on the network in turn. All data for the Panel is downloaded.
For networked systems, panels are identified by panel number, P1, P2 etc.
