Configuring the Fire network
This configuration task is carried out in Composer.
The communication between FS20/FS720 and the NK8237 IEC Gateway is based
on BACnet/IP. The following rules apply:
⚫
The FS20/FS720 and NK8237 units must share the same BACnet Virtual
Network (typically =1).
⚫
If the FS20/FS720 and NK8237 units do not share the same IP subnet,
appropriate IP and BBMD settings must be configured.
⚫
BACnet Device Identifiers must be uniquely defined for each unit including
NK8237.
Note: NK8237 supports only BACnet IDs in the range 1 through 65533.
⚫
The Device Identifier set for NK8237 must match the client ID expected by
FS20/FS720 configuration.
