Command

Meaning

ipconfig /all

Shows comprehensive information about the local PC’s IP configuration (for

example, the IP address)

ping n.n.n.n

Lets you check the communication with an IP network participant (“n.n.n.n” is

the IP address to check)

ping n.n.n.n

–

Lets you continuously check the communication with an IP network

participant (“n.n.n.n” is the IP address to check)

Netstat

Provides you the information about any established TCP/IP connections

arp -a

Displays the physical address translation table

11.3.2

Fire systems communication problems

TCP/IP network

Troubleshoot the basic TCP/IP problems as described here above for the IEC

TCP/IP and using the Ping and the Traceroute buttons in the Tools tab of the

NK8237 node in Composer. Make sure that all the FS20/FS720 units are reachable

from NK8237.

BACnet device identifier

In the fire network, the BACnet/IP protocol is used. All control units as well as the

NK8237 have a unique Device Identifier. The BACnet Device Identifier is

automatically assigned to the NK8237 and control units and displayed in the

BACnet tab of the NK8237 node in Composer.
Check that the Device Identifier assigned by Composer for the NK8237 networks

are compatible with your BACnet configuration.

BBMD and Foreign Device configuration

Make sure that the BBMD in all subnets is configured consistently.

11.3.3

Control unit generated a fault

If a control unit generated a fault, the problem may depend on the connectivity

between one of the control units (or subsystems) and NK8237.

Check network connections

⚫

RS232

Diagnostic information about the RS232 state can be obtained from the LEDs

placed on the front panel of NK82xx. Typical problems of RS232

communication are:

–

Mix of RXD/TXD lines

–

Line length exceeds the maximum of 15m

–

Disturbances caused by ground loops

Solve the problems of exceeding line length by using:

–

RS232 line drivers

–

Fiber optic converters

–

RS422 converters
