Configuring the fire network
This configuration task is performed in Composer on a project created for the
NK8237 gateway starting from an empty template to which a Modbus system and
an NK8237 unit have been added.
The communication between FS20/FS720 and NK8237 is based on BACnet/IP.
Communication parameters have to be configured on FS20/FS720 and NK8237
consistently.
Each FS20/FS720 station needs to be equipped with a FCA2013-A1 License
key L2 (A5Q00018857) for enabling the BACnet protocol..
