Adding or Editing Network Information, Continued
Editing the
Network Name
and Node Number The Network Information tab includes the following fields. Use the guidelines outlined in the
table when setting these fields.
Field Guidelines
Advanced
Network
Information Network Click on the Advanced button and use the dialog that appears to change the network
to which the 4007ES panel is assigned.
Node Click on the Advanced button and use the dialog that appears to change the node
number of the 4007ES panel.
Master
Timekeeper Select to use this panel as the network’s master timekeeper. Only one master
timekeeper per network.
Annunciate
Common Troubles Select if you wish to have other panel’s common trouble messages annunciated on
this panel.
Annunciate Network
Troubles Select if you wish to have this panel’s Network messages sent to the system’s
annunciators.
Annunciate Extra
Node Troubles The Annunciate Extra Node Option prevents a node from annunciating an Extra
Node Trouble following the addition of a new node. Guidelines for setting this option
are as follows:
• Unselect this option on nodes without a need to annunciate events from the new
node.
• Select this option on the node that functions as the network's central annunciator.
Auto Gen List
Externals When selected, this option adds the external points from other nodes to the system
lists on this node. When it does this, it adds the points to the list based on the point
type of the point.
Miscellaneous
Network
Information Network Prefix Enter descriptive text in this field. This text appears when the more info. field is
selected on a TSW.
Special Analog
Initialization Checking this option prevents analog detectors from sending status on initialization if
the value is not an alarm or trouble condition. However, if the analog value indicates
an alarm or trouble condition exists, the detector will send its state.
If you select this option and you have Custom Control equations that contain the
Compare Opcode and Current Value qualifier, be aware that the equation will not
trigger on network initialization, but will trigger on subsequent value changes. Also, if
analog detectors have a numeric value on a GCC screen, the screen will not update
until the point's value changes after network initialization.
Note: To avoid Network Initialization troubles, all network nodes must be set the same
way.
Inhibit Priority-Only
EQBs This option prevents network EQBs from being generated for status changes that
only affect priority and not the status of the point. For example, a Custom Control
equation triggers that modifies the priority of a public control point, putting the point to
the reset priority but not changing its state. If this option is selected, no EQB will be
generated. The side effect of choosing this option is that there will be a display
mismatch of the priority between the owner and the external node.
Note: Select this option only if required to reduce network traffic.
Inhibit Sounder-
EQBs This option prevents TrueAlarm sounder/relay base (non-combo points) from
generating network EQBs when only the status of the sounder/relay changes. If the
sounder/relay is turned on or off without a threshold or logical state change on the
sensor portion of the device, no EQB will be generated to external nodes. Status
changes to the device that involve a logical status change (e.g. alarm, trouble), or a
sensor threshold level change will still report.
Note: Select this option only if required to reduce network traffic.
