TdNET Functions
TdNET
is a multi-master protocol and communication technology that works with Token-Passing topology that
provides the network infrastructure of Teknim addressable fire detection systems. A network is created with up to 16
devices supporting the TdNET protocol. In order to connect the TFP-121x panels to the network line, the
TFC-1208
TdNET Network Card
must be integrated through the P2 port on the motherboard.
For more information about TdNET, refer to the TFC-1208 TdNET Network Card Operating Instructions Manual.
