By using Tandem mode it is possible to take control of a remote panel on
the network and operate it as if you were standing in front of it.
Keypresses are sent across the network to the remote panel and display
updates are sent back to be displayed locally. This allows functions such
as zone tests, enabling / disabling zones, etc., to be carried out remotely.

When
MX1 panels are networked together there must be a way to
identify each MX1 and the points and zones on that MX1 .
In this manual, reference is made to "local" and "remote" panels. A local
panel is the panel at which the operator is at. Remote panels are all
other panels on the network. This applies even if a number of networked
panels are co-located.
When a networked
MX1 is configured, it is programmed with a unique
number between 1 and 254. This is its System Identification Number, or
SID. The SID is used to:
(a)
Identify a specific MX1 .
(b) Identify a zone or point on a specific MX1 , by combining the SID
and zone or point number as detailed below.
For a networked
MX1 , point and zone numbers are displayed in the
following formats:
Zszzz
where s is the SID and zzz is the panel zone number
Pseee.d.s where s is the SID, eee is the equipment number, d the
device number and s the sub-point.
Note that the panel zone number and the equipment number are always
displayed as 3 digits, with lead
ing ‘0’s where required.
E.g.
Z35018 is Zone 18 on MX1 number 35
P5023.4.1 is Point 23.4.1 on MX1 number 5
