Panel Software 3.04 makes use of a new data structure. This new structure relates to device
messages and zone messages.
9.3. Compatibility with Maestro and Planner
Planner version 3.0.0.59 or higher must be used to ensure that the structure is correct.
Previous Planner projects or saved files are converted automatically to the correct structure
when opened with Planner 3.0.0.59 or higher.
9.4. Peer-to-Peer 3 (P2P3) Protocol
9.4.1 Overview
The most notable new feature is the Peer-to-Peer 3 Protocol (P2P3), which provides the
capability of up to 255 network nodes on a single multi-drop RS485 communications link.
Although this capability is apparent, a network of 100 nodes is deemed the maximum, as this
is the maximum extent to which the system has been tested.
