Configuring Panels on the
XLSNET Network
This procedure is performed at
every
panel
on the network.
1.1
Off-line Configuration Tool
The XLS80e Fire Panel Configuration Tool
(PN: 020-558-XXX) is a complete package for
off-line configuration preparation which
includes networking. This is expected to be
the normal method of configuring the network.
The instructions in this manual will allow
configuration if the support tool is unavailable.
1.2
Assigning Panels to the Network
Each panel must have a discrete network node
identifier. A ‘node’ is defined as a point on the
network that can be addressed by any other
point by its identification number. When the
‘XLSNET (Peer to Peer) Configuration’ menu
screen is displayed for the first time, no
configuration data will exist for
any
node on the
network. Data is entered at each node in turn,
until all have been assigned to the network. This
does not have to be done in any particular order.
The network setup menus are accessed
through the Access Level 3 (Service)
Configuration Menu.
From the Access Level 3 menu, use the
pushbutton to scroll down the menu until item
6 Configuration option is highlighted and press
the
pushbutton to select it. Alternatively,
press the
6
pushbutton to select the
Configuration option.
Use the
pushbutton to scroll down the
menu until item 5 is highlighted and press the
pushbutton, or push the
5
pushbutton,
to select Network Configuration.
Press the
2
pushbutton (or scroll down until
item 2 is highlighted and press the
pushbutton) to select the ‘XLSNET (Peer to
Peer) Configuration’ option.
