Notice!
Make sure that the physical node address assigned to the panel matches that in the
programming software. The latter is responsible for setting the last number of the IP address
in the standard settings.
Activate RSTP as the redundancy protocol and adopt the default standard values.
Standard Ethernet settings of fire panel
In the standard settings of the fire panel, both the FSP-5000-RPS programming software and
the control unit adopt the set physical node address as the last number of the IP address.
Notice!
Correct setting of the physical node address on the panel controllers and in the FSP-5000-
RPS programming software is a requirement for a run-capable network.
Notice!
Use of the Ethernet redundancy must be activated separately in the panel controller.
– IP settings
– IP address 192.168.1.x
The last digit of the IP address in the standard settings is always identical to the
physical node address set on the panel controller.
– Network screen 255.255.255.0
– Gateway 192.168.1.254
– Multicast address 239.192.0.1
– Port number 25001 - 25008 (only the first port can be set, 8 consecutive ports are
always used)
– RSTP parameters (default settings)
– Bridge Priority 32768
– Hello Time 2
– Max. Age 20
– Forward Delay 15
Notice!
You can use the standard settings of the IP configuration with networks of up to 20 RSTP
switches.
In the case of networks with more than 20 RSTP switches, additional settings are required
according to the topology. In-depth knowledge of networks is required for this.
Settings for loops with more than 20 RSTP switches
If there are more than 20 RSTP switches in the network, then you must adjust the RSTP
settings on the panel controller and in the programming software. Panel controllers, remote
keypads, and the connected external RSTP switches are regarded as RSTP switches.
Redundant panel controllers are not regarded as RSTP switches, as the switch contained
within these is not operated as an RSTP switch.
– RSTP parameters
– Keep Bridge Priority 32768
– Keep Hello Time 2
– Change Max. Age from 20 to 40
