6.2 Network Programming
This Section of the Manual describes how to program the network options using the built-in annunciator. All options described in this
Section can be programmed using the HFSS Programming Tool. To edit the site assignments, you must use HFSS Programming Tool.
6.2.1 Learn Network
The Learn Network Menu shows you all of the panels connected to the network. Any panel that has been programmed into the network
will appear as a “Member.” Any panel that is connected to the network but not programmed into the network will appear as a “Guest.”
You can add Guest panels to the network by changing their status to a Member in this Menu. The Panels showing OK are currently
responding on the network. The Panels not showing OK have either been removed or are not responding due to the networking prob-
lems. See Section 6.1 for Network Diagnostics.

2. Select 6 for the Network Programming.
3. Press 1 to enter the Learn Network Menu.
4. Press ENTER to add or remove the panels connected to the network as a Member or Guest.

See “Editing Text Using the Built-In Programmer” on page 206 for a list of available characters and their numeric designators.
6.2.3 Edit Panel ID
This Menu option allows you to change the current Network Panel ID. It is best to carefully consider the Network ID setting for each
panel. Take into account any future panels that will be added to the network (future wiring of two buildings together). The Network
Panel ID setting must be assigned a unique ID for each panel on the network.
This menu will allow you to change the currently assigned Network Panel ID to the current Network ID dip switch setting. The System
will be down as the panel needs to reboot in order to complete the transition.
When you use the PC Configuration Software to program the panels, the Network Panel ID will be locked from future editing. The only
way to change it will be to restore defaults and use this Menu again.
NOTE: If you add panels to the network, the System will automatically run the Sync Network Options. You will be required to select from
which panel to distribute the network options. See Section 6.4.
