System overview 
EST3 Installation and Service Manual  1.31 
A cabinet can also be configured to receive state changes 
(Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, Monitor, firefighter telephone 
incoming calls), logicals, events, audio controls, and so forth, 
from a select group of cabinets. 
Feature/function domains are associated with the cabinet 
providing the operator controls. In Figure 1-15, the 
feature/function domain for Cabinet 1, which has the operator 
controls for the first subnet, is groups 1 and 3. The 
feature/function domain for Cabinet 6, which has the operator 
controls for the second subnet is groups 2 and 3. 
Two subnetworks, with operator controls at cabinets 1 and 6. 
Cabinets 3 and 4 are common to both subnetworks.

Figure 1-16: Routed network commands for the domain illustrated in Figure 1-15 
In Figure 1-16, the Cabinet 1 entry under the Cabinet State 
column indicates that Cabinet 1 should receive from cabinets 1, 
2, 3, and 4 all information about changes of state. Because 
Cabinet 1 is the location of the operator controls it should send 
information about reset, alarm silence, trouble silence, drill, and 
acknowledgments to all the cabinets in the domain, which are 
cabinets 1, 2, 3, and 4. In this example, the drill command is 
common to both systems. Note, that the drill command is also 
sent to cabinets 5 and 6 by Cabinet 1. 
The Cabinet 2 entry under the Cabinet State column indicates 
that Cabinet 2 receives its change of state information from 
cabinets 1, 2, 3, and 4. Because there are no operator controls 
located at cabinet 2, there is no need to send reset, alarm silence, 
trouble silence, drill, and acknowledgment information to other 
cabinets. As an alternative, the table could show these 
commands sent to other cabinets, because they can never be 
issued due to the lack of an LCD module in the cabinet.
