BC-200 Networking is accomplished using a series of modules and products which allow a group of Fire Alarm
Control Panels (FACP) and other control equipment to connect, forming a true peer-to-peer network. Equipment
that connects to network and communicates with other equipment using the network may be referred to as a
network node. The minimum hardware requirement for network is two nodes connected via wire (or optical fibre).
Network for the BC-200 supports up to 100 nodes. The BC-200 occupies a single node address on the network.
Each network node requires a unique node address; the node communicates with other nodes via a Network
Control Module (NCM). The NCM connects to the BC-200 via the Network Interface Module (NIM).
