Powering-up the Network
¨
Add one panel at a time starting from the network controller (the panel) at side 1.
"
It can take a few minutes for the system map to update.
¨
For each panel powered-up the network controller will automatically try to establish communication with the
connected equipment.
¨
The network controller will display the status of the network as being started, secure or non-secure and from now on
will monitor and control the network communications.
¨
Use disable comms to isolate a panel from the rest of the network, ie it operates at the network card in an echo
mode, select Menu On/Off -> [Control] -> [Disable] -> [Comms] and enter the Network Card usually card 6.
How to check a Network map
¨
Using the Menu On/Off -> [Info] -> [Map] -> [NetMap] menu, enter the network card address, usually 6.
The display will provide a list in cabling order the addresses of panels in the networked system.
¨
These are examples of different networks. The lowest address ‘1’ is normally the network controller.
