ZX Fire Alarm Control Panels MORLEY-IAS
Commissioning Manual Document No. 996-175-000-1, Revision 01 Page 49
13 Networks Option
• Network options define the way in which the panel is configured to operate on a networked system.
These options, such as the panel address, should be checked when a system is first installed, but will
rarely need changing after this time.
• The network can operate as either a ‘Shared Zone’ or ‘Report and Control’ network. A summary of the
network options for various network configurations is given below. Refer to the Network Interface
Guide (P/N 996-075) for detailed information.
• Press ’3’ to select the ‘Network’ option from page 3 of the Commission menus.
• To change a setting, press either CHANGE or ‘No’ and then enter the desired setting. Move on using
the ‘Yes’ key.
13.1 Panel Networks
13.1.1 Network - Panel Network Address
• The Network Address will have been set to ‘1’ when the panel leaves the factory. If the panel is to be
installed as part of a networked system the address may need to be changed – each panel must have
a unique network address in the range 1 to 99. If the panel is not required on a network, then this
address must be left at ‘1’.
• Each panel should be given a unique panel address number.
