NETWORKING
5-1 NETWORK SYSTEM OPERATION
Multiple ARIES NETLink systems can be networked together to form a larger, integrated system for
common event reporting, operator control, and outputs activation. A peer-to-peer network can be
created for up to 64 ARIES NETLink control units. These units perform the following networked fire
alarm and/or suppression system operations:
• Event reporting
• Protected premises local and/or remote event annunciation
• Occupant notification by audible and visible signaling appliances
• Process and equipment control to activate safety procedures
• Fire extinguishing system release
• Off-premises transmissions to a central station or a fire department
Each networked control unit supervises its own initiating devices and output circuits. It also manages
the input point to output circuit operations specific to its local protected area(s). These operations
occur with or without network inter-control unit communications, lack of network communications
due to catastrophic fault, or irrespective of the condition of any other control unit in the network.
A typical networked ARIES NETLink system is shown in Figure 5-1.
