Note: AFP-2802 does not support networking. The rest of this section only applies to the AFP-2800 FIP.
Noti.Fire.Net™ is 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 Noti.Fire.Net™
and communicates with other equipment using the network may be referred to as a network node. The minimum
hardware requirement for Noti.Fire.Net™ is two nodes connected via wire (or optical fibre). Noti.Fire.Net™ for the
AFP-2800 supports up to 100 nodes. The AFP-2800 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 AFP-2800 via the Network Interface Module (NIM).
