Networked panels

Panels can be networked with one another via a CAN bus or an Ethernet connection. This
chapter describes the similarities between the two physical networking principles. Detailed
notes on networking via Ethernet can be found in Networking via Ethernet, page 36. Details on
planning and commissioning are provided in the network manual. Fire detection systems can
only be networked with the FPA-5000.

Network addressing

In the case of a networked panel, the network address is also displayed. The network address
consists of a node ID and group ID, which are assigned using the FSP-5000-RPS programming
software.
If, for example, a fault in a detector with network address 1 - 4 is displayed, this means:

There is a remote connection between panel A or a remote keypad and
a networked panel B .
The networked panel B is operated from panel A or from a remote
keypad and is isolated for operation.
The networked panel B, with which panel A or a remote keypad has
already established a remote connection, in turn establishes a remote
connection with a networked panel C.
There is a restricted remote connection with a networked panel.
