Networking via Ethernet

This chapter contains notes on networking via Ethernet. The networking of several panels via
Ethernet is only possible for the FPA-5000. The FPA-1200 can be networked with up to three
remote keypads (FMR-5000) via Ethernet.
After installing the panels, various network settings must be made at the panel controller in
order to set up the network.
Notice!
Default settings that are to be used for default configurations are provided both for IP
settings and for redundancy settings for redundancy with the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP). Changes may only be made by trained specialist personnel. Competent knowledge of
networking and protocols is essential! Permission level 4 is required for changes to the
network settings of a previously configured panel.
