outside computer users.
Gateway
A computer or device that connects two
computer networks together (such as a private
network and the Internet).
General Fault Relay
Single-pole double-throw dry-contact relay
output located on annunciator module. Used to
activate remote alarm or building management
system. Relay will activate whenever ANY
audible alarm on panel is in progress. Unlike
Auxiliary Fault Relay, pressing MUTE

be piped to medical gas / vacuum pipelines.
Media Access Control (MAC) Address
A unique hardware address of a device on an
Ethernet.
Master Alarm Panel
Monitors medical gas and vacuum source
equipment and main pipelines.
NetBIOS Name Service

device by name, such as TA2_12345, instead of
an IP address, such as 192.168.2.3.
Remote Sensors
Pressure / vacuum sensors mounted outside of
alarm panel back box. Sensor rough-ins may
be mounted separately or ganged together near
pressure / vacuum pipelines. Sensors must
then be wired to alarm panel.
