Operations
Start-up Mode
Start-up mode is a temporary mode of operation. During start-up mode a profile can be created or
removed. The start-up period lasts for 10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs
double blink yellow every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the LEDs double blink red
every second.
During start-up, the gateway does not provide fire protection nor does it respond to the FACP.
After start-up, the gateway proceeds to the factory default mode if no profile exists. In the pres-
ence of a profile, the gateway will proceed to mesh formation mode if it was previously part of a
mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh network.
Factory Default Mode
Factory default mode is the initial mode of the gateway. In this mode, the gateway and peripheral
devices do not provide any fire protection. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detec-
tors or modules in factory default mode. The only wireless communication in factory default mode
is between the gateway and SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must be within 20 feet of the gateway for
proper communication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.
The gateway reports a 'PROFILE MISSING' or 'PR MIS' trouble to the FACP. The gateway
reports "Factory Default" to the communicator display of SWIFT Tools.
Profile Configured
The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools or a
distributor; or after creating a profile using the magnetic sensor. Profile configured mode is a tem-
porary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal mode.
The gateway does not provide fire protection in the profile configured mode. While in the profile
configured mode, the gateway reports a "MESH NOT FORMED" or "NO MSH" trouble to the
FACP. The gateway reports "Profile Assigned" to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools
application.
Mesh Formation
The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the
peripheral devices do not provide any fire protection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh forma-
tion mode:
after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor.
after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a
profile.
automatically after start-up when the gateway was previously part of a mesh.
by a command from the SWIFT Tools application.
by a command from the FACP.
A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh for-
mation mode. The gateway and all communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the
same profile to join the network.
If the gateway automatically entered mesh formation after start-up, mesh formation will terminate
10 minutes after the last device has joined or after all existing devices are recovered. If new
devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh formation terminates
after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh forma-
tion can be terminated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again, by using the
SWIFT Tools application, or by using the FACP.
The gateway reports a "NO WIRELESS DEVS" or "NO DEV" trouble when it is in Mesh Forma-
tion mode without any attached devices. The gateway reports a "MESH IS FORMING" or "MS
FRM" trouble when it is mesh formation mode with additional devices in the mesh. The gateway
reports "Mesh Formation" to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.
