2. Select the number of control panels in the network.
This is not required when you have two panels (i.e. a panel and a repeater).
If you select 5, panel IDs 1 to 5 will have to be present so as not to have a
network fault indication.
Use advanced settings if you need to configure a network with other node IDs
and you need specific control and repeater settings.
3. Select the initial zone in the fire network.
This is not required if the two panels will use the same zone numbers starting
with zone 1 (i.e. a panel and a repeater).
Zones are global. A remote zone event in a zone number which is also used in
the local control panel will generate a response as if the event was generated by
a local zone. Example: In a two-zone panel with initial zone 10, zones 10 and 11
are available and any event in zones 10 and 11 in any other control panel in the
network will have the same effect in the panel as a local event on these zones.
Therefore, change this setting if you want to keep activations and indications
independent in different control panels. Example: In a 16-zone virtual panel,
eight-zone panel 1 can keep initial zone with the default value (1) and the eight-
zone panel 2 requires changing initial zone from 1 to 9.
Note that this setting can be used to configure control panels to repeat the status
of control panels in the fire network with the zone LEDs. Consult fire network
advanced configuration settings for further details.
Basic fire network configuration will have the default fire network settings or the
ones previously configured in the advanced fire network configuration options.
Default fire network settings are as follows:
• Both control panels will control each other (fire panel and repeater panel).
• The network topology will be class B.
• The repeater will repeat zones, not control panels.
• The fire panel will repeat faults in the repeater panel.
• The fire panel will enter alarm and generate activations with remote zones.
• The fire panel will control its outputs (no addressable system in the network).

Advanced configuration options

The following table shows the options (available to an advanced configuration
user) for creating an advanced fire network configuration.
