Page 3: Introduction
(see the Secondary Reporting section of this document for the exceptions and differences in configuration). The Primary Reporting Metasys Intelligent Fire Network is an interface that allows Intelligent Fire Controller (IFC) fire alarm system products and the Fire OWS to communicate over a true peer-to-peer network while meeting the requirements of UL 864 UOJZ and NFPA 72 for Local and Proprietary Protective Signaling Systems. - Page 4 NFPA 72. The FN can be configured as either bus (Style 4, twisted pair wire only) or point-to-point. To achieve the best communication reliability across the network and for best fault tolerance, use Style 7 whenever possible. IFC Networking—Metasys Intelligent Fire Network...
