6.2 Master/Slave Network

6.2.1 Introduction

The network consists of one Master panel, a
number of Slave panels and a number of
repeaters. These are collectively known as
'stations'. Up to 32 stations may be connected,
subject to the following restrictions:
a. There must be one Master panel. This has
overall control of the network; it receives all
networked messages from the Slave panels
and its configuration determines how these
are acted upon and redistributed.
b. Up to seven Slave panels. These have
independent control of their own loop and
report any local events to the Master panel.
c. Up to 31 repeaters, provided that the total
number of stations does not exceed 32 (i.e.
if there are three Slaves then up to 28
repeaters can be connected).
Each station has a station number in the range
0 to 31. The master is always station 0 and the
slaves are in the range 1 to 7.
The repeater must be associated with the panel
which it is to repeat. Repeaters can be associated
with panels in any order and two or more repeaters
can be associated with the same Slave panel.
Stand Alone
If the network has just one panel and a number
of repeaters, the panel's station type is
'Standard' instead of 'Master'.
