Overview
BNIC Overview
The BNIC isolates the FACP from the external or building network but allows an authorized user
with the proper security clearance to access the FACP through the Network. Authorization is
provided transparently through service tools such as the ES Programmer.
A service tool connected to the FACP through the BNIC will behave as if it were directly
connected to the Panel.
