Networking
Panel 5 is at the end of a direct connect BUS so its DIP switches 8, 9 and 10 must be ON to
provide the direct connect BUS termination.
Panel 6 looks like it is at the end of a direct connect BUS, but because it is also using a
repeater its DIP switches 8, 9 and 10 must be OFF. In this example, panel 6 is actually in the
middle of a direct connect BUS between panel 5 and the repeater of panel 6. Jumper J1 of the
repeater is placed (ON) and provides the termination. Jumpers J2 and J3 for the repeater must
be OFF because no wires are connected to the twisted pair terminals 1 and 2 of TB1.

Setting the Network ID for each Panel
Note: It is important that much thought is given when choosing the network IDs for each panel. It is difficult to
change the IDs once panel programming has begun.
The network ID for each panel is set using DIP switch positions 1 through 7. The valid range
of network IDs is 1-8 for a maximum of 8 panels per networked system. See Figure 5-11
below for possible DIP switch settings.
