Network Paging; 1: Priority; 2: Configuration - Honeywell Farenhyt Series Manual

Emergency Communication System Operation
2. Connect the PC to the USB port on the FACP using a standard USB cable. The ECS-NVCM will use the USB on the FACP (See
Figure 10.6 below). The ECS-VCM will use the USB port on the ECS-VCM.
3. Run the Voice Message Load software.
4. Select "Read from Panel" to read a message and store onto your hard drive, or "Write to Panel" to transfer a .SKE formatted message to
the panel.
5. Select the appropriate message location you wish to read/write.
6. Enter the file name you want to transfer (Press Browse to display a list of files.)
7. Press Start to start the transfer.

10.9 Network Paging

Network paging allows live voice paging between panels across the network. The ECS-NVCM, Network Voice Control Module, is needed
for network paging. For more information, see the ECS Series installation manual.
The network paging source is the panel in the network from which the microphone paging originates. Only one panel in the network can be
the source panel at a time.
A network paging destination panel is a panel in the network that is receiving the network paging. Many panels can be selected as a destina-
tion panel for the network paging. Network paging functions as an All Call on the destination panel(s) - all speaker circuits will be activated
with the network paging audio on a destination panel.the following need to be considered:
10.9.1 Priority
1. Local microphone has a higher priority than network paging (a user can page from their local panel even if the local panel is currently
receiving a network voice page).
2. Network Paging is higher priority than alarm and alert messages/tones.
3. Network paging uses a VBus channel. In a dual channel system, network paging will use either VBus 1 or VBus 2. If both buses are in
use, network paging will overtake one of them.
10.9.2 Configuration
1. The ECS-NVCM Select Switches need to be programmed for network paging.
• Program the switches to select one or more panels as destination panels.
• Each switch can only be programmed for either output group activation or network paging activation.
2. To use network paging: cue the microphone and press the Select switch(es) that correspond to the panel(s) desired to receive network
paging. Only one panel can source network paging at a time. The first panel to activate network paging is the source until that panel
discontinues use of network paging.
3. The panel that is the Network Paging source will continue to play any alarms that are active as long as the alarm circuits aren't
outputting the microphone page.
