This provides a good technique of synchronizing the panel and the FieldServer. When you restart the FieldServer you should push the reset button on the panel so that the panel sends messages for all points that are not in a normal state. If you don’t do this, and some points are in a not-normal state then the FieldServer will not know about them until their state changes This is potentially dangerous.
