6.1 Introduction
The Tool can be used to configure two different
types of network:
a. MASTER/SLAVE. This is described in
Section 6.2. One Master panel
communicates with up to 31 other stations
on the network, of which up to 7 can be other
panels. In the special case where there are
no other panels, the Master is known as a
Standard (Standalone) panel.
b. ID
2
net Peer-to-Peer. This is described in
Section 6.3. Panels can be assigned to the
first 32 station addresses in a non-filtered
environment or the first 63 addresses with
filtering. Repeaters can be assigned to any
address with or without filtering. Also, up to
31 repeaters can be connected directly to
the panel which they are repeating (i.e. they
are not connected via the network).
The ID
2
net Peer-to-Peer network can support
network event message filtering, with panel
software version 4.51, or above.
The two types of network are incompatible, i.e.
all panels in the network must be configured
for the same type.
