1 to 32. It is possible that this message could get pointed

 

 

as a consequence of a single corrupted message. If this

 

 

error occurs frequently then call Tech Support after taking

 

 

a log.

Node status. DA required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This message is printed when a message is received that

 

NATS:#42 Err. Node /

reports that communication to the indicated panel has

 

failed.

 

 

Panel=%d offline. Comms

 

 

 

 

 

Failed. Port=%d

You must review and inspect your FACP equipment to

 

 

 

 

resolve this problem.

 

 

NATS:#43 FYI. Node /

No corrective action is required. The message is printed

 

when a node that had been reported as having failed

 

Panel=%d online. Port=%d

 

communications has this state restored to normal.

 

 

 

 

This message is printed when the driver tries to update the

 

 

node status using the Data Array specified by the

 

 

‘NATSfacp_Status_DA’ parameter on the connection.

 

 

The offset used is equal to the node number and the driver

 

 

has found that the DA is too short to store the status as the

 

NATS:#44 Err. DA=%s too

required offset. Edit the configuration file, setting the DA

 

short. Required=%d

length to the required length printed in the message.

 

 

Typically you will set this length to 32 as there are 32

 

 

possible panels on a connection.

 

 

 

Download the modified config file to the FieldServer and

 

 

reset the FieldServer for your changes to take effect.
