11.3.3NETPG3 OPTIONS

1. Link TX : (Yes/No)

This controls whether the F3200 sends Link Integrity messages. This should be enabled for every panel.

2. Link TX time : (1-250)

Time period (in seconds) between successive Link Integrity Transmissions from this SID.

3. Link RX time : (1-250)

Maximum time period (in seconds) permitted between the reception of successive Link Integrity messages from any SID, before generating Net Scan Fail events.

4. Groups : ([12345678])

This setting controls the usage of the following information types:

-FFCIF Alarm Information

-Network Event Information

Groups can be used to limit where the information is printed out or displayed, for example an F3200 can belong to any combination of 8 groups, or none. The group data is sent out with alarm and event information, and panels receiving this information are able to process the data only if the sender is a member of at least one group that the receiving F3200 is a member of.

If the group number is shown then this F3200 is a member of that group. Membership can be changed by pressing keys 1-8.

11.3.4NETPG4 OPTIONS

1.ACK broadcasts : (Yes/No)

This selects whether this panel does the acknowledging of broadcasts or not. Only one device on the entire network should be programmed to do acknowledging of broadcasts. Refer also to section 11.3.1 item 3 (NIC). If acknowledge of broadcasts is enabled then all devices on the network should be programmed to expect acknowledge of broadcasts, which, in the case of F3200/NDU is the NIC option described in section 11.3.1.

It is recommended that if an F3200 panel is to acknowledge broadcasts then it should be the most lightly loaded FIP on the network, taking into consideration the number of circuits, amount of output logic and the number of display boards.

2.Baud rate.

This sets the baud rate for the network. The choices are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud.

3.Retries (0-250)

This parameter sets the number of times a message will be retransmitted if an acknowledge is not received for it. After all attempts to transmit the message have been made, the message is discarded and a “Netmsg Discard” event is generated. If the device the message is being sent to has scan failed, then only one transmission of the message is done. For V2.08 or earlier software the maximum number of retries allowed was 15.

4.Slots (8, 16, 32)

There are only three allowable values for this parameter - 8, 16 or 32. When a panel wants to transmit onto the network it selects a random slot position from slot 1 up to slot 8/16/32 depending on the maximum slot number set by this parameter. The greater the number of devices connected to the network, the greater the number of slots needed.
