11.8 NETWORK EVENT CONFIGURATION

The network event parameters determine the transmission of event log information onto the network.

When an event occurs, (e.g. zone isolate, zone alarm, system test fail etc.), the event is logged into the local history queue and printed on the local event printer (if event printing is enabled - refer section 6.4.4), and the event may also be transmitted onto the network if transmission of events is enabled. If an event is transmitted onto the network, some of the parameters here determine whether additional text data is included with the event.

The event and it's text may be used by a network printer (e.g. PTM or NDU), network history logger, (e.g. an NDU or another F3200 panel), graphics display, or NLDU (network led display unit).

If an NLDU is being used on the network to display zones from this panel, then transmission of events and events and event updates should be enabled, but an NLDU (LED display unit), does not need any of the text information. If events from this panel are to be logged into the history of a remote panel then transmission of events and all event text should be enabled but transmission of "event updates" is not required for remote history logging. Colour graphics displays require everything to be sent i.e. events, event updates and all text. Check with the user manuals of each particular device type on the network to find what information they require.

To reduce the loading of the network, transmission of events, event updates or text should be disabled unless it is needed.

Options under Events1

1.Transmit events : (Yes/No)

If enabled, on the occurrence of a new event, the event will be transmitted onto the network (as well as logged into local history).

2.Transmit event updates : (Yes/No)

Event updates are used to update the status of an object (e.g. zone), when the status has changed but has not produced a printable event. e.g. an alarm on an isolated zone does not produce a printable event but the status of the zone has changed. Colour graphics displays and NLDUs need updated zone status and hence transmission of event updates should be enabled if they are displaying status from this panel. Remote event printers or remote event history logging do not require event update transmission enabled.

3. TX relay controls : (Yes/No)

If disabled, activate and deactivate events for local module and ancillary relays will not be sent onto the network and hence will not be logged to the printer and history of any remote device. Other relay events such as isolate and fault will still be sent on the network.

NOTE - relay events are always sent onto the network as zone events.
