Center Use of InfoAlarm Command Center equipped nodes provide increased network information display Network level command and control provides manual control for on off or disable enable as well as specific point detail nodes include the following Simplex 4100ES 4100U 4010ES and 4010 Series Fire Alarm Panels 4100ES and 4100U Network Display Units NDU 4190 Series TrueSite Workstations 4190 Series

Class B Style 4 or X Style 7 communications Wired communications using a single wire pair between Available fiber communications providing increased immunity and longer distances Network communication fiber modules are available for fiber connections Multiple communication Network fiber modules are for either multi mode or single mode fiber and carry other communications such as Network audio TCP IP communications using local area network LAN diagnostics include Attendance and polling error logging LED status indications on interface board Synchronized time and date allowing precise data Fire Alarm Network Example Fire Alarm Networks communicate information distributed Simplex fire alarm control panels may be composed of similar capability panels information or specific nodes may be added to dedicated network functions Illustrations on the pages provide a summary of a variety of fire Network applications non Simplex panels a Network System Integrator can used to connect equipment to the Network using isolated inputs and relay contact outputs NOTE Refer to individual product data sheets for specific product listing details see data sheet list on page 7 6 2013 Basic Network Operation Nodes Each panel with direct communications into the is defined as a node Each node can be a large or fire alarm control panel TrueSite Workstation Incident Commander or Network System Process Network information is transmitted from one node to another At each the network message is captured and either as received or modified before retransmission provide the network with a status update The ability of message to circulate through the network will define the status and allow the nodes to respond accordingly If a node goes off line or if the between nodes either shorts opens or has any form of communication problem the nodes will that section of wiring Nodes that cannot retransmit the next node of the network will transmit back to the node to maintain communications and to notify the of the node status In the event of multiple wiring the remaining nodes will effectively establish new smaller that will communications among the active nodes Options Figure 1 below shows a node network interconnected with a variety of means for reference Wired communications are compatible with a variety new and retrofit wiring Standard fiber optic communications are for fiber and are dedicated to Network dual fiber communications are single fiber can be used with bi directional Multiple Communication modems use a single fiber for single mode or multi mode fiber and carry multiple communications signals such as communications and Network Audio TCP IP Physical Bridge modem communications are available refer to page 7 for more information fiber optic media modules Bi Directional Couplers at each operate on single fiber 1 CARD Control communications Network audio are the same fiber Network Audio is not required single fiber N CARD 5 CARD Control Protection is required when leaves or enters a building 2 CARD twisted pair requires shield 3 CARD twisted shielded pair line Network Audio Riser Control fiber optic media require dual fiber twisted pair dry facility owned 4

Display NDU locations The East security office might be the Master Command Center in the event of emergency while the West security office can take if needed Node Function using Physical Bridge The East Security Office NDU also performs a basic hub node supporting a Star topology via Bridge modules and allowing the two panel of the Research Development loop to connect the main Network loop Physical Bridge modules allow variety of other Network connections refer to data sheet for additional information Oversight System activity recording occurs both of the NDU locations with each capable of investigating and operating the same network points Access to the operation is passcode such that only authorized operators have access override the automatic operation for Control Command Centers Network operation allows a prioritization to which Command Center is in control Control functions include Annunciation of which Command Center is Control Establishing whether Command Centers have equal to Control or are prioritized Allowing a Control command to be accepted a specific Command Center takes control over equal priority Command Centers typically due to of the incident of concern
