INTRODUCTION

TO NETWORKING

The 4120 Network is a peer-to-peer network. This means that every network panel (or node) has an equal chance of putting a message out on the network. Each node can maintain the status and control of its own dedicated circuit points while monitoring and controlling activity at other locations. The 4120 Network uses a communications scheme known as Token Ring Protocol. In Token Ring communications, an electronic data “flag” or “token” is passed from one node to the next. The node that holds the token is the only one permitted to talk on the network. A node that has no messages or requests for the network simply passes the token onto the next node. Thus, every node has an equal chance of putting a message out on the network when needed.

Features:

The 4120 Network can: l

Declare a System Alarm from any network node

l

Initiate an Alarm Silence, Alarm Acknowledge,

l

Display the status of selected circuit points, point lists, and network nodes

l

Investigate specific point status details

l

Read the status and select the sensitivity of TrueAlarmTM sensors at multiple locations

l

time and date.

Version 6 of the 4100 system software allows existing 4100 Fire Alarm Control Panels and Universal Transponders to be networked together by installing a 4120 Network Interface Card into each panel of the intended network, and configuring each panel to accept the card. Panels compatible with the 4120-0140

Network Interface Card card are:

l

4100-8001

Fire Alarm Control Panel

l

4100-8201 Voice Fire Alarm Control Panel

l

4100-8010 Miniplex Control Panel

l

4100-8210 Voice Miniplex Control Panel

l

4100-8511 Universal Transponder

l

4100-8601 Voice Universal Transponder

l

4100-8602 UT Voice Status Command Center.

NOTE: If your 4100 Fire Alarm Panel is at Software Version 4.02 or earlier, it can only be connected to the 4120 Network by upgrading the Master Controller in one of two ways: l

Installing a 4100-7050 Master Controller Upgrade Kit, or

l

Reprogramming

the Master Controller with a 4100-0150 After-Market

OVERVIEW

Defining a network node requires that you declare PUBLIC and EXTERNAL points within the node via Version 6 of the 4100 Programming Unit. The network definition is accomplished with a 2-pass approach. Points PUBLIC to the network in all nodes are declared first. A second pass is required to select EXTERNAL points from a tag list-based feature that gives you access to all Network PUBLIC Points.

1 Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com

The node number of a particular job may be viewed on either the General Information, 4120 Information or Job Directory screens. Other network information is changed by editing the 4120 Network Interface Card itself. Most of the network configuration data is entered in the NETWORK POINTS submenu from the Configuration menu.

Directory

Structure

To help keep files associated with a network organized and to insure proper operation of the Programming Unit, the following subdirectory structure must be used. Each network should have its own subdirectory off of the directory which contains the .DBN file and subdirectories for all the nodes on the network. Each of these subdirectories should contain all files associated with that node. When adding nodes to a network, the Programming Unit creates subdirectories the network directory containing the .DBN file in a manner shown in Figure 1.

Two options are available to you when building network jobs. The first is cB>uild changed. When you select cB>uild changed, the Programming Unit only forces a build for systems on the highlighted network which need to be rebuilt. The Programming Unit maintains an internal flag in each job. This flag is set when the job needs to be rebuilt. You can see the status of this flag in the network report. The second build option, cA>ll build, is used to force a rebuild - or initial build - of every node in the selected network. Due to interdependencies between nodes, it is often the case that building one node requires a rebuild of another node. The II build feature and the eB>uild changed feature sometimes builds a job twice. This selection also produces or updates the Report of Build (.RPB) file on disk. (See Figure 9.)

Figure 9 Build Results Screen

This report is automatically sent to the disk as .RPB (Report of Build), and includes the memory chip requirements for each job that was rebuilt. From the Network Directory screen, you can select iew Build Report to see this .RPB file. You can also view this report from the File Directory screen by selecting the iew option. The jobs that have been built successfully will have new .MOT files generated on disk. However, you must still download the new job information. If you have a 4100+, Network Display Unit, or Universal Transponder, you can download the new job information directly to the Master Controller’s CFIG Flash EPROM. If you have a standard 4100, you must first download the new job information to a PROM programmer, and then “burn” the CFIG PROM chips and manually insert them into the designated sockets on the Master Controller Board.

When a job is selected to be loaded, the working directory is changed to the directory containing the job; then the job is loaded into the Programming Unit. The current directory path is displayed at the bottom of the JOB DIRECTORY screen.

Job

A specific network should be selected from the Network Directory before entering the Job Directory menu. Once in the Job Directory menu, you simply highlight a network job (node) and press CL> or to load the job (and change the working directory). (See Figure 13.)

Deleting

a Network

Job

After highlighting the desired job, press CD> to delete its files from the disk. This action deletes the cJOBFILENAME>.DBF, .MOT, .REP files and the job subdirectory of the same name. In addition, this action removes references to this node from the .DBN file.

Loading

a Specific

Job

The Load Specific Job menu (Figure 14) prompts you for the load path when trying to load a job. This facilitates adding a stand-alone panel onto a network. The default path for this feature is the current directory. If the Programming Unit does not find the job there, it looks in the ~41 OOJOBS> directory. If the job is not found there, you must specify the full path. NOTE 1: You may now load any job directly from a floppy diskette or a hard drive without first loading the Programming Unit from the required path. NOTE 2: You cannot edit the path displayed in the prompt window for dual-floppy computer (i.e., NEC Multispeed) operations. FILE
