How to Program network reporting in a 9000 or G Series control panel.

[#1]

Program network communications in legacy 9000, G and GV2 series control panels using parameters in four areas;

     1.  Panel Wide Parameters > Routing
     2.  Panel Wide Parameters > Enhanced Routing
     3.  RADXAUX1 > Enhanced Communications
     4.  RADXAUX1 > Miscellaneous > Enable Anti-replay
Set the supervision time according to your local requirements:
     200 Seconds: UL 1610
     300 Seconds: NFPA 72 2010
     90 Seconds:  UL 2050

Supervision time is calculated as follows:
     Poll Rate + Ack Wait + (Ack Wait x Retry Count) = Supervision Time
     For example, to set a 300 second supervision time:
               Poll=240
               Ack Wait=10
               Retry Count=5
          240 + 10 + (10 x 5) = 300 seconds or
          250 + 50 = 300 seconds

1. Panel Wide Parameters > Routing:

Enter a number (1-4) to indicate which path the panel will use for network communications, or which phone number to dial if using the dialer.  The settings in the selected path will contain the receiver IP address, and supervision settings (Poll Rate, Ack Wait time & Retry Count, see step 3).  The Phone number is programmed in Panel Wide Parameters > Phone and Phone Parameters.
2. Panel Wide Parameters > Enhanced Routing:
- Select YES to communicate using a network device addressed SDI 88.  The Path selected in step 1 (routing) contains the Receiver IP address, and supervision settings (see step 3).
- Select NO to communicate over phone.  The Phone number selected in step 1 determines which phone number to dial. (Panel Wide Parameters > Phone Parameters)

       Yes= Communicate by Network
       No= Communicate by Phone 
3. Enhanced Communications:
Figure 3 below shows the settings in Path 1. 
1) Enable Enhanced Communications: Set to Yes to enable enhanced communications over the SDI bus.  (default= No)
2) Enter the receiver IP address.
3) Enter the Poll Rate, Ack Wait Time and Retry Count as required.  See supervision settings in the Overview section.
4. RADXAUX1 > Miscellaneous > Enable Anti-replay
Set Enable Replay to YES.  (Default setting = No)

Below is an example of Network Communications in a G series control panel.
1. Item 1:  RG1 Primary = 1, RG1 Backup = 2.  Settings in Enhanced Routing determine if these numbers indicate Path or Phone numbers.
2. Item 2:  RG1 Pri SDI=YES: entry in Routing>RG1 Primary directs to which Path to use.  RG1 BU SDI=NO: entry in Routing>RG1 Backup directs to which Phone number to dial.
3. Item 3:  Setting of YES enables Enhanced Communications.  Set the network receiver IP address here.
4. Item 4:  Example for 300 second Supervision.  (Poll=240, Ack=10 and Retry=5).  See the overview section for programming supervision.
5. Items 5:  Anti-Replay setting set to Yes
