Ad-NeT Networking
The Ad-NeT network system allows all
MxPro 5 series control panels, remote
terminals and network peripherals to be
connected together using standard fire
resistant two-core cable. It provides both
the benefits of distributed intelligence and
reduced installation costs whilst catering
for the smallest two-panel network through
to the largest 200 panel wide area
networked system.
The network operates as a true peer-to Key Features

Limitations
Standard Network
The maximum total cable length is 1.5km. The maximum number of network nodes is 32 (50 with signal buffer)
Fault Tolerant Network
The maximum cable length is 1.5km between each node and the maximum total loop length is 20km. Each network card
has in-built diagnostics and is fully monitored for both short and open circuit faults between nodes. The network is capable
of withstanding a single fault between nodes without loss of communications to any single panel. The maximum number of
network nodes is 200.
