Vigilon Compact NetworkA VIGILON Compact network can consist of a number of control panels and network nodes wiredtogether in a secure loop. A secure loop is achieved by installation of a network card in eachVIGILON Compact (VA) panel and VIGILON Compact Network Node to facilitate the networkinterconnection of panels and nodes.Each standalone system is first commissioned before being networked together with other panelsand nodes.The network commissioning process involves systematic introduction of each standalone system tothe network with tests to ensure the network is working.The whole networked system is then configured and tested to ensure alarms and global controlsand operates to site requirements."When setting the address switches on the 'network card', ensure the network controllerwhich can be the network node or panel is given the lowest address.A network controller is a node that can be connected to a Central monitoring system.All panels in a networked system must operate at the same baud rate, normally this is38.4K where copper network card is being used.Single Network¨ Each standalone system must first be fully commissioned individually.¨ Check that the correct cable is used to wire the network, the installer's manual lists allthe approved cables.Commissioning instructions84 4188-856_issue 7_07/15_Generic Vigilon (Compact + VA) Comms.Vigilon Compact Networkside 1RS485 - up to 1.2KmSecureNetworkside 1side 1side 1side 2side 2side 2side 2Control panelNetwork card (NC)RS485 - up to 1.2KmRS485 -up to 1.2KmRS485 - up to 1.2KmLoop processor card (LPC)Loop processor card (LPC)Master Control Board (MCB)Control panelNetwork card (NC)Loop processor card (LPC)Loop processor card (LPC)Master Control Board (MCB)Control panelNetwork card (NC)Loop processor card (LPC)Loop processor card (LPC)Master Control Board (MCB)Control panelNetwork card (NC)Loop processor card (LPC)Loop processor card (LPC)Master Control Board (MCB)
