ES Net features
ES Network (ES Net) is a high bandwidth (100 Mbps) IP based fire alarm
network that supports up to 99 nodes and uses industry standard
network technology and infrastructure for greater design and installation
flexibility.
Advanced diagnostics
ES Net provides advanced network diagnostic tools and reports that
are easy to read. Detailed information about network communication
health and status are available allowing technicians to pinpoint problems
and reduce the time required to troubleshoot network communication
issues.

Communications process
Network information is sequentially transmitted from one node to another. At each node, the network message is captured and either retransmitted
as received, or modified before retransmission to provide the network with a status update. The ability of the message to circulate through the
network defines the network status and allows nodes to respond accordingly.
Survivability
If a node goes off-line or if the connection between nodes either shorts, opens, or has any other form of communication problem, that section
of wiring becomes isolated. Nodes that cannot retransmit onto the next node of the network will transmit back to the previous node to maintain
communications and to notify the network of the node status. In the event of multiple wiring faults, the remaining nodes will effectively regroup and
establish new, smaller sub-networks that maintain communications among the active nodes.
Communications options
Figure 6 shows a multiple node network interconnected with a variety of communications means for reference.
• Ethernet and Fiber offer high bandwidth (100Mbps) network communications
• Fiber media communications support longer distances, are available for single or multi-mode fiber and only require a single fiber for node-to-node
connections
• DSL communications use a single wire pair between nodes using lower bandwidth DSL media cards. Due to lower bandwidth, DSL is recommended
primarily for retrofit installations where the existing wiring must be reused.
Note: Arrangement shown for reference only. Wiring pairs shown as one-line for typical reference only. The TrueSite Workstation PC has 2 Ethernet
ports. The ES Net NIC connection uses (1) Ethernet port leaving (1) Ethernet port available for a connection to either an agency listed (dedicated) fire
alarm LAN or a customer's LAN (not both). Refer to data sheet S4190-0018 for additional information on fire alarm network Ethernet switches.

Note: To meet requirements for UL/ULC 1076 Proprietary Burglar Alarm System Units (APOU/APOUC) or UL 1610 Central Station Burglar Alarm Con-
trol Units (AMCX) with DSL media, shielded cable is required for all DSL circuit pathway connections. For UL 1610 TrueSite Workstation or Incident
Commander system installations, the Ethernet circuit pathway to TrueSite Workstation or Incident Commander must also be in conduit, no greater
