11.9 Network Paging
For Network Paging Network paging allows live voice paging between panels across the network. The FIK-NVCM, Network
Voice Control Module, is needed for network paging. For more information see FIK-Series installation manual P/N 151455.
The network paging source panel is the panel in the network that the microphone network paging audio is originating from.
One panel in the network can be the source panel at a time.
A network paging destination panel is a panel in the network that is receiving the network paging. Many panels can be selected
as a destination panel for the network paging. Network paging functions as an all call on the destination panel(s) - all speaker
circuits will be activated with the network paging audio on a destination panel.the following need to be considered:
Priority
1.
Local microphone is higher priority than network paging (a user can page from their local panel even if the local panel is
currently receiving a network voice page).
2.
Network Paging is higher priority than alarm and alert messages/tones
3.
Network paging uses a VBus channel. In a dual channel System, network paging will use either VBus 1 or VBus 2. If
both buses are in use, network paging will overtake one of them.
Configuration
1.
The FIK-NVCM Select Switches need to be programmed for network paging.
• Program the switches to select one or more panels as destination panels.
• Each switch can only be programmed for either output group activation or network paging activation.
2.
To use network paging: Cue the microphone and press the Select Switch(es) that correspond to the panel(s) desired to
receive network paging
• Only one panel can source network paging at a time. The first panel to activate network paging is the source until that
panel discontinues use of network paging
3.
The panel that is the Network Paging source will continue to play any alarms that are active as long as the alarm circuits
aren't outputting the microphone page
