IFC Networking—Metasys Intelligent Fire Network 

FN nodes using twisted pair wire can either be configured in the 
point-to-point (preferred) or bus configuration. Fiber optic cable 

can only be configured in point-to-point. The point-to-point configuration 
allows for a greater distance between nodes and a clearer communication 
line, since the message is regenerated between Ports A and B. The bus 
configuration passes along the same message from Port A on the first node 
to Port A on the second node without regeneration. Over long distances, 
the message quality on a bus configuration can deteriorate. 

Both the point-to-point and the bus configurations have different distance 
capabilities.

Feature 

Point-to-Point 

Bus 

Port Connections 

Single wire pair connects 
only two ports. 

Single wire pair connects 
several ports. 

Signal Regeneration 

One receiver receives 
signal from transmitter then 
retransmits to other port. 

Several receivers receive 
the same signal from 
single transmitter.
