Wiring All Ethernet ports on the BNIC are auto-crossover (crossover cables are not required) and compatible with 802.3u, 100Base-TX type standard RJ45 type connections.

Cable requirements:

• Category 5 (CAT5) cable or greater is required for 100Mbit operation. Using lower grade (i.e. Category 3) cables can result in slower link speeds or shorter distances which may affect the performance of your connection.

• The maximum distance from the BNIC to the next Ethernet termination (router, switch etc.) is 328 ft (100 m) with CAT5 cable.

• Cables are to be in conformance with TIA/EIA-568-B standard.

Not supported:

• Style 7 connection. Only one path through the building network should exist. Note: Multiple connections to separate networks are permissible (i.e., dedicated

network and building network).• Power over Ethernet (PoE).

External Connections: 1. Port A provides Earth Detection for optional External Network connection needs, see

Important Notes in the Figure 6 BNIC Wiring Diagram.2. Port B connects to the Building Network.

Panel Connections:3. Port C connects to the CPU (Master Controller Card) Ethernet connection.

Note: This connection is required to enable communication between the BNIC and the CPU.

4. Port D connects to the Display assembly at the Ethernet connection board (566-848).

Figure 6. BNIC Wiring Diagram

WARNING: Miswiring the BNIC can result in limited Network Connectivity for users attempting to log into the Network.

4. Select the BNIC IP Settings tab.

5. Configure the BNIC IP Settings tab by setting:

• The IP Address.- Use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option to have the Building

Network automatically assign an IP address to the card.

- Select the Use the following address option if you want to set the IP address manually and enter a Static IP address.

- For Static IP Addresses:

• If you are using a Customer LAN, refer to the worksheet information on Page 12 for customer provided addresses

• If you are using a Proprietary Fire Alarm LAN, the Recommended Convention for the Subnet is 255.255.0.0.

• The Domain Name Server (DNS). - By default, the Obtain DNS server address automatically option is selected. It is

recommended to leave this setting selected.

- A domain server name can be entered manually in the Use the following DNS server address box.

Figure 12. BNIC IP Settings tab

Important:•

• To avoid network conflicts, do not use 192.168.100.1 for an IP Address when assigning BNICs.

• The mDNS works within the same broadcast domain. Typically all devices on a single subnet are on the same broadcast domain and are reachable via IP broadcast. The facility MIS/IT department will provide guidance on use of mDNS.


11



• Multicast Domain Name Server (mDNS).- The mDNS works within the same broadcast domain. Typically all devices on a single

subnet are on the same broadcast domain and are reachable via IP broadcast. The facility MIS/IT department will provide guidance on use of mDNS.

- A device that supports mDNS advertises its name and available services using IP broadcasts (multicast address 224.0.0.251). An mDNS client (the Programmer) can make a request for a device with a particular service to advertise itself. This enables the user to locate devices. If you do not enable this feature the BNIC will not Advertise itself

mDNS Modes:

• NORMAL (default): The BNIC will periodically advertise its name and service for 2 minutes after startup (unsolicited advertisement).

• QUIET: the BNIC will advertise its name and service once at startup. QUIET mode may be used at the request of an IT department that does not want unsolicited traffic on the network.

6. Select the BNIC Network Ports tab. Ensure that the settings are the same as those featured in Figure 13.

Figure 13. BNIC Network tab

7. Click on the OK button at the bottom of the BNIC window to save the BNIC settings.

About the BNIC The Building Network Interface Card (BNIC) is a module that mounts internally to a fire alarm control panel (FACP) located on your premises to provide the ability to access the FACP through a secure IP network channel. To interface the FACP to your Internet LAN, an EIA/TIA-568A CAT-5 (10/100-BaseT)-compliant Ethernet drop to the panel is required. This connection requires a standard Ethernet RJ-45 terminating connector.

BNIC Installation Prerequisite

There are 2 options available for obtaining an IP address for the BNIC. Before installing the BNIC, coordinate with the MIS/IT department to determine how they want the system to operate.

Customer Network:

Option 1: DHCP served IP address. This is the preferred method for obtaining an IP address. In order for the BNIC to function properly, DHCP must be used in conjunction with a name service (DNS or mDNS).

Option 2: Fixed IP address. This method should only be used when a name service is not available.

There are 2 name service options available for resolving the FACP name to an IP address.

Option 1: DNS. DNS is required when the network hosts (FACPs and the service PC) will not be in the same broadcast domain. This is normally the case when the network hosts are on different subnets.

Option 2: mDNS. mDNS is the preferred method when all network hosts (FACP and service PC) are in the same broadcast domain. The name to IP address resolution requires no additional MIS/IT support. mDNS also provides FACP panel discovery.

Panel Discovery is supported through DNS. This requires additional MIS/IT support. The DNS server must be configured with service records (defined in RFC 2782). This also must be coordinated with the MIS/IT department prior to installation.

Before You Approach Your MIS/IT Department

For DNS or Fixed IP configuration:Find the MAC address that is printed on a label located near the center of the board. Carefully record this number below because your MIS/IT department will need this information to configure the BNIC properly on your network. The format of the MAC address will look something similar to 00:08:BD:1C:48:1A.

Record the BNIC MAC address:

For DNS:The BNIC will not operate properly if the DNS name does not match the Building Network Panel Name as found under the CPU Ethernet tab in the job configuration.

Record the suggested name for the BNIC host. This must be retrieved from the BNIC card editor of the ES Programmer (BNIC IP Settings tab). If the suggested name cannot be used, the Building Network Panel Name must be changed in the job configuration for proper operation.

Record the suggested DNS name:

Minimum Parameters Required to connect the BNIC

The IT/MIS Department must complete this sectionNow you may take this worksheet to your MIS/IT department for assistance in obtaining the parameters required for the BNIC to operate properly on your local network.

WARNING: Do not attempt to connect the BNIC using random entries; serious consequences may result. You can inadvertently affect other computers and networked devices on your network.

Fixed IP:
