11.10 NET STATUS REFRESH
The Network Status application provides a continual refresh of zone status onto the network.
This information may be used for example, by colour graphics systems to display zone
status.
Enabling of the Network Status application is only necessary when there is a device on the
network, eg. some colour graphics systems, that require this information. Otherwise, it
should be left disabled, to reduce network traffic. Note that F3200s generate network status,
but do NOT use it. Check with the user manuals of the other devices on the network to see
if they require status refresh data to be sent from this panel.
1. Status refresh enabled : (Yes/No)
Determines whether this F3200 sends zone status data onto the network. If disabled, no
refreshes or changes of status will be sent onto the network. However, the F3200 will still
respond to requests for status from other devices on the network.
2. TX rate : (0-250)
A value in seconds which is the normal background refresh rate of status.
3. Fast TX rate : (0-255)
A value in seconds which is the faster background refresh rate. This is used when the
F3200 first starts running, and whenever another device on the network requests a faster
refresh, ie. the other device may be initialising.
