TCP/IP
technology offers many benefits like; extended system capabilities, increased
communication speeds, and minimized communication costs. Network communication
can generally impact the system in two ways:
- Connect door controllers
together.
- Connect to an alarm monitoring
point.
Connecting door controllers together
There are many methods for
connecting door controllers together in a system. With increasing awareness and
use of TCP/IP technology, networking controllers using this technology provide
advantages in speed, distance between controllers, and the number of
controllers within the overall system.
Communicating alarms
The system can communicate alarms to either a local operator terminal or to a central monitoring station.
Alarm communication allows the system to capture the attention of local
operators and remote responders. Network communication is faster, cheaper, and
becoming more available, as popularity of the technology grows.

equipment requirements and suggestions suitable for the application.
