4.1 Network Loading and Performance
PCPanel with IP (Examples)
• Absolute Maximum Rating (regardless of number of
panels) = 3840 bytes / second. Equivalent to 38400
bps direct channel to panel.
• Send to 1 Panel at Memory Model 3: Typically of {Duration = 00:47 (mm:ss), Total Number
of Bytes = 32106, Total Packets = 312, Bytes / Second = 683, Packets / Second = 6}.
• Send to 1 Panel at Memory Model 5
: Typically of {Duration = 01:14 (mm:ss), Total Number
of Bytes = 80856, Total Packets = 648, Bytes / Second = 1107, Packets / Second = 8}.
• Send to 1 Panel in a 7 Panel Group at Memory Model 5
: Typically of {Duration = 01:38
(mm:ss), Total Number of Bytes = 128639, Total Packets = 1312, Bytes / Second = 1312,
Packets / Second = 15}.
• Send to 1 Panel at Memory Model 9: Typically of {Duration = 05:01 (mm:ss), Total Number
of Bytes = 368921, Total Packets = 2680, Bytes / Second = 1225, Packets / Second = 8}.
• Normal Idle with 1 Panel
: Typically in a 02:10 (mm:ss) window, Total Number of Bytes =
27476, Total Packets = 502, Bytes / Second = 211, Packets / Second = 3.
2000 Events uploaded from 1 panel would be typically performed in a 00:20 (mm:ss)
window. Total number of Bytes = 25739. Total Packets = 185, bytes/second = 1225,
Packets / Second = 8.
Central Monitoring with IP (SIP Reporting)
• Absolute maximum rating = 60 bytes / second.
Equivalent to 600 bps, direct serial channel to panel.
• SIP uses very little network bandwidth.
• SIP Reporting for 3 Panels:
Equivalent loading to 600
bps serial channel with idle performance typically at
{1284 bytes total bytes over 01:15 (mm:ss) in 24
packets, Bytes per Second around 17 and Packets
Per Second around 0.
Network Delays and Communications Timeouts
• Network delays should generally not exceed 2.0 seconds for proper operation of ISM / AFx
Director and SIP Reporting.
• Maximum delays during peak network loading should not exceed 4 seconds. The ISM /
AFx Director software and SIP reporting software is capable of handling delays of this
magnitude without serious interruption to communications, as long as the delays are not
persistent.
• The SIP receiver program will always retry communications with the panel but a line failure
indication will be given if the network failure is of a substantial nature.
• Director will also retry communications in the event of a network failure but only for 5
retries spanning 20 seconds. If the network delays/outages last longer than this,
communications will be dropped and will have to be re-entered in the communications
pending/on-line screen of the GUI.
These measurements were made
on a 10BaseT LAN using a P3-600
PC running Windows 98.
These measurements are based on
a P3-600 running the SIP Receiver
program communicating with 3
panels over a WAN connection.
Measurements are based on the
standard cycle time (polling rate) of
15 seconds per panel.
