7100 Series INI-7100

7100 Series
INI-7100
Intelligent Network
Interface Module
Description
The INI-7100 Intelligent Network Interface module provides a system that allows you to create a powerful and
highly reliable peer-to-peer, token ring, regenerative network of up to 64, 7100 series fire alarm control panels. The
network can be configured as Style 4, 6, or 7. Two versions
of the INI-7100 are available.
INI-7100-UTP
The INI-7100-UTP is a cost-effective unit that uses conventional 16 or 18 AWG, twisted, non-shielded copper wire
to connect between two nodes. Distances between nodes
can be up to 3,000 feet (914.4 m). Each INI-7100-UTP
regenerates the signal to extend the network another
3,000 feet (914.4 m). See wiring specifications for details.
INI-7100 Series
INI-7100-FO
The INI-7100-FO provides connections to fiber-optic cable
using type ST connectors as well as retaining the ability to
accommodate conventional copper wire. It can use standard fiber-optic cable up to 200 microns (multi-mode) but is
optimized for 62.5/125 microns. Signal attenuation can be
up to 8 dB between nodes. Fiber-optic cable provides a
network with the highest degree of reliability and survivability, impervious to transients, noise or ground faults. It is
ideal for applications where the network must be run over
long distances or between structures.
Features
• Peer-to-peer, token-ring, regenerative network operating at 625K baud.
• Up to 64, INI-7100 modules in one network.
• Supports Versions using either copper wire (INI-7100UTP) or both copper wire and fiber-optic cable
(INI-7100-FO).
• Each INI-7100 regenerates the signal to extend the network up to another 3,000 feet (914.4 m) (wire) or fiber-
Network Features
optic segment (8 dB loss max.)
The INI-7100 is mounted inside the 7100 panel and is connected to the 7100 Basic System Module with the included
ribbon cable. A DIP switch on the INI-7100 module is used
to set the address that the INI-7100 unit will occupy on the
network. The network communication protocol is based
upon token passing technology and operates at 625K
baud.
• Built-in isolation provides for Style 4 or Style 7 wiring.
• Includes non-polarized network connections.
• Network can be configured into regions for maximum
flexibility.
• Mounts inside the 7100 Series control panel cabinets.
Each 7100 series fire alarm control panel retains all the
features of a standard 7100 panel, providing two signaling
line circuits supporting up to 396 amps.

Network Features
Each 7100 series fire alarm control panel retains all the
features of a standard 7100 panel, providing two signaling
line circuits supporting up to 394 addressable devices, two
notification appliance circuits, an optional digital alarm
communicator transmitter, etc. (See 9020-0044 for
details).
In addition, the network can be divided into regions. Each
region can contain one or more 7100 panels. Annunciation
of events within a particular region can be limited to just
the alphanumeric LCD displays of the 7100 systems that
are members of that region. This is useful for multiplebuilding applications where each building would constitute
its own region. Any INI-7100 module can be designated as
a global annunciator to annunciate events from all network
nodes.
