The ipGateway connects to an existing Ad-Net fire panel network and provides a gateway to the network from any remote location over the internet. By gathering real-time information from the fire network, it gives a visual indication of the state of the fire panel network through a standard web browser. The state of each device on the network is displayed in a clear and concise manner. Interaction with the fire network is also available, providing the functionality to enable/disable zones, enable/disable devices, reset, mute, and silence/resound sounders on the network.
