A common question frequently asked about the new AES 7177 Hybrid 2.0 Fire Subscriber is, 'Where in the network can the Hybrid unit be placed?'.  

 
AES Mesh Radio Network

The Importance of the Routing Table

As long as another IP Link or Hybrid make it onto the Hybrid's routing table, the unit will be satisfied.  However, if there are no IP Links or Hybrids listed in the routing table then the unit will produce a Redundant Mesh (RM) Fault meaning it does not have peer in its routing table at a similar or lower Link Layer than that of the unit itself (Link Layer 0).  The unit does this to always ensure it can serve as a RF repeating peer to other dependent Subscribers.  

Please note, this blog post is offered for reference only to be used as a general guideline for
networks utilizing the 7705i MultiNet Receiver (similar guidelines are being developed for next generation 7705ii MultiNet Receiver networks). Not all networks are the same, each private network has a different set of variables and unique configuration. Field Technicians and Installers should always seek appropriate advice from a member of the AES Support team if they have a question or need assistance.

Based on Our Experience

The capacity of Subscribers supported by a set of IP Links or Hybrid Subscribers when establishing a network will be up to 1,200 Subscribers. Actual capacity may be higher or lower depending on geography, environmental factors, deployment strategies (frequency of Check-Ins, Time-to-Live settings, etc.), and quality of installations.

Our Technical Support team has created two log sheets to help your organization track information related to your AES installations.

 1.     Track Your AES Installations Routinely

Keeping track of your AES installations is a very important step as part of maintaining your network.  Over time, people's memories fade and details of an installation are forgotten.  This Installation Log will help capture important details of the installation, it should be kept on file in either written or electronic form in a format that is easily accessible.  Start using this form created by AES today to routinely track information about your new installations, simply hover cursor over image below and click on hyperlink to download.
