Appendix B. Vendor Information
Appendix B.1. Fike Cheetah Panel Firmware version sensitivity
The following limitations to older firmware have been identified. FieldServer is unable to correlate this change
with a particular Fike firmware version number at the current time.
Messages 1.1 and 6.0 (graphics update msg) are sent by older panels. Only message 6.0 contains information that
can be used by the driver to reflect zone and device states. The 6.0 message is sent infrequently (typically 1 in 60
messages) and this results in a zone/device state update every few minutes.
Appendix B.1.1. Message 6.0 limitations
Can only report data for 127 zones. Data is limited to Alarm, Trouble, Pre-Discharge and Released states
Can only report data for 127 devices on loops 1-4. Data is limited to Alarm, Trouble states.

reported. 255 Zones report Process, Trouble, Supervisory, Disable, Pre-Alarm, Alarm states.
