Configure a distributed integration with the 8-channel IIM

The 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 8-channel INFP IIM provides IP access for your fire panel to the 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 Management System. If you want 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 to send alerts directly to each fire panel (as opposed to a central fire panel that controls the other fire panels) you connect an 8-channel INFP IIM to each fire panel.

Example: Company XYZ decides to use a distributed configuration for their campus that has five buildings. They put a fire panel and IIM in each building; each IIM connects the fire panel to the 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 management system. Additionally, they decide they need several groups so that certain fire panels can be activated together, or all together at once.

A distributed configuration places an IIM at each end point. This type of configuration uses the same feed for all end points, so you must assign addresses in the filter.options file that match the address for a mass device for each IIM/fire panel. The alert targets the addresses for the mass devices to be activated.
