FWSG FlashScan Wireless System Gateway

After start-up, the gateway proceeds to the factory default mode if no profile exists. In the presence of a profile, the gateway will pro-

ceed to mesh formation mode if it was previously part of a mesh network or normal mode if it was not previously part of a mesh net-
work. 

Factory default mode is the initial mode of the gateway. In this mode, the gateway and peripheral devices do not provide any fire protec-

tion. The gateway does not communicate with wireless detectors or modules in factory default mode. The only wireless communication 
in factory default mode is between the gateway and SWIFT Tools. SWIFT Tools must be within 20 feet of the gateway for proper com-
munication. The gateway must be assigned a profile before continuing configuration.
The gateway reports a “PROFILE MISSING” or “PR MIS” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Factory Default” to the commu-

nicator display of SWIFT Tools.
Transitions back to Factory Default mode are not shown in the above diagram. However, any time the profile is removed from the gate-
way, it will return to Factory Default mode.

The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools or a distributor; or after creating a profile 
using the magnetic sensor. Profile configured mode is a temporary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal 
mode. 
The gateway does not provide fire protection in the profile configured mode. While in the profile configured mode, the gateway reports 
a “MESH NOT FORMED” or “NO MSH” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Profile Assigned” to the communicator display of 
the SWIFT Tools application.

The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire 
protection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh formation mode:



after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor.



after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a profile.



automatically after start-up when the gateway was previously part of a mesh.



by a command from the SWIFT Tools application.



by a command from the FACP.

A gateway in mesh formation mode instructs all devices in the mesh to also transition to mesh formation mode. The gateway and all 
communicating devices search for new or lost devices with the same profile to join the network.
If the gateway automatically entered mesh formation after start-up, mesh formation will terminate 10 minutes after the last device has 
joined or after all existing devices are recovered. If new devices are found or if mesh formation was initiated by the user, then mesh for-
mation terminates after a period of 10 minutes without any new devices joining the mesh. At any point Mesh formation can be termi-

nated by user interaction by activating the magnet sensor again, by using the SWIFT Tools application, or by using the FACP.
The gateway reports a “NO WIRELESS DEVS” or “NO DEV” trouble when it is in Mesh Formation mode without any attached 
devices. The gateway reports a “MESH IS FORMING” or “MS FRM” trouble when it is mesh formation mode with additional devices 

in the mesh. The gateway reports “Mesh Formation” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Initial mesh restructuring mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The gateway and peripheral devices do not provide fire 
protection during the initial mesh restructuring mode. Mesh restructuring analyzes signal strengths between devices. The gateway desig-

nates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a redundant path for all transmissions. Mesh 
restructuring automatically terminates once all devices have a redundant communication path and signal strengths that meet the require-
ments of primary and secondary transmission paths. Any device that does not have a redundant path or meet the requirements for signal 

strength will report a fault.
The gateway reports a “RESTRUCTURING” or “RSTRCT” trouble to the FACP. The gateway reports “Restructuring” to the communi-
cator display of the SWIFT Tools application.

Normal mode is the network’s standard operating state. The mesh network has been formed and is providing fire protection. The mesh 
network will continuously search for additional devices with a matching profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh net-
work periodically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gateway reports “Normal” to the communicator display 

of the SWIFT Tools application.

During normal mode, if an out-of-network device with a matching profile is discovered by the network, the gateway will trigger rescue 
mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode but also 
search for a lost or added device. Rescue mode automatically terminates 3 minutes after the last device is rescued and returns to normal 

mode. The gateway does not report troubles during rescue mode but reports “Rescue” to the communicator display of the SWIFT Tools 
application.
