02 Information to prepare

1. Floor plans, point lists, loop drawings and cause-and-effect records
2. Clear labels for panels, modules, detectors, bases and network equipment
3. Known faults, disabled points, prior modifications and access restrictions

03 Decision factors

1. Documented protocol and device compatibility
2. Available capacity and configuration
3. Programming, testing, records and future support responsibilities
