Overview

What it is and who it is for

The Edwards 4-FWAL3 is a 4-FWAL Series firewall for the EST4 platform. Edwards uses 4-FWAL Series adapters to handle every connection from the EST4 fire network to external networks, such as FireWorks, printers and other systems, while the 4-NET controllers carry only panel-to-panel traffic.

The EST4 proxy firewall uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and secure protocols, and Edwards states it is FIPS Pub 197 certified. This model is a firewall with email, and the EST4 platform offers built-in email and email-to-SMS notifications.

  • Best for: EST4 systems that connect to FireWorks, network printers, email or other external networks.
  • System fit: Edwards EST4 panels; external connection from the 4-CPU goes through a 4-FWAL Series firewall.
  • Important to know: installation and programming must be done by a qualified fire alarm technician in line with local code and the EST4 documentation.
