FCDC3 is compatible with FCDC1/2 including TFIX and Exigo Ex Access panels, but only after these devices have been upgraded to software version 4.1.3.13 or newer.  See [[FCDC-3_-_Backwards_compatibility]] for more information. In particular, in clusters with mix of FCDC1/2 and FCDC3, one FCDC3 must be set as "CCo".

For optimal availability in cluster configurations, use the CCo settings in Flowire web as follows:

In Exigo A/B systems, clusters must be connected to either the A or the B system. Flowire does not support redundant connections to devices in a cluster.

−
For 1 to 1 Flowire connections with A/B redundancy, we recommend:
 
−
* Leave the Flowires connected to the system switches on “Auto”
 
−
* Set the Flowires connected to the field equipment to “Not CCo”
