What is fire alarm hackery?

This is a place for me to keep all of my notes and resources from the past decade of fixing fire various fire alarm panels. I also use it as a place to document and keep notes for a project I have named JANET which is a tool used to remotely receive fire alarm panel messages and also send commands back to certain fire alarm panels.
