Installations  with  NET*MUX4s  support  up  to  63  controllers.    Installations  without  NET*MUX4s  are 
limited  to  16  controllers,  which  can  have  any  address  in  the  range  1-63.    Where  possible,  limit  your 
multi-drops  to  16  units  for  optimum  speed  and  performance.    Even  at  9600  bps,  two  16-unit 
configurations outperform one 32-unit configuration.

For more information on setting up this SNIB2, 
refer to the 

SNIB2 Troubleshooting Guide

 and 

the 

SNIB2 Configuration Guide 

(SUPP09).

(for direct host connections, not dial-up)

(for downstream 
multi-drop 
connections)

 (for upstream 10/100 Mbps connections)

To mount the SNIB2 expansion board:
1.

Turn  all  system  power  off:  remove  the  connector  for  the  standby  battery,  then  disconnect  the 
AC power connector or the power supply fuse. 

2.

Install  the  new  SNIB2  board  into  the  upper  left  corner  of  the  enclosure  using  the  supplied 
screws.  If there are additional expansion boards to install, install them first using the supplied 
standoffs.  Install the SNIB2 board last so that it is at the top of the stack.

3.

Connect the EBIC5 connector.  Reconnect the AC power connector (or power supply fuse), then 
reconnect the standby battery connector.  The controller board’s yellow test LED should light; 
the other lights go through a start up sequence.  When the sequence is complete, the yellow test 
LED goes out and the other lights stabilize.

4.

If required, connect an RJ-45 network cable to the SNIB2 Ethernet connector.

Mounting the Board

Connect 
screws to 
the board.

If you stack boards, make sure the 
SNIB2 is on top of the stack, so you 
can wire the board, configure its DIP 
switches, and view its status LEDs.

If  a  MEB/BE,  MEB/CE,  or  MEB/CB  board  is  installed,  do 
not remove it.  Removing any of these boards will cause 
the controller to malfunction and requires a system cold 
start.  This  will  erase  all  additional  information  in  their 
memory and requires complete system download.
