NX-586E Direct Connect Module
Instructions
I-NX586E-IM
Rev D October 2005
DESCRIPTION
The NX-586E can store up to four (4) NetworX alarm panel
configurations -- panel only, no modules -- within its own non-
volatile memory. These files can be created using the DL900
software (1.13 or later) without a panel attached (power must still be
supplied). The files can also be created using the installer program
mode on any existing NetworX panel without the need for any
computer. The files stored on the Direct Connect unit can be
transferred to any panel of the same type or read by the DL900
software for reviewing, editing and archiving purposes.
