The end of this section describes this manual’s structure and intended

The Network Terminal (NT) is a simple, lightweight, portable operator
interface to the Metasys
®
system. A standard telephone jack connects
the NT to any Network Control Module (NCM) on the Metasys system.
(For the NCM45x0-2 model, the NCM4500 NT Cable Kit is required.)
This direct connection allows for easy access to any system functions
available for your password level.
