6.3 Interconnecting the HS-NCM-MF/SF/WMF/WSF/MFSF
An HS-NCM-MF/SF/MFSF may be connected to any of the following devices:
•
HS-NCM-MF/SF/WMF/WSF/MFSF (in another panel)
•
ONYXWORKS-HNMF/SF
For information regarding these devices, refer to the documentation listed in Table 6 “Supplemental Documentation”.

6.4 Mixing Wire & Fiber on One Network
In some networks, it may be necessary to mix twisted-pair wire and fiber-optic cable—use a HS-NCM-WMF or HS-
NCM-WSF as an interface between wire and fiber.
Fiber ports are not polarity sensitive. However, port-to-port wiring for the HS-NCM wire connections are polarity
sensitive. When converting from a wire to fiber network, it may be necessary to change the port designation for the wire
connection on the HS-NCM-WMF/WSF. To change the wire port designation, the HS-NCM parameters must be changed
via VeriFire Tools. For instructions on how to change the HS-NCM parameters, refer to “HS-NCM Configuration” on
page 5.
Figure 10 Wire-to-Fiber Connections
See Section 3, “The Network Communications Module for Fiber (HS-NCM-MF, HS-NCM-SF, HS-NCM-MFSF)” for
requirements and restrictions on the use of fiber-optic cable. See the High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net™ Manual
for a discussion
of all compatible configurations.
