This copper network card is used to allow data to pass
between control panels and network nodes installed in a
networked fire system. The card must be plugged into the
backplane of the panel or node in a dedicated slot. When it is
plugged into the slot P8 on the backplane the external cables
must be connected to terminal block P10, which is also on the
backplane.
The dual-in-line switches on the card are set to program the
address number and baud rate.
"
Where a copper network card is plugged into
a control panel or network node, ensure the panel/node
Local Controller software is at Version 4.00 or later.
