4.2.1
Ethernet network
ETHERNET 10/100/1000 Base T connection is the standard connection used on the Honeywell-
configured platform. The Broadcom dual embedded GB NICs are enabled without PXE in the System
BIOS. If you are using FTE, you must install the FTE cables according to the specific instructions in the
FTE Installation and Service Guide. Some Experion configurations using the on-board NICs may also
use an additional single or dual NIC card.
4.2.2
LCN network
The connection to the LCN is made through a Local Control Network Processor (LCNP4E) card. This
card is a Honeywell card that allows the TPS Operator Station to emulate Universal Stations. This card
provides the communication path for the server to other LCN modules. The LCNP4E consists of an
LCNP4E card, a MAU cable, and the LCN MAU (Media Access Unit). The LCNP4E card is a half-length
PCIE card that consumes PCIE-X 4 slot 5. The LCNP4E, MAU, and MAU cable are required to connect
to the LCN Network.
