GENERAL
The NAM-232 Network Adapter Module functions as an in-
terface between the AFP-200, AFP-300, and AFP-400 Fire
Alarm Control Panels and the
NOTI•FIRE• NET™
. The
control panels each consume a single-node address on the
network. The NAM-232 interfaces to the control panels
through the EIA-232 serial communications port.
NOTI•FIRE•NET™
is a series of systems that allow a group
of Fire Alarm Control Panels and other control equipment to
connect together to form a true peer-to-peer network. Equip-
ment that connects to
NOTI•FIRE• NET™
and communi-
cates with other equipment using the network may be re-
ferred to as a network node. An NFS-3030/NFS-640 Fire
Alarm System with an NCM Network Control Module installed;
an NCA Network Control Annunciator with an NCM installed;
an AM2020/AFP1010 Fire Alarm System with a SIB-NET Se-
rial Interface Board installed; an NCS Network Control Sta-
tion; an INA Intelligent Network Annunciator; and an AFP-
200/300/400 with a NAM-232 may all be network nodes. The
network supports communications over a twisted-pair wire
or fiber-optic medium. A network combination of both wire
and fiber may exist in the same network.
NOTE: Refer to manual network configuration section for panel
compatibility.

NETWORK FEATURES
AFP-200:
1. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si-
lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-200.
2. Limited cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1-
45 are network independent. Zones 46-89 are initialized
as one (1) “OR” equation.
3. The local node can send or receive network zone activa-
tions.
AFP-300/AFP-400:
1. Read/Alter Status; Group Enable/Disable; Individual Point
Enable/Disable.
2. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si-
lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-300/AFP-400.
3. Cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1-99 are
network independent.
4. The local node can send or receive network zone activa-
tions.
5. Remote ACS control via the INA EIA-485 port. Two (2)
annunciator addresses for a total of 128 annunciator
points per AFP-300/AFP-400 system.
