2.2 About the Network Interface Card Installation
The Network Interface Card is a PCI PC card plugs into any vacant PCI slot into ONYXWorks
®
Workstation (v3.0 or later). It draws its power from the Workstation computer itself. The card is
connected to NFN network through its network port.
•
The NFN-GW-PC-W card uses a twisted media pair of wires for the connection to the NFN
network. One wire connects to one of the CH A pins, the other to the other CH A pin. When
using Style 4 and 7, use CH A and CH B pins.
•
The NFN-GW-PC-F card uses fiber cable to connect the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pins
of one channel to the corresponding pins on the next NFN Gateway PC network card.
Once a respective connection is made, the NFN Gateway can be configured.
!
CAUTION: Multiple NFN Gateway PC Installations
NFN Gateway PCs should be installed and configured one at a time because all NFN Gateway PC
use the same default IP address and node number.
NOTE:
This version of the NFN Gateway PC must be installed in an ONYXWorks
®
system 3.0
and later.
