Getting Started
The NK-IPS is the external gateway to all NK Series devices for configuration, firmware upgrades, monitoring, and
remote control. This chapter provides a general overview of the NK-IPS functions and role in your routing system.
General Overview
The NK-IPS provides an Ethernet port that connects to a LAN or directly to a computer. This port is used to
communicate to a web browser or the DashBoard Control System to configure and control the NK Series Routing
System.
The NK-IPS is also equipped with a buffered 8-port T-Bus hub. T-Bus is the RS-485 based communications system
the NK Series uses to communicate between devices such as remote control panels and frames. Each T-Bus port can
support multiple devices in a daisy chain configuration.
Figure 2.1 provides a simplified example and may differ from what your facility requires.
1. The NK-VRC receives data from the RCP-NK1.
2. The NK-VRC then sends the physical data to the NK Series router.
3. Upon activation, a switch completion message is returned to the NK-VRC.
4. The NK-VRC converts the physical data to virtual data and returns it to the remote control panel.
