NetAXS™ NX4L1 Installation Guide
System Configuration
5.0 System Configuration
This section provides wiring diagrams for each of the NetAXS system configurations.
5.1 RS-485 Connection via PCI-2
This connection supports thirty-one NetAXS Access Controller panels for each drop line. Note that
PCI-2 units can also be wired in interior, as well as in endpoint, positions. See Figure 20 on page 44
and Figure 21 on page 45. Because UL has approved the NetAXS panel only as a standalone system,
the computer terminal, NetAXS gateway panel, and N-485_PCI-2 adapter appear in these sections
only to illustrate the installation and programming of the NetAXS panel.
