3.15 Connecting a PC for Programming
A PC running the VeriFire
®
Tools programming utility can upload and download the operating program of the control panel when
attached to J1 Network/Service Connection (NUP) or to the second Network/Service connection on an attached network communica-
tions module. Refer to the VeriFire
®
Tools CD for instructions.
3.16 Annunciator Key Switch (AKS-1B)
Some jurisdictions allow one node on a network to control the network at a time; one way to meet this requirement uses AKS-1B or Con-
nector J6. For details, refer to Section 5.1 “Security Access” and your local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
The AKS-1B can provide access security for the control switches on the NCA-2. When key switch monitoring is enabled as described in
the Programming Section 5.5.7 “Supervision”, the NCA-2 keypad can only be used when the AKS-1B key is inserted and unlocked.
*Protocol: When printing in graphics mode, set I/O Serial
Protocol to “Robust XON/OFF”.
