6.3.2 Expanding an existing HS-NCM-W Network with the HS-NCM-W-2
When connecting the HS-NCM-W to a HS-NCM-W-2 you must use an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Refer to Figure 13, “Expanding an existing HS-NCM-W
network using the HS-NCM-W-2”
Programming for Expanding an existing HS-NCM-W network using the HS-NCM-W-2
Refer to Figure 13, “Expanding an existing HS-NCM-W network using the HS-NCM-W-2”
To establish a link, each board should be programed individually from its local panel as follows:
Board 1: Check “Ethernet Enabled” and set Port A Mode as “To Port A”
Board 2: Check “Ethernet Enabled”
Board 3: Check “Ethernet Enabled”
Board 4: Check “Ethernet Enabled” and set Port A Mode as “To BR Port A”
No other programming is required. Once programed, all nodes can be accessed remotely through VeriFire Tools.
