System Setup
Setting Up an NK Series System for the NK-Hub
Your system will incorporate at least two NK-IPS devices, and multiple NK-Series routers, panels, and interface
devices. These will be split into T-Bus networks, with each T-Bus network consisting of one NK-IPS and any
number of NK-Series devices connected via T-Bus.
The TCP/IP network must be configured so that the NK Hub can establish TCP/IP connections with each NK-IPS.
The NK-IPS devices do not need to be able to communicate directly with each other.
Tips for Setting Up the NK Series System
Messages are sent fastest between two devices on the same T-Bus network. You can optimize your system by:
• connecting panels and the routers that they control on the same T-Bus network if possible.
• connecting the NK-VRC to the same T-Bus network as routers, if using an NK-VRC virtual routing core.
• connecting the NK-3RD to the same T-Bus network as routers, if using an NK-3RD protocol interface.
