5.5.2 Network Mapping
The NCA-2 can be programmed to monitor only a select group of nodes on a standard or high-speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™ system. Con-
sequently, the NCA-2 would only control or monitor those nodes, ignoring messages received from any other nodes on the network. This
mapping feature does not affect time synchronization with the NCA-2; therefore, if the NCA-2 is the master time keeper of the network,
it will transmit the time-synchronization message to all nodes on the network, whether or not they are being monitored by the NCA-2.
There are 15 of these screens covering nodes 1 through 240. Each screen will have 16 nodes on it. The up and down arrow keys are used
to select which node to edit. When a field is selected, the NEXT SELECTION/PREVIOUS SELECTION keys will toggle between
OFFLINE/ONLINE, MAPPED/UNMAPPED.
• OFFLINE - The node is not communicating on the network.
• ONLINE - The node is communicating on the network.
• MAPPED - Events are annunciated by the NCA-2.
• UNMAPPED (blank) - Events are ignored by the NCA-2.
NEXT navigates to the next screen in the sequence. The last screen will not have a NEXT key. BACK will go to the preceding screen in
the sequence or to the Node Programming menu if the current screen is the first one in the 15-screen sequence. ACCEPT implements any
changes that have been made up to this point and returns the user to the Node Programming menu. AUTO PROGRAM will consult the
internal map of which nodes are on the network and automatically set all 240 Nodes according to the map, regardless of which screen is
being shown. The results will not be saved to flash until the ACCEPT key is pressed.
