Card Description
ARCNET ARCNET LAN communication is provided by a standard ARCNET card (Ordered separately.
Card See Specifications and Order Codes for more information.) connected into ISA Bus Slot 1
(Figure 1: Callout 4).
Ethernet An Ethernet card (Ordered separately. See Specifications and Order Codes for more
Card information.) connected into ISA Bus Slot 1 (Figure 1: Callout 4) of the NCM350 allows you to
connect the Metasys system directly to an Ethernet network. This allows you to communicate
with other devices on the Ethernet LAN, without the use of an Ethernet Router. Metasys
system functionality is the same on both the Ethernet and ARCNET LANs.
Note:
to have both ARCNET and Ethernet connections, you must use the ARCNET LAN and
connect to Ethernet using the Ethernet Router. For details, refer to the Metasys Ethernet
Router Technical Bulletin (LIT-6295035).
You cannot do smoke control on an Ethernet network where UL 864 is required. See the
Smoke Control Restrictions section of the Smoke Control Technical Bulletin (LIT-636330).

Media The Media Interface Board (MIB-OWS) is a communication card that allows the Fire-Net
Interface NCM to be connected to the Metasys Intelligent Fire Network. Insert the MIB-OWS in the
Board second ISA slot (Figure 1: Callout 5). Detailed information on setting up the NCM as a
Fire-Net NCM can be found in Appendix A: Fire-Net NCM of this document.
Serial Card A non PnP serial card can be placed in either ISA slot to allow direct connection of a printer
or OWS. See Table 11 for details.
Note:

16550AF serial card is the SIIG Model IO-1809. The card cannot be a PnP device.
