Description
(NU-NCM300-0, -1) The NCM300 is connected to the Metasys network via the
N1 ARCNET® Local Area Network (LAN).
(NU-NCM311-1) The NCM311 is the European version of the NCM300. Construction
and operation are similar to the NCM300; however, there are minor modifications that
are required to conform with European Safety and Emission standards that apply in all
European Union countries.
(NU-NCM350-1) The NCM350 is functionally the same as the NCM300; however, it
can connect to either an ARCNET or Ethernet LAN.
You can upgrade from an NCM300 either by swapping the NU-NCM300-0 for an
NCM350, or by upgrading an NU-NCM300-1 at Rev. B or later using the
NU-NCM300-1 to NU-NCM350-1 Upgrade Kit (NU-ROM150). Instructions come with
the upgrade kit.
Note: Do not attempt to upgrade NU-NCM300-1s at Rev. A hardware or any
revisions of NU-NCM300-0s to NCM350s. If you have already tried to upgrade one of
these models, choose one of the following options:
Replace the ROM SIMM with an NU-ROM101. The NCM is now an NCM300 suitable
for ARCNET applications only.
Return the NCM to the repair center for upgrade to NU-NCM350-1. Go to the Products
Focus tab and click on Repair Center > NCM3n0Upgrade on The Advisor for details.

with configuration data. The Flash chip also contains information about the ISA drivers,
and the user can download additional information to the Flash chip.
