The NIC has two ports; left and right. The network is wired in a ring topology; the left port on one NIC connects
to the right port on the next NIC.
Network card settings
Set the NIC card and CPU motherboard jumpers according to the position of switches and links on the NIC
shown here:
Figure 48. NIC indicators, controls, and connectors
On the CPU motherboard
Links P10/P11 on the CPU motherboard are fitted in position 1–2. This is the default setting.
On the NIC
Use SW2 to set the NIC card address. This address must match the address set for the NIC in the configuration
file for the panel.
There are two jumpers on the NIC. All setting options are labelled on the card.
P3: Determines the NIC data transmission rate. All NICs in a networked fire alarm system must be set to the
same data transmission rate.
