Event Monitoring
If any event types in Event Monitoring are set to NO, control functions such as Drill (Alarm Signal for Canadian applications), System
Reset, and Signal Silence are disabled. However, Acknowledge functions are dependent on the panel's Local Control settings (Refer to
Section 5.5.3, "Panel Settings", on page 68). The following table shows Acknowledge function operation with any event type set to NO
in Event Monitoring.
Local Control Setting:
Yes
No
NOTE: If Trouble and Disable events in the Event Monitoring menu are set to NO, critical information that may impact the fire system may
be missed, It is suggested that Trouble and Disable events remain set to YES.
5.5.1 Network Parameters
Use the following soft keys to select the corresponding field and make changes for that NCA-2 network setting (refer to Figure 5.22 and
Figure 5.23 on page 67):
• NODE NUMBER allows you to change the NCA-2 node number. NOTE: Make sure you do not assign the NCA-2 a node number
already being used by another monitoring device.
• NODE LABEL allows you to edit the local NCA-2's custom label. This appears in Line 1 as part of the "all-systems normal"
message when there are no active events, and in Line 3 of an active-event summary. There is a 40-character maximum. NOTE: This
is the local node label; to change a remote node label, see Section 5.4.3 "Edit Node Label (for a Remote Node)"on page 65.
• CLASS:
• CH A THRESHOLD sets the channel A threshold to HIGH or LOW.
(See the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual or High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual for an explanation of this network function.)
• CH B THRESHOLD sets the channel B threshold to HIGH or LOW.
(See the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual or High-Speed NOTI•FIRE•NET™ Manual for an explanation of this network function.)
• IP DOWNLOAD allows you to enable VeriFire software downloads through the internet. (This setting will not affect VeriFire
downloads via non-internet connections). Pressing the IP DOWNLOAD soft key will display a screen with the following options:
IP ACCESS: OFF - disables internet access for VeriFire downloads
IP ACCESS: ON - enables internet access for VeriFire downloads
IP ACCESS: TIMED - enables internet access for two hours, then times out to disabled
NOTE: Enabling IP Access allows VeriFire downloads over the internet through a Noti-Fire-Net Web Server (NWS).

Pressing the Acknowledge softkey on the NCA-2 will locally acknowledge events and silence the piezo on
the NCA-2 only. Any unacknowledged events on networked fire panels will remain unaffected.
The Acknowledge softkey on the NCA-2 is disabled. Local and networked events remain unacknowledged.
