Description Interface Board (SIB-NET) to connect it to the Metasys Intelligent Fire Network (Fire Network or FN). The SIB-NET is the interface board that is installed in the IFC-1010/2020 panel that, along with a Media Interface Board (MIB), allows the IFC panel to transmit alarms and trouble events through the FN to other network nodes (IFC panels) for display and recording.

Figure 1: SIB-NET Board Before mounting the SIB-NET in the IFC panel, install the Metasys Fire Network firmware chip on the SIB-NET. Observing proper orientation and ensuring that none of the pins are bent, insert the EPROM into the socket for U15 on the SIB-NET.
BE-2020 basic equipment kits. The ICA-4L is fully compatible with both CAB-2 and CAB-3 Series cabinets and the ICA-4 chassis. In order to accommodate the SIB-NET, the chassis used in Tier 1 (top row of the IFC panel) of the CAB Series cabinet must be an ICA-4L chassis. In the remaining tiers of the CAB cabinet, either the ICA-4 or ICA-4L can be used.

Note: Since the SIB-NET circuit board has a 16-pin electrical receptacle, it will connect to all 16 pins of the ICA-4L chassis. No pins are exposed when using a SIB-NET (Figure 2). All of the other circuit boards that mount into the chassis will have an exposed pin.

Table 3: SIB-NET P3 Terminal Designations Terminal Numbers Description Terminals 1 to 4 Provide wiring for one printer to this unsupervised circuit. Note: This is not the connection for the PRN-4 dedicated printer used with the Fire OWS. Terminals 5 to 8 Provide connection to the Keltron VS4095/5 printer or any UL EDP Listed printer.

Programming The SIB-NET can be programmed through full point programming on the IFC panel. The flowchart below shows the specific system configuration parameters and the choices available. For more detailed information, see the Full Point Programming section of the IFC-1010/2020 Programming Technical Bulletin (LIT-448060).
