  • Page 9: Section One: Nfn Gateway Overview

    Section One: NFN Gateway Overview 1.1 Product Description The NFN Gateway is a component of the UniNet™ 2000 system that connects directly to a NOTI•FIRE•NET™ (version 5 or later). The NFN Gateway bridges the UniNet™ 2000 network with the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ network; it accomplishes this by acting as a server on the NFN network.
  • Page 10: Nfn Gateway System Architecture

    1.2 NFN Gateway System Architecture The NFN Gateway assembly connects to NOTI•FIRE•NET™ through NUP via the NCM-W/F; the NFN Gateway connects to UniNet® 2000 via Ethernet. The NFN Gateway bridges a UniNet™ 2000 and NOTI•FIRE•NET™ system together, and it can use a UniNet™ 2000 Workstation as the primary reporting station of NOTI•FIRE•NET™.
