Installation Instructions
Model NIC-C
Network Interface Card
INTRODUCTION
P/N 315-033240-13
The Model NIC-C from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a card
that provides HNET/XNET and CAN network communi-
cation within and between enclosures. The HNET/XNET
network can be wired either Class-B/Style 4 or Class-X/
Style 7 . For HNET one NIC-C is required in each enclo-
sure. Each NIC-C (HNET or XNET) occupies one HNET
address. See Table 1 for restrictions on the location of
equipment on the HNET and XNET.
When configured for XNET, the NIC-C provides commu-
nication between FireFinder XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular systems, as well as the
NCC or Desigo CC in an XNET network. MXL systems
may also reside on the same XNET. All events occurring
in the FireFinder XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular will be displayed at the NCC or
Desigo CC. Additionally, these events may be acknowl-
edged and the system can be reset via the NCC or
Desigo CC. Events initiated by FireFinder XLS/Desigo
Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular members
can cause output state changes (inter-panel logic) in
other FireFinder XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular panels. Inter-panel logic be-
tween FireFinder XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular and MXL is not available. One
NIC-C configured for XNET is required in each FireFinder
XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular
system connected to XNET. This NIC-C must reside in
the same enclosure as the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 (XLS),
FCM2041-U2 (Desigo Fire Safety Modular), FCM2041-
U3 (Cerberus PRO Modular).
Additionally, the NCC-GL is supported where display and
control of an individual XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular system is required. The NCC-GL
must be connected to the XNET network. The
connection to HNET is not supported.
The CAN network is also supported by NIC-C. It can be isolated within a given
enclosure or extended external to the enclosure. External CAN networks require
either an RNI, OCM-16 or SIM-16 in the remote enclosure. The CAN address of the
NIC-C does not need to be set.
A single NIC-C provides either HNET or XNET. The CAN interface is available regard-
less of the HNET/XNET selection.
