INTRODUCTION The SIEMENS Model NIC-C is a card that provides
HNET/XNET and CAN network communication within
and between enclosures. The HNET/XNET network
can be wired either Style 4 or Style 7. For HNET one
NIC-C is required in each enclosure. Each NIC-C
(HNET or XNET) occupies one HNET address.
When configured for XNET, the NIC-C provides
communication between its FireFinder XLS system
and other FireFinder XLS systems, as well as the
NCCNT-G in an XNET network. MXL systems may
also reside on the same XNET. All events occurring in
the FireFinder XLS will be displayed at the NCCNT-G.
Additionally, these events may be acknowledged and
the system can be reset via the NCCNT-G. Events
initiated by FireFinder XLS members can cause output
state changes (inter-panel logic) in other FireFinder XLS
panels. Inter-panel logic between FireFinder XLS and
MXL is not available. One NIC-C configured for XNET
is required in each FireFinder XLS system connected
to XNET. This NIC-C must reside in the same enclo-
sure as the PMI.
The CAN network 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 regardless of the HNET/
XNET selection.
The NIC-C supervises each network to insure proper
operation. Any faults that are detected by the NIC-C
are reported to the PMI for annunciation. In addition,
the NIC-C has diagnostic LEDs that indicate which
faults have been found. Individual LEDs are included
for HNET/XNET Loop A and Loop B faults, as well as
