Product Overview
The Serial Network Card (Model SNC) from Siemens ─
Fire Safety is a network
card that is v2.0 USB compliant, and is used to connect a Siemens
Modular |
FireFinder and / or MXL panels with a Siemens Management Stations, via
XNET communications.
Manufactured to replace the Model NCC-2F card, Model SNC
optionally
provides an interface to wide-
area network (WAN) components, including the
Siemens Model HUB-4 card over HNET communications.
One (1) Model SNC can provide connectivity to
either a XNET or HNET
network, while the use of two (2) SNCs can connect
to XNET and HNET
networks.
Similarly, one (1) Model SNC may also be used in a
Siemens Modular |
FireFinder and / or MXL panel configuration –
with Model SNC housed inside
the Siemens Virtual Network Tunnel (VNT). This allows for
interfacing HNET
and XNET between multiple XLS systems.
Model SNC provides an electrical isolation between
the Siemens
Management Station PC and the actual network.
Each Siemens SNC module fits in any available PCI
or PCI Express compliant
slot. Model SNC is independent of the slot connection, and the tab is
only
used for additional support.
The electrical connection (data & power) for Model SNC is
made via the USB
2.0 interface.
