Notifier NCB-EL and NCB-FL Router

NCB EL and NCB FL Router Installation Document document covers the procedures and specifications for installing the above listed unit s and when information regarding configuration on the monitored device For more detailed configura and operation information refer to the Network Installation Manual or Echelon Local Area Server as appropriate and NCB FL Series Network Combiner Routers routers are Echelon network devices that when used in pairs allow you to connect multiple Echelon networks real time spanning great distances Communication between two NCB EL routers is via an Ethernet to Lonworks connection that uses CAT 5 Ethernet cross over cable Communication between two NCB FL routers is via an Ethernet Fiber to Lonworks connection that uses fiber optic wire runs Ethernet or Fiber

you to connect Echelon network segments isolated by great distances that cannot be spanned conventional wire media Maximum wire lengths are listed in the NCB Wiring Distance Limitations Table on 4 and should be considered the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM In many cases where special care is not taken to the specified wire from electrical noise moisture etc reliable long term operation cannot be sustained at wire lengths Communication EL and FL and NCB FL routers allow multiple LonWorks networks to be connected in real time covering distances campus wide to global these routers use Internet Protocol IP for data transport Communication between via NCB router units is live delayed only by the transit time through the integral routers and Ethernet The NCB EL uses standard CAT5 cross over cable and the NCB FL uses dedicated fiber optic cable the NCB EL NCB FL Router routers are always used in pairs EL with EL and FL with FL with one at each end of the Ethernet path Initial router configuration is handled by a set of DIP switches on the front of each router labeled Switches one through six are not used switches seven and eight are used to configure the router for the of network media being used 10Base2 not used for this application 10BaseT used the NCB EL or AUI used for the NCB FL The NCB reads the DIP switch settings at or after you press the RESET button These switches are used to set the

information on NCB EL NCB FL router configuration to the manufacturer documentation included with the product and NCB FL Routers two routers are similar in function to the NCB IM Physically they differ from NCB IM routers in that they are routers and they communicate over Ethernet instead of a telephone line The 10BaseT and AUI ports for the connection to the Ethernet network Only one port
