NETCOM-16D
Multiport Device Server
Product description
Installation instructions
To install the NETCOM-16D, complete these steps in order.
1. Select a desktop location for the NETCOM-16D.
2. Connect one or more serial (RS-232) devices to the
RJ-45 ports. See "Wiring diagram."

lnk pol
Note: To provide a proper interface for the

NETCOM-16D, EST2 and IRC-3 panels require an
IOP3-A and FCC panels require an FCOM-232 card.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the 10Base-T port on the

NETCOM-16D and then to your Ethernet network
connection. See "Wiring diagram."
The NETCOM-16D is a multiport device server that provides
shared network access to terminals, devices, console ports,
and printers for a variety of network protocols and operating
systems. The NETCOM-16D will network-enable up to 16
peripheral serial devices in one location.
4. Attach one end of the power cable to the NETCOM-16D

and plug the other end into a surge protected electrical
outlet or UPS (recommended). See "Wiring diagram."
5. Turn on the NETCOM-16D.
The NETCOM-16D goes through a set of power-up
diagnostics for 12 seconds. The LEDs show varying
patterns corresponding to the tests being run.

If you are connecting an RJ-45 port to a DTE device (such as a

terminal) that has a DB-25 connector, you will need to use an
RJ-45-DTE DB-25 adapter. To connect an RJ-45 port to a
DB-25 connector on a DCE device, you will need an RJ-45 to
DCE DB-25 adapter.

Step 7:
Introduction
This installation checklist is a supplement to the NETCOM-1F
User Guide. Use this checklist to set up and install your
NETCOM-1F. Make sure you follow the procedures in the
order shown.
Parts you will need:
Note: If you are using the NETCOM-1F with an

ACDB computer or FireWorks computer with
CCTV controllers, you need to install the
NETDIRECT software and set it up to
communicate on your network. Follow the
procedures in Section 4, "NETDIRECT," in the
NETCOM-1F User Guide for installation and
setup information. Refer to both the "Overview"
and "Application" settings on pages 2 and 3 of
this installation sheet for configuration settings.

Steps for setting up and installing a

NETCOM-1F
Step 1:
Review Section 1, "Introduction," in the

NETCOM-1F User Guide. This will help you to
become familiar with the NETCOM-1F's
specifications, LEDs, RJ-45 connection, and fiber
optic connections.
Step 2:
Follow the procedures in Section 2, "Getting

Started," in the NETCOM-1F User Guide for
connecting the NETCOM-1F to a computer
and/or Ethernet network and for assigning an IP
address to the NETCOM-1F. Also refer to the
topic "System setup procedures and worksheets"
in the Network Applications Manual
(P/N 3100576) for obtaining IP addresses.
Step 3:
Configure the communication ports on each

control panel, FireWorks, and ACDB computer to
communicate with the NETCOM-1F. See pages 2
and 3 of this installation sheet for configuration
settings. Refer to both the "Overview" and
"Application" settings.
Follow the procedures in Section 3, "Configuring

the Unit," in the NETCOM-1F User Guide for
configuring the NETCOM-1F to communicate on
a network.
Step 8:
After all installation, wiring, and communication

settings are complete, test the communication of
each NETCOM-1F with each component they are
connected to.

Step 4:
Disconnect the NETCOM-1F from your PC or

network.
Step 5:
Install the NETCOM-1F in a cabinet using the

NETCOM-BRKT mounting bracket. See
installation sheet P/N 3100575.
Step 6:
Connect all wiring. See Figure 1.

- Connect the 24 Vdc power wiring

- Connect the RJ-45 or fiber optic network wiring
- Connect the DB-25 RS-232 wiring
Note: To provide a proper interface for the device
server, EST2 and IRC-3 panels require an
IOP3-A and FCC panels require an FCOM-232
card.
Caution: When using a NETCOM-1F between a
FireWorks computer and CCTV controllers, if
either of the two transmit or receive wires are
shorted, you will lose communications. To
reestablish communications, shut down and
restart FireWorks.

Notes
[1] Remove the transformer from the supplied power cable
and connect the wires to a 24 Vdc power source on the
control panel.
Solid black wire = positive (+)

White striped wire = negative (-)
[2] Pinout requirements can be found in the NETCOM-1F

User Guide in Section 1, "Introduction" and in the table
below.
[3] The NETCOM-1F can be configured to operate on CH1 or
CH2.
[4] Either the Ethernet connection or the fiber optic
connection can be used, but not both simultaneously.

After all installation, wiring, and communication

settings are complete, test the communication of
each NETCOM-1S with each component they are
connected to.

Notes
[1] Remove the transformer from the supplied power cable
and connect the wires to a 24 Vdc power source on the
control panel. Polarity:
Solid black wire = positive (+)

White striped wire = negative (-)
- Connect the 24 Vdc power wiring

- Connect the RJ-45 network wiring
- Connect the DB-25 RS-232 wiring
[2] Pinout requirements can be found in the NETCOM-1S

User Guide in Section 1, "Introduction" and in the table
below.
Note: To provide a proper interface for the device

server, EST2 and IRC-3 panels require an IOP3-A
and FCC panels require an FCOM-232 card.
DB-25
Caution: When using a NETCOM-1S between a

FireWorks computer and CCTV controllers, if
either of the two transmit or receive wires are
shorted, you will lose communications. To
reestablish communications, shut down and
restart FireWorks.

Overview of configuration settings
Application specific configuration settings
NETCOM-1S configuration settings are dependent on two

factors, the panel you are connecting to and the application
you are setting up.
The following settings are application specific and should be

used for each of the listed applications. See the Network
Applications Manual (P/N 3100576).

Step 1:
Review the NETSW-EIS Series Technical

Reference Manual for installation information,
wiring diagrams, specifications, LEDs, fiber cable
connections, and RJ-45 connections. Also see
the diagram on this sheet.
Step 2:
Install the unit in a cabinet using the NETCOMBRKT mounting bracket. See installation sheet
P/N 3100575.
Step 3:
Connect the fiber optic network cables to the

switch using the procedures described in the
NETSW-EIS Series Technical Reference Manual
and the diagram on this sheet.
Step 4:
Using CAT5 cable, connect the device servers,

FireWorks, or ACDB computers to the RJ-45
connections on the switch. Refer to the NETSWEIS Series Technical Reference Manual and the
diagram on this sheet.

Note: Do not connect the NETCOM-1F fiber

ports to the NETSW fiber ports.
Step 5:
Connect the power wiring to the switch using the

procedures described in the NETSW-EIS Series
Technical Reference Manual and the diagram on
this sheet.
Step 6:
Turn on the computers. When the computers

come online, they will configure themselves
accordingly. Refer to the topic "System setup
procedures and worksheets" in the Network
Applications Manual, for details on getting the IP
addresses and subnet mask of your new
network.
Step 7:
Configure all device servers (NETCOM-1S or

NETCOM-1F). Refer to installation sheet P/N
3100571 and 3100572 for detailed instructions.
