How do I configure NOTI-FIRE-NET networking on the NFS2-3030, and what is the maximum node count?

Standard NOTI-FIRE-NET supports up to 103 nodes (54 if using DVC-EM for network paging), while High-Speed NOTI-FIRE-NET supports up to 200 nodes [1], [4].

Each NFS2-3030 node requires a Network Communication Module (NCM or HS-NCM) and a unique node address [1], [2].

1. Install an NCM or HS-NCM module and connect it to the panel [1], [2].

2. Access the Network Programming menu on the FACP or use VeriFire Tools [1], [3].

3. Enter a unique Node Number (valid range 1-240) [3].

4. Define a Node Label to appear in the System Normal message [3].

5. Select the wiring Style (4 or 7) and set the Threshold (High or Low) for each channel [3].

6. Ensure at least one network display, such as an NCA-2, is present on the network [1].
