1ProductOverview
The High-Speed Network Communications Module (HS-NCM) provides a means for connecting specific Notifier firealarm control products to High-Speed NOTIFIRENETTM There are six types of HS-NCMs available: HS-NCM-W for connecting nodes with twisted-pair wire; HS-NCM-MF and HS-NCM-SF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-opticcable; HS-NCM-WMF and HS-NCM-WSF are used for connecting nodes with fiber-optic cables to nodes with twisted-pair wire; HS-NCM-MFSF for connecting nodes with multi-mode fiber cable to nodes with single-mode fiber cable. The following equipment may be used with the HS-NCM:

One HS-NCM can provide network munication for up to two nodes (including fire alam control panels and networkannunciators).
Per UL 864 9th Edition the HS-NCM uses Active Multiplex Type 3 Communication.

5HS-NCMConfiguration
HS-NCM configuration changes are made via the VeriFire Tools Programming Utility version 5.7 or higher.
VeriFire Tools can be connected to the HS-NCM via two different methods:
▪VeriFire Tools connected to any node on a network using the HS-NCM for network munication. •HS-NCM directly connected to VeriFire Tools.
via the NUP connection at the fire panel external power is needed. Refer to “External Power forHS-NCM Applications* on page 12
Perform the following steps to modify the HS-NCM’s configuration parameters using VeriFire Tools. Refer to theVeriFire Tools CD on-line help file.
Connect VeriFire Tools to the network or directly connected to the HS-NCM. source.3. In VeriFire Tools access the Upload/Download Screen:
Connect the HS-NCM to the FACP via either NUP port or provide power from an external UL/ULC listed power
In the “Network Node Session" of the Upload/Download screen find the node connected to the HS-NCM beingconfigured.
NOTE: When the HS-NCM is directly connected to the VeriFire Tols the node listed in the e se umous s ueos peooedn so ue eu ouoss p ome.VeriFire”
