Installing the Network Transceiver on NCB Series Routers

NCB routers require an SMX network transceiver to connect to the local Echelon network segment. Any standard

network transceiver is supported by the NCB module. Follow these steps to install the transceiver:

1. Remove the back plate of the NCB router.

from the front panel.

2. Carefully remove the router motherboard from the enclosure.

3. Mount stand-offs provided with the transceiver to the motherboard.

4. Carefully mount the network transceiver by seating the header socket on the NCB SMX header.

5. Reinsert the motherboard into the NCB enclosure (be sure to attach network media to the network connec-

tor on the transceiver first) and replace the back cover.

NCB Wiring Distance Limitations Table

NONO

TE 1:TE 1:

TE 1: Unless specifically stated otherwise, all wire described is twisted, unshielded, and protected from electrical noise to the same extent

computer network wiring would be if run in the same areas.

NONO

TE 2: TE 2:

TE 2: The technical description for wire types normally specifies the wire gauge; for instance, wire specified as CAT-5 is normally 22 or 24

gauge. It takes a special effort to obtain wire that meets the electrical specifications (capacitance, characteristic impedance, velocity factor),

exceeds the attenuation, and is a lower gauge wire, and technically the wire at that point would no longer be “CAT 5.” Jobs using the NCB

routers at these wire distances should be approved by Notifier prior to purchase.
