Model VNT
Virtual Network Tunnel
INTRODUCTION
INSTALLATION
P/N 315-050490-3
The Model VNT Virtual Network Tunnel (as shown in Figure 1) from Siemens Industry,
Inc. is a UL approved fanless single board computer that is powered from its local
24V power supply with battery back up. The VNT Gateway is responsible for support-
ing the intercommunication of system components.
It transports HNET and XNET supervision and
monitoring between VNTs via TCP/IP . It also routes
audio over TCP/IP when required between VNTs. If
the VNT Gateway is at a control point, it is respon-
sible for generating audio from the local source.
The VNT Gateway utilizes some or all of the
following interfaces depending upon its location
within the system:
• 100BaseT TCP/IP connection to a local Fiber Ring Switch. This connection
transports the network signals (HNET and XNET), audio, supervision and
monitoring data streams.
• One or more independent HNET RS485 interfaces to the module network of an
XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular or its components.
• An XNET RS485 interface to the XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus
PRO Modular node(s) within a given system.
• An XNET over TCP/IP feed to an NCC at a command center.
• An HNET RS485 interface to an XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus
PRO Modular node within a given system.
• An audio input to accept a microphone paging source.
• An audio output to distribute paging audio to a given system.
The VNT mounts on a VNT-MP in a CAB1, CAB2 or CAB3 enclosure. Refer to the VNT-MP
Installation Instructions, P/N 315-050489, for information on mounting the VNT-MP .
Remove all system power before installation, first battery then AC. (To power up,
connect the AC first, then the battery.)
