Enrolling; Understanding The Lights; Wiring - GE Network Series Installation And Startup

4. ENROLLING

The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the
presence of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other device on the
keypad buss. This allows these devices to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the
devices, enter the Program Mode of the NX control panel using the procedure outlined in the NX
Installation Manual. When the Program Mode is exited, the NX control will automatically enroll
all the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the AService@
LED will illuminate. When using the LCD Keypad, the "Service Required" message will be
displayed. User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. Once a module is
enrolled, if the control panel does not detect it, the AService@ LED will illuminate.

5. UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHTS

The Internet module has five (5) red LEDs along the front of the board and two more on the SIM
module. These LEDs provide valuable information about the status of the Internet module and
the network as shown in the following table.
LED
Flashes each time the NX-590E has an opportunity to access the NetworX bus. It
DS1
should be flashing about two times each second.
DS3 Flashes when it is waiting for a communication from the Ethernet Module.
DS4 On when waiting for a reply from a NetworX buss device.
DS5 Flashes when the NX-590E gets a packet from the Ethernet module.
DS6 On when the bus has a message to send to the network.
DS3 - DS6 will be off if the system is initialized, normal and waiting for a new event to
report.
(on SIM module) Flashes ON Ethernet Activity
L1
(on SIM module) Steady ON when Ethernet Link is established with the 10BT cable.
L2
The sixth LED is located toward the back of the board. It is used for hardware, and
DS2
will only glow dimly when connected to the NX8 / NX8-E control.

6. WIRING

Wire the 3-position terminal on the Internet module to the NX control as follows: Positive to KP
POS, COM to KP COM, and DATA to KP DATA. Connect the Ethernet Jack J16 (10BT) to a
10BT Ethernet capable hub, router or gateway. Do not use a CASCADE or X port in crossover
mode.
