Introduction
This section introduces you to the Network Terminal, including its
capabilities and features.
The end of this section describes this manual’s structure and intended
audience.
The Network Terminal (NT) is a simple, lightweight, portable operator
interface to the Metasys®system. A standard telephone jack connects
the NT to any Network Control Module (NCM) on the Metasys system.
(For the NCM45x0-2 model, the NCM4500 NT Cable Kit is required.)
This direct connection allows for easy access to any system functions
available for your password level.
Overview of the
Network Terminal
You can also connect the NT to the NCM from remote locations (up to
one mile) on a separate NT trunk. (This capability is not available with
the NCM45x0-2 model.)
The NT provides some of the functions available from the standard
Operator Workstation in one neat, easy-to-use package. In fact, using the
NT is as simple as making a phone call! All you do is:
1. Establish the connection--plug the NT in to any NCM or Remote NT
Jack.
2. Introduce yourself--log on and enter your password.
3. Talk to the Metasys system--enter data and select options.
4. Listen to the Metasys system--follow screen instructions, view
summaries.
5. End your conversation--log off.

Figure 1: Basic NT Screen Format
Network Terminal User’s Manual 5

The Display Screen consists of an Instruction Area, a Summary Area,
Screen Options, and Commands.
Display Screen
The Instruction Area on the upper left corner of the display screen guides
you step-by-step through each procedure. As you select the Screen
Options, the message in this area tells you exactly what to do next.
The format of the display in the Summary Area varies according to the
options you select. For instance, some options display only system or
object IDs in the Summary Area, while others display expanded IDs and
status information. The Getting Started section describes the various
formats in greater detail.
The Screen Options, which appear on the right of the screen, give you
access to the screen display functions. For instance, when the first screen
(System IDs) displays, selecting the ALARM option will show a list of
all the systems that have objects in an alarm state.
A Screen Option only appears when it is valid. Each option occupies the
same location each time it appears. When it is not a valid option, that
same location may be occupied by another option.
The Commands at the bottom of the screen allow you to control Metasys
operations. See the Getting Started section of this document for a
complete list of Commands. A Command is only selectable when it
appears with a box around it.
The Touchpad is the area below the display screen. To select an option
or command, just press the area on the Touchpad that corresponds to the
Screen Option or Command location on the display screen.
Touchpad
The ENTER Area occupies the same area on the Touchpad as the
Instruction Area does on the Display Screen.

Getting Started
This section explains how to use the NT to communicate with the
Metasys system.
Communication includes:
Communicating
with the Metasys
System zestablishing a connection--plugging the NT to any NCM or Remote
NT Jack
ztalking to the Metasys system--entering data and selecting options
introducing yourself to the Metasys system--logging on and entering
your password
zlistening to the Metasys system--understanding screen displays and
summaries
To establish a connection with the Metasys system, just plug the NT
connector directly into the modular phone jack of any NCM (see Figure 2
and Figure 3). For an NCM45x0-2 model, use the NCM4500 NT Cable
Kit (MS-NC45NTK-0 or MS-NC45NTE-0) to provide the data and
power connection (see Figure 4).
Establishing a
Connection
The NT cable extends up to 4 1/2 feet away from the NCM. While
you’re using the NT, you can either hold it in your hand or leave it
hooked to the mounting bracket on the NCU. Mounting brackets are
available on 2-slot and 5-slot NCUs.
You can also communicate with the NCM by plugging the NT into a
Remote Network Terminal Jack (not supported with NCM45x0-2). The
NT can function remotely up to one mile (1.6 km) away from the NCM
over a separate NT trunk. For more information on the Remote NT, refer
to the Network Terminal Technical Bulletin (LIT-636012).

When first connected to the NCM, the NT briefly displays a copyright
screen. Then it displays the Log Off screen showing the current period
(Alternate, Regular, or Holiday), the day, date, and time. The only option
available on the Log Off screen is LOG ON.
When no one is logged on to the NT, the Log Off screen may display a
Hold Summary of up to six HOLD objects per NCM with current data
and status. The screen summary refreshes every 20 seconds. You cannot
select the objects on this screen. Refer to Requesting Information for
details on assigning objects to the Hold Summary.
The figure below is a typical Log Off screen. The object summaries
displayed on this screen vary according to your system.

Commands
Commands are available only when they are boxed. If an object is offline
or disabled, commands may appear but not be selectable. For example, if
a BO object is offline, the START or STOP commands may appear on
the screen unboxed, therefore unselectable.
The Commands vary from screen to screen. Most Commands are self-
explanatory. The following table lists those Commands that are available
for an entire system, and for a system’s Hardware Objects and Software
Objects. There are two pairs of toggle Commands (that is, only one
command of the pair is available at any time): HOLD/CLEAR and
DISABLE/ENABLE.
The Command information in the following table is also available
through the NT’s online HELP feature.
