GENERAL
The NAM-232 Network Adapter Module functions as an in-
terface between the AFP-200, AFP-300, and AFP-400 Fire
Alarm Control Panels and the NOTI•FIRE• NET™. The
control panels each consume a single-node address on the
network. The NAM-232 interfaces to the control panels
through the EIA-232 serial communications port.
NOTI•FIRE•NET™ isaseriesofsystemsthatallowagroup
of Fire Alarm Control Panels and other control equipment to
connect together to form a true peer-to-peer network. Equip-
ment that connects to NOTI•FIRE• NET™ and communi-
cates with other equipment using the network may be re-
ferred to as a network node. An NFS-3030/NFS-640 Fire
AlarmSystemwithanNCMNetworkControlModuleinstalled;
an NCA Network Control Annunciator with an NCM installed;
an AM2020/AFP1010 Fire Alarm System with a SIB-NET Se-
rial Interface Board installed; an NCS Network Control Sta-
tion; an INA Intelligent Network Annunciator; and an AFP-
200/300/400 with a NAM-232 may all be network nodes. The
network supports communications over a twisted-pair wire
or fiber-optic medium. A network combination of both wire
and fiber may exist in the same network.
NOTE: Refer to manual network configuration section for panel
compatibility.
NOTI•FIRE•NET™ is a trademark of NOTIFIER, 1994.
NETWORK FEATURES
AFP-200:
1. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si-
lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-200.
2. Limited cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1-
45 are network independent. Zones 46-89 are initialized
as one (1) “OR” equation.
3. The local node can send or receive network zone activa-
tions.
AFP-300/AFP-400:
1. Read/Alter Status; Group Enable/Disable; Individual Point
Enable/Disable.
2. The network has the ability to send Acknowledge, Si-
lence, and Reset commands to the AFP-300/AFP-400.
3. Cooperative control-by-event (CCBE). Zones 1-99 are
network independent.
4. The local node can send or receive network zone activa-
tions.
5. Remote ACS control via the INA EIA-485 port. Two (2)
annunciator addresses for a total of 128 annunciator
points per AFP-300/AFP-400 system.

LED INDICATORS
•RECON: This yellow LED should remain off at all
times when the network is operating properly. If it
illuminates periodically, check the network media and
thresholds using the MET-1 (Media Evaluation Tool).
•STATB: This yellow LED illuminates when the NAM-
232 is not receiving valid data from NOTI•FIRE•
NET™ on Port “B”.
•RCVDB: This green LED illuminates when the NAM-
232 is receiving data from the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ on
Channel “B” (wire or fiber connection).
•B HI (NAM-232W only):This green LED illuminates
to indicate the NAM-232W Channel “B” is set for
high threshold (N/A on NAM-232F).
•A HI (NAM-232W only):This green LED illuminates
to indicate the NAM-232W Channel “A” is set for
high threshold (N/A on NAM-232F).
•RCVDA: This green LED illuminates when the NAM-
232 is receiving data from the NOTI•FIRE•NET™ on
Channel “A” (wire or fiber connection).
•STATA: This yellow LED illuminates when the NAM-
232 is not receiving valid data from NOTI•FIRE•NET™
on Port “A”.
•PULSE: This green LED illuminates when the NAM-
232 is transmitting data to NOTI•FIRE•NET™.
•TROUBLE: This yellow LED indicates that the NAM-
232 is not functioning.
•TXD: This green LED indicates when the NAM-232
is transmitting data over the EIA-232 interface to the
AFP-200, AFP-300, AFP-400 FACP.
•RXD: This green LED indicates when the NAM-232
is receiving data over the EIA-232 interface from the
AFP-200, AFP-300, AFP-400 FACP.

• Supports fiber optic medium.
• Transmission rate of 312.5 Kbaud.
• DIP switch selectable single-port or dual-port monitoring.
• DIP switch selectable network drill option.
• Data is regenerated at each node.
• Data is immune to all environmental noise.
• Diagnostic LED indicators.

MOUNTING
The NAM-232 normally mounts inside the back of the control
panel cabinet. The NAM-232 can also mount in the cabinet of
other nodes on the network, provided that the distance be-
tween the NAM-232 and its host node is not greater than 50
feet (15.24 m).
GENERAL NOTES:
1) AFP-200, AFP-300, and AFP-400 lose local CRT capability
when connected to the NAM-232.
2)AFP-200 system loses local printer and CRTcapability when
connected to the NAM-232.
