OPERATION
The FireFinder (NCC) Upgrade Kits expand the
operating parameters of an existing NCC system as
follows:
• NCC-G16: provides an existing NCC graphics
system with the capability to control/monitor
additional 16 MXL panels
• NCC-16T: provides an existing NCC text system
with the capability to control/monitor additional 16
MXL panels
• NCC-1T-UK allows an existing NCC-1T (16
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-1G (16 node/
graphics)
• NCC-2T-UK allows an existing NCC-2T (32
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-2G (32 node/
graphics)
• NCC-3T-UK allows an existing NCC-3T (48
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-3G (48 node/
graphics)
• NCC-4T-UK allows an existing NCC-4T (64
node/text) to upgrade to a NCC-4G (64 node/
graphics)
• NCC-GL1 allows an existing NCC-GL system to
upgrade to a NCC-1G (16 node/graphics)
All FireFinder (NCC) upgrade kits are compatible with
both the NCC OS/2 version and NCC NT™ version.
The minimum NCC software revision required to
recognize the NCC software upgrade keys is 2.23 for
the OS/2 version and 4.01 for the NT™ version.
FireFinder Upgrade Kits include an NCC Upgrade
Software Key and NCC Manual (not included with the
NCC-16 or NCC-GL1 series). The existing NCC
components such as NCC software program,
keyboard templates, and NCC-1F card remain the
same.
INSTALLATION
1.Your existing NCC computer should have the
original NCC software key plugged into the LPT
2 port as shown in Figure 1 on the next page.
2.Insert your NCC upgrade software key directly
into the existing NCC software key. Secure key
