INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

CAUTION

This modem may require testing and
certification in some European and Asian
countries prior to connecting to the Public
Switched Telephone Network. Refer to the
particular country’s telephone authorities for
further information.

This document covers the mounting and wiring of the
NPB-MDM Modem Card in a Honeywell WEB-201
Controller. For related WEB-IO mounting and wiring
details, refer to the WEB-201 Controller Installation
Instructions, form no. 95-7722.

The Honeywell NPB-MDM Modem Card uses a 56kbps
auto-dial, auto-answer modem with one RJ-11 connector
for the phone line. The NPB-MDM Modem Card must be
installed in Option Slot 1 only, where it operates as
COM1. This disables the RS-232 base serial port (DB-9
connector) on the WEB-201 Controller. Only one
NPB-MDM Modem Card is supported in a WEB-201
Controller. Refer to Fig. 2 for location of option slots.
