NX-591NE-GSM NetworX GSM 3G HSPA+
Module Installation Sheet
Description
The NX-591NE-GSM is a microprocessor-controlled GSM
interface module used to connect the NetworX series of control
panels to GSM cellular networks for event reporting. The
module is compatible with the latest 3G and HSPA+ (4G)
networks, as well as backward compatible with 2G networks,
and can be used for primary or backup reporting. Flexible
event selection allows only specific messages to be reported,
keeping airtime to a minimum. The module interfaces with the
NetworX panel data bus and has 9 LEDs to provide extensive
diagnostic and setup information.
Activation
Before installing the module, it must be activated on an existing
dealer account. If you do not have a dealer account, please
contact Interlogix directly to initiate the account set-up
procedure. The activation process automatically activates the
module within a few hours. If you already have a dealer
account, you can activate and manage the module via our
website address:

.
1. Enter your login name and password, then click
Login.
2. Click on Activate Unit on the left side of the page.
3. Enter the serial number of the module from label on
the front of the unit (10-digit number preceded by S/N)
and select Interlogix SMS Plan from the drop-down

4. Fill out the required information and select reporting
options, then click Update.
Installation
To install the module you will need to mount the unit in the
panel enclosure and wire the unit to the main security panel
within the enclosure.
Mounting
Inside the can, several two-holed insertion points have been
constructed. This allows for either vertical or horizontal
placement of the modules. The insertion points have two sizes
of holes, a larger hole and a smaller hole. The black plastic
PCB guides are grooved on one edge where the PC board will
be seated. The end with the half-moon protrusion fits into the
larger hole. The smaller hole is for the screw.
To mount the board, see Figure 1 and do the following:
1. Hold the board vertically, with antenna bracket facing to the
left, near the top of the inside of the panel enclosure to identify
the hole knockout that must be removed to allow for the
antenna to protrude through the top of the can. Note the two
insertion points that align with the board.
2. Remove the knockout from the hole with appropriate tools.
3. Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion
point, grooved edge downward. The half-moon protrusion will
be in the large hole. It does not require force.
4. Insert one of the provided screws into the smaller hole
(from the inside of the can) to secure it in place. A screwdriver
should reach through the notch that runs the length of the
guide to tighten the screw.
5. Position the second PCB guide opposite of the first
(grooved edge up) and placed in the lower insertion point,
using the same procedure.
6. Once mounted, screw it in securely.
7. Slide the board in the grooves of both guides with antenna
bracket facing left.
Note: Older style enclosures did not provide an exit hole for the
antenna included with the GSM module. In such cases, you must
either drill a new hole (5/8 in.) on top of the can or use an optional
external antenna (NX-501E-GSM).
