Table 1. New SNE Series of Network Engine family features and benefits
Feature Description Benefit
Flexible scalable device capacities Four models with varying device capacities and parent server type Provides system designers with flexibility in choosing the SNE model that is most cost-appropriate for the intended application.
High capacity memory 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of eMMC Flash
  • Supports the background file transfer feature.
  • Provides room for future upgrades, reassuring customers of a long operational life once installed.
Linux Operating System (OS) Wind River® Linux Reassures customers that the underlying operating system is a robust, widely-accepted, and readily-supported operating system well-suited for embedded hardware devices.
Diagnostic LEDs Diagnostic LEDs for indicating:
  • Heartbeat activity
  • Faults
  • Ethernet activity
  • Site Director functionality
  • BACnet/IP communication
  • USB integration connectivity
  • FC Bus communication
  • FC Bus End-of-Line status
 Decreases time spent by electrical installers and field technicians when troubleshooting installation or operational issues.
Smaller, modernized packaging
  • 60% reduction in size from the NAE55
  • 20% reduction in size from the NAE35, NAE45
  • Black enclosures with rounded corners
  • Reduces the amount of space needed for mounting, potentially reducing the size and cost of the control panel.
  • Conveys a modern, high value, and recognizable Metasys brand image.
Dual input power Traditional 24 VAC power input as well as an additional 24 VDC power input for use with a backup, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or wall-outlet plug.
  • Reassures customers of system availability and uptime, even during power outages.
  • Provides a convenient and safe way for system engineers to power network engines in an office environment.
Background file transfer Files such as firmware upgrades and archive databases can be transferred from SCT/SCT Pro to the network engines in the background, while they are still operating, and be applied at a later predetermined time. Improves field technicians’ productivity and minimizes system disruption.
Batteryless Data backup during shutdown process is powered with a supercapacitor, rather than a lead acid battery.
  • Saves customers the cost of battery replacement.
  • Reassures customers that our products are environmentally friendly.
Secure boot Prevents malicious or unauthorized software applications from loading during the system start-up process. Reassures customers that their network engines comply with strong cyber security practices.
BTL-listed BTL-listed at Protocol Revision 15 as BACnet Building Controllers (B-BC). Ensures openness and interoperability with other BACnet devices and systems.
