CIM-LINK Setup Guide
CIM-LINK modules, sold in sets of two, are used to establish ACU to ACU communication
between two or more communication loops over an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network for global
functions, such as global anti-pass back, global time zones, or global inputs and outputs.
This guide outlines how to connect the CIM-LINK modules and program the NETCOM2P
with the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility. CIM-LINK modules only communicate over
a network (TCP/IP) using a NETCOM2P.
Before You Start
Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below.
Keyscan recommends reviewing this document and pre-planning where and how the
CIM-LINK modules are connected to create global communication within the access
control communication structure.
The NETCOM2Ps included with the CIM-LINK modules must be programmed with
static IP addresses, subnet masks, and, if applicable, gateways and Ethernet
connection types which you may have to obtain from the IT administrator
Ensure that the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility, which is required for
programming the NETCOM2P and is located on the Keyscan Drivers and Utilities CD, is
installed on a PC or laptop that can be serially connected to the CIM-LINK/NETCOM2P
as outlined in the Program NETCOM2P section
Space is provided on a worksheet at the back of this setup guide for recording all
CIM-LINK jumper settings at all applicable access control units
