NETCOM2P Installation Guide
This guide outlines how to install and program the NETCOM2P—serial to Ethernet
converter—for network communication. As the NETCOM2P can be configured to operate
with a CIM or directly from a PC109x or later ACU control board, this guide is divided into
the following two separate installation sections:
NETCOM2P/CIM Installation—page 2
NETCOM2P/ACU Control Board Installation (PC109x or later)—page 11
Please refer to the appropriate installation instructions and diagrams. Installation
procedures are different for each type of configuration.
Important
Installing the NETCOM2P involves two connection procedures, temporary serial
programming connections and permanent operation connections. This applies to both types
of installations. Please be sure to review the relevant diagrams for programming and
operating connections.
Before You Start
Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below.
Obtain a static IP address, Subnet Mask, and, if applicable, a Gateway from the
network administrator for each NETCOM2P. Space for recording addresses is provided
at the back.
Ensure that you install the latest Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility, which is on
the enclosed CD, on a laptop or PC that can be serially connected to program the
NETCOM2P.
If using Keyscan Aurora software, the control board requires firmware version 9.20 or
higher.
About the Reset Function
During the NETCOM2P programming procedures, you are prompted to reset the device,
which is a soft re-boot. This is equivalent to a power cycle.
