NETCOM2P/ACU Control Board Installation
For installing a NETCOM2P mounted directly on an ACU control board—PC109x or later—
follow the directions from page 11 to page 18.
Install Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool Utility
Each NETCOM2P that you are installing must be programmed with the Keyscan NETCOM
Program Utility. Ensure you have the latest NETCOM Program Utility software installed
which is on the enclosed CD; otherwise you may encounter communication difficulties. You
require a PC or laptop that has a direct serial connection with the NETCOM2P via the CIM
terminal block to program the device. To install the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility,
load the Keyscan Utilities & Drivers CD into the CD-ROM or DVD drive. Locate and double
click on the Keyscan NETCOM Setup and follow the on-screen prompts.
Important
If you program the NETCOM2P with a previous version of the NETCOM Program Tool utility,
you may experience technical difficulties. You may then have to re-program the NETCOM
following the procedures outlined in Manually Configure the NETCOM via a Serial
Connection on page 18.
Connection Diagrams
Connection diagrams are on the succeeding pages of the guide as outlined:
See Figure 6 or Figure 7 for temporary serial programming connections to the
laptop/PC with the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool software.
See Figure 8 for permanent network operating connections with a NETCOM2P and
ACU. This format only supports a one panel communication loop.
Steps to Program and Install a NETCOM2P on a Control Board
The NETCOM2P can be plugged directly into a PC109x or later control board. Please note
that this configuration only supports a single control board communication loop. For
programming the NETCOM2P (required), use a direct serial connection via the RS-232
(COM4) terminal block on the ACU as instructed.
