Steps to Program and Install a NETCOM2P/ACU Control Board …cont’d
12.
From the Program NETCOM2B, NETCOM2 & NETCOM2P Boards screen, enter the IP
address, the Subnet Mask, and a Gateway (optional).
13.
From Program via IP Address or Serial Port, select the port on the PC/laptop with the
serial connection to the control board’s RS-232 (COM4) terminal so the NETCOM2P
can be programmed.
14.
Select the baud rate that corresponds to the control board communication J16 or S2
setting. The recommended ACU bit/s (baud rate) is 57,600.
15.
Leave Ethernet Connection Type set on Automatic Negotiation unless the IT
administrator gives a specific setting.
If the NETCOM device experiences network communication difficulties, you may
have to alter the Ethernet Connection Type from automatic negotiation. (The
Ethernet Connection Type is the network speed & duplex setting). Set the
NETCOM so it matches the network equipment setting. If the network equipment
was on an automatic setting, then reconfigure both the network equipment,
which may include routers or switches, and the NETCOM to a matching fixed
speed and duplex setting. As an example, NETCOM = 100 Mbit/Half Duplex –
Network equipment = 100Mbit/Half Duplex.
16.
Click on the Program NETCOM button.
17.
The Program NETCOM screen indicates it is waiting for a NETCOM reset or power
cycle. Momentarily place a jumper on the control board’s J6 RESET pins then remove
the jumper or press the S1 button.
18.
Wait while the NETCOM Program Tool utility programs the NETCOM device.
If the NETCOM does not program on the 1st attempt, keep the NETCOM Program
Settings screen open and press the F4 key. Click inside the box to the left of
Program Server Address Settings Only so it has a check mark. Ensure the
settings have been retained, including the IP Address, otherwise re-enter them.
Click on the Program NETCOM button. If successful, program the NETCOM one
more time. For additional programming tips, press the F1 key with the Keyscan
NETCOM Program Settings screen open.

When prompted, disconnect the serial cable from the RS-232 (COM4) terminal on the
control board.
