Must Read before you begin installation
•The CardAccess.UniverseFinder.exe utility is used to search for, and discover a CICP1300NETBD2
ethernet adaptor and configure the ethernet settings and Peer-to-Peer lockdown.
•The Universe Finder utility must be version V1.5.0.1 or later. Please contact Technical Support if you need
an updated version. Note: A compatible version is included in CA4K, V1.1.6x and later.
•The CICP1300NETBD2 must use Ethernet firmware version 17.7.7 or later. Please contact Technical
Support if you need an updated version. Note: A compatible version of the Universe Finder utility is
included in the CA4K, V1.1.6x and later.
•The CICP1300NETBD2 Ethernet Adapter defaults to DHCP mode. A DHCP enabled router is
recommended to provide an IP address to the CICP1300NETBD2 Ethernet Adapter. Upon obtaining an IP
address from DHCP, it is recommended to program in a static IP address that must never change. Please
contact your network administrator for a static IP address.
•The computer with the Universe Finder utility must be on the same subnet as the IP address provided by the
DHCP enabled router.
•To RESET (clear) any previously programmed IP address information, and to Reset the log in credentials,
you must follow the instructions in Appendix A and B.
•The Universe Finder utility also contains web utility that should not be used on the CICP1300NETBD2. It
is executed by clicking the Launch Web button. The Web utility is only for the CICP2100/CICP2100S
controllers with older firmware.
Overview
This document contains information regarding the programming of the CICP1300NETBD2 ethernet
network adapter, using the Universe Finder utility. The Universe Finder utility must be version V1.5.0.1 or
later. By default, the CICP1300NETBD2 network adapter defaults to DHCP. Upon searching and
discovering the CICP1300NETBD2, you must program in a static IP address that will never change. Please
contact the Network Administrator for the network information.
Prerequisites
•A functional CA4K System (version 1.1.64 or later).
•DHCP enabled Router
•Mac Address of the CICP1300NETBD2 Ethernet Network Adapter
•Universe Finder (NLM Configuration) utility Version 1.5.0.1 or later
•Ethernet Network Adapter Firmware version 17.7.7 or later

Getting Started
1. Install the optional CICP1300NETBD2 on Super Two controller main board (refer to WI2545LF).
2. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the CICP1300NETBD2 network adapter to a DHCP enabled router (refer
to figure 1).
3. Power up the Super Two controller. The CICP1300NETBD2 will default to DHCP mode, and will request
and obtain an IP address from an available DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not found, an APIPA address
should be assigned to the CICP1300NETBD2. An APIPA IP address is in the range of 169.254.x.x.
Configuring the CICP1300NETBD2
1. Launch the CardAccess.UniverseFinder.exe version 1.5.0.1 or later utility to discover the
CICP1300NETBD2.
2. Upon launching the utility, the IP Search screen will display.
3. On this screen, select Controllers and click Discover (refer to Figure 2).
4. Upon clicking the Discover button, the middle of the screen will display the devices found. Each device will
display the Mac Address and IP Address of the devices found (refer to Figure 3).
Note: The status bar will also display the number of devices found (n device(s) found).
Figure 2.

5), with a DHCP IP address displaying.
Figure 5.
View the Selected NLM information
8. On the NLM Configuration Setup page, view the Selected NLM information. The MAC Address should
match the MAC address on the CICP1300NETBD2 you are trying to discover (refer to Figure 6). The IP
address should match the Device IP address on the NLM Configuration page.
Figure 6.

Logging into the CICP1300NETBD2
9. To communicate with the CICP1300NETBD2, you must log into the device (refer to Figure 7). By default,
the default log In credentials will populate. The default log in credentials are User = admin and Password=
admin. If you wish to change the default credentials, refer to step 10.
Figure 7.
10. To change the User Name and Password in the device, enter the new User Name and Password and click
Write Config button (refer to Figure 8).
Note: The next time you log in to communicate to the device as per Figure 7, you must use the new
credentials.
Figure 8.
Download NLM Firmware
11. Verify a Firmware Version is displaying (refer to Figure 9.) If the firmware is not displaying or up to
date, refer to step 12 (refer to Figure 11) to download NLM Firmware. To determine the latest available
Firmware version for the CICP1300NETBD2, refer to the CA4K Readme.txt and also look in the
Firmware folder as per Figure 11.
Figure 9.
12. Navigate to the CardAccess4K Firmware folder and select the latest CICP1300NETBD2 firmware file. Click
Open (refer to Figure 10).
Note: The firmware version for the CICP1300NETBD2 should be 17.7.7 or later.

Very Important: If the data in the text box is RED, this represents an ERROR. Please read the text
carefully to determine what went wrong.
Figure 14.
View the Device IP Address information
19. By default, the CICP1300NETBD2 will default to DHCP. The Device IP Address will be provided by DHCP
(refer to Figure 15). If it displays DHCP, you must change it to Static and program in a Static IP Address.
VERY IMPORTANT: The IP Address of the device must never change. Please contact the Network
Administrator for the static IP information.

21. Type in the Static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
22. Upon entering the Static IP information, click Write Config button.
Note: For our demonstration, we will use the same IP address of 192.168.1.221 and set it to STATIC
(refer to Figure 16). Again, please contact the Network Administrator to get a static IP address.

Programming Baud rate, Port number, Operation Mode
and AES setting
23. Select a Baud Rate. The default is 38.4K.
24. Change Server Port number. The default is 3001.
25. The Operation mode will be Legacy for CICP1300NETBD2 ethernet boards.
26. AES Encryption Type. The default is NONE.
27. Upon entering the Baud Rate, Server Port number and AES Encryption Type, click Write Config button.

28. The Cloud Settings are for Continental Hosting (refer to Figure 18). Leave the settings at the default settings.
These settings will be used at a later date.
Figure 18.
29. The Lockdown Settings are for the Peer-to-Peer Lockdown feature. The steps to configure this are explained
in the WI2544LF document. If the Peer-to-Peer lockdown feature is not going to be used, skip to step 30. To
configure the Peer-to-Peer Lockdown feature, click Change (refer to Figure 19).
Figure 19.
30. Upon clicking Change, the Lockdown Settings configuration screen will display. This only needs to be
populated if you are using the Peer-to-Peer Lockdown feature. Refer to WI2544LF for complete details on
configuring the Lockdown settings (refer to Figure 20).

APPENDIX A
Reset IP Address and ethernet settings and default back
to DHCP (JP4).
Note: Refer to WI2545 and WI1265CLF for additional instructions on resetting the ethernet settings using
the JP4 jumper.
1. If the Universe Finder utility fails to find the CICP1300NETBD2, there might be an
incorrect IP address programmed into the Ethernet Network adaptor, that is on a different
subnet. To clear any previously programmed IP address information, you must move the
JP4 jumper from pins 1 and 2, to pins 2 and 3. After the jumper is on pins 2 and 3, cycle the
power to the Super Two controller. This will default the network adapter back to the default
DHCP mode. After the Super Two controller powers up, wait 5 seconds and then move the
JP4 jumper back to pins 1 and 2.

14
APPENDIX B
Set Log In credentials back to default (JP5).
Note: Refer to WI2545LF and WI1265CLF for additional instructions on defaulting the log in credentials
for the Universe Finder utility, using the JP5 jumper.
1. To default the Log In credentials back to the default credentials, you must move the JP5
jumper from pins 1 and 2, to pins 2 and 3. After the jumper is on pins 2 and 3, cycle the
power to the Super Two controller. This will default the log in credentials back to “admin”
and “admin”. After the Super Two controller powers up, wait 5 seconds and then move the
JP5 jumper back to pins 1 and 2.
