1 Overview & Features
The MegaNETIMPRESS/C”arNETIMPRESS/NETIMPRESS next (hereafter called as
“NETIMPRESS”) is the in-circuit programmer that can perform high-speed on-board
programming of an microcomputer with built-in flash ROM or flash ROM connected to
external bus of a microcomputer.
The NETIMPRESS can support programming various devices by inserting the compact
module (hereafter called as “Control Module”), which contains programming firm data for
each microcomputer, into the programmer main unit.
The Control Module uses the Compact Flash (CF) card as its media.
You can add a target device to program by adding programming conditions to the Control
Module in a form of a license.
The NETIMPRESS can be also used as a stand-alone since programming conditions are
saved in the Control Module.
Also, you can control the programmer very flexibly from a PC, as it has the 100Base-Tx
interface. You can build up an automatically-controlled production line system by using the
Remote Package AZ491 that is available for an additional order.
AAA.YLC: License for Device A
BBB.YLC: License for Device B

2 Notes & Points
The Control Module is specifically designed and built for the NETIMPRESS programmer and
cannot be used for any other purposes. (A CF card commercially available cannot be used
as the Control Module.)
About this manual
This Startup Manual describes only the initial setup procedures required to perform
programming.
For detailed specifications of the NETIMPRESS main unit, Control Module, probe, software,
etc., see their relevant manuals.
This Startup Manual explains how to install the software, set up an IP address in the
NETIMPRESS main unit, add a license to the Control Module and file operation steps. This
Startup Manual describes the processes up to the step to control the programmer from a PC.
For the information on how to set up environments of each device and connection
information, which vary depending on each device, see the manual of the relevant manual of
the Control Module or probe.
Note:
The Control Module (CF card) is not added with the license when delivered. Be sure to add
the license (extension: YLC), which is provided in CD-ROM.
PC Requirements
The NETIMPRESS runs only on a Windows PC (Windows XP, and Windows7).
An Ethernet cable (10BASE-T, and 100BASE-TX) to connect the programmer and a PC is
a user-prepared item. (When you make one-to-one connection without using a hub, you
need a cross cable.)
The reader for the CF card (USB connection, for example) at the side of a PC is a
user-prepared item.
