NETCOM6P-Encrypted Installation Guide
This guide outlines how to install and program the NETCOM6P—serial to Ethernet
converter—for network communication. As the NETCOM6P can be configured to operate
with a CIM or directly from a PC109x or later control board, this guide is divided into the
following 2 separate installation sections:
NETCOM6P/CIM Installation—page 2
NETCOM6P/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 NETCOM6P involves 2 wiring 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 NETCOM6P. 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
NETCOM6P.
About the Reset Function
During the NETCOM6P programming procedures, you are prompted to reset the device,
which is a soft re-boot. This is equivalent to a power cycle.

11. From the Select NETCOM Device Type screen, click on the NETCOM6/6P button.
12. From the NETCOM Encrypted Program Settings screen, enter the IP address, the
Subnet Mask, and a Gateway (optional).
13. From Program via Port, select the port on the PC/laptop with the serial connection to
the control board’s RS-232 (COM4) terminal so the NETCOM6P can be programmed.
14. Select the baud rate that corresponds to the control board’s J16 or S2 communication
settings.
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 a radio button that corresponds to the encryption bit setting selected in the
Keyscan Settings program.
17. Enter the same encryption key specified in the Keyscan Settings program.
18. Click on the Program NETCOM button.
19. From the Program NETCOM Device via Serial Connection prompt “You must now
connect your serial cable from your computer’s port 1 to the NETCOM device and
power cycle the NETCOM device”, click on the OK button.

Remove the jumper from J16 –pin G. However, leave the jumper ON pin F. This
enables M1 for communication with the NETCOM6P.
Set S2 switch 8 to OFF, but leave S2 switch 7 ON so M1 is enabled for
communication with the NETCOM6P
25. Momentarily place a jumper ON J6 Reset or press the S1 switch on the control board.
26. At the PC/laptop, click on the OK button in the Disconnect the serial cable… screen.
27. If the PC/laptop has a network connection, verify network communication with the
NETCOM6P. Select the Start PING button on the Keyscan NETCOM Utility screen.
If the PC/laptop does not have a network connection, close the NETCOM Program
Tool utility, complete any remaining connections for permanent operation, re-
locate to a PC connected to the network and PING the NETCOM2’s IP address
using the Command Prompt. The Average Round Trip Times should be less than
100 milliseconds and the Packets Sent should equal the Packets Received with
0% loss. Continue at step 29.
28. Wait for the PING Status result message:
IP Success indicates the NETCOM6P has network communication
IP Timed Out indicates the NETCOM6P does not have network communication—
verify settings and connections
29. Click on the x in the upper right corner of the Keyscan NETCOM Utility screen to close
the application.
