remove the jumper, and wait while the NETCOM is programmed.
If the NETCOM6P 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

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 NETCOM6P’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 28.
