CIM-LINK Setup Guide
CIM-LINK modules, sold in sets of two, are used to establish ACU to ACU communication
between two or more communication loops over an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network for global
functions, such as global anti-pass back, global time zones, or global inputs and outputs.
This guide outlines how to connect the CIM-LINK modules and program the NETCOM2P
with the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility. CIM-LINK modules only communicate over
a network (TCP/IP) using a NETCOM2P.
Before You Start
Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below.
Keyscan recommends reviewing this document and pre-planning where and how the
CIM-LINK modules are connected to create global communication within the access
control communication structure.
The NETCOM2Ps included with the CIM-LINK modules must be programmed with
static IP addresses, subnet masks, and, if applicable, gateways and Ethernet
connection types which you may have to obtain from the IT administrator
Ensure that the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility, which is required for
programming the NETCOM2P and is located on the Keyscan Drivers and Utilities CD, is
installed on a PC or laptop that can be serially connected to the CIM-LINK/NETCOM2P
as outlined in the Program NETCOM2P section
Space is provided on a worksheet at the back of this setup guide for recording all
CIM-LINK jumper settings at all applicable access control units

Pre-Installation
Keyscan suggests that you review the following material to ensure that you have the
required firmware and software versions that support the CIM-LINK modules.
CIM-LINK Requirements
The CIM-LINK module requires the following control board firmware and software versions:
Hardware - Aurora
EPROM version 9.20 or higher –door control units
EPROM version 9.20 or higher –elevator control units
Multiple ACU communication loop requires CIM-based communication configured for
ACU to ACU communication on CAN Bus 2
Software
Aurora version 1.0.1.0 or higher
NETCOM Program Tool Utility –version 6.0.13 or later
Note
For global outputs, Keyscan recommends using the global OCB-8 option. This requires the
purchase of an optional OCB-8 which connects to the control board’s Control 5 header.
Global outputs are not supported on CA200 or CA250 door control units and EC1000,
EC2000, EC1500, or EC2500 elevator control units.
Multiple Building Communication on a WAN
Keyscan requires a point-to-point private network where NETCOMs are used on a LAN/WAN
(TCP/IP) that integrates building to building communication.
Supplementary Documentation
You may also require the following Keyscan documentation which can be located on the
Keyscan Documents CD:

CIM-LINK Configuration
When using CIM-LINK modules, one communication loop must be configured as the master
communication loop and all others as subordinate communication loops. When
interconnecting two or more communication loops, install each pair of CIM-LINK modules
as follows:
Install a CIM-LINK module on the master communication loop
Install a CIM-LINK module on the subordinate communication loop

When integrating multiple communication loops, remember, one set of CIM-LINK modules
is required per the number of subordinate communication loops integrated with the master
loop. The example above shows two subordinate loops, which requires two sets of CIM-
LINK modules.
CIM-LINK modules are extremely flexible in structuring global functions across multiple
communication loops as indicated below:
A group of CIM/access control units on a CAN Bus to another group of CIM/access
control units on a CAN Bus –see Figure 3
A group of CIM/access control units (master) on a CAN Bus to a single access control
unit (subordinate) –see Figure 3
A single access control unit (master) to a group of CIM/access control units
(subordinate) on a CAN Bus –see Figure 4
A single access control unit to a single access control unit –see Figure 5
The following three block diagrams depict multiple communication loop models based on
how the CIM-LINK may be configured for global communication. Refer to the illustrations
that best approximate your particular ACU communication infrastructure. Each block
diagram lists corresponding connection diagrams to assist with your installation of the CIM-
LINK modules.

CIM-LINK Jumper Settings & Power
The CIM-LINK module interlinks multiple communication loops for global communication
using either CAN Bus 2 on multiple ACU communication loops or a direct network
connection on a single ACU communication loop. When connecting CIM-LINK modules,
ensure the units are configured with the correct jumper settings as outlined.
Master & Subordinate Communication Loops
When integrating CIM-LINK modules, establish one communication loop as a global master
communication loop and set all other communication loops as subordinate communication
loops. Refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4.
Master Communication Loop
Set one CIM or one CIM-LINK as the global master –jumper J3 ON
Important
A CIM-LINK can only be designated as a global master on a single ACU communication loop
and would be restricted to one subordinate communication loop.
Subordinate Communication Loop
Configure all other communication loops as subordinate in one of the following modes:
On a communication loop with multiple ACUs, set the CIM-LINK module as a group
master –jumper J3 ON
On a communication loop with a single ACU, set the CIM-LINK module as a global
slave –jumper J3 OFF
When the CIM-LINK is set as a group master with jumper J3 ON, it enables checking CIM
unit heartbeats on the communication loop.
Ensure that only one CIM or CIM-LINK is set as a global master for the entire network of
communication loops/ACUs.
Single ACU Mode / Group ACU Mode
The CIM-LINK module must be set for single ACU mode or group ACU mode.
When connected on a single ACU communication loop, set to single ACU mode –J4
ON
When connected on a multiple ACU communication loop, set to group ACU mode –J4
OFF
Termination Jumpers J5—J8
The CIM-LINK has termination jumpers J5 to J8 when the module is located at the
beginning or the end of the CAN Bus. Observe the following termination jumper settings.
CAN Bus 1 –J5 & J6 –do not apply to the CIM-LINK module, leave OFF (terminate
first and last CIM modules on CAN Bus 1)
CAN Bus 2 –J7 & J8 –if the CIM-LINK module is the first or last unit, terminate with
jumpers ON; otherwise leave jumpers OFF
Power
The method of powering the CIM-LINK module with the NETCOM2P depends on the type of
communication loop they are connected on.
Single ACU communication loop - the CIM-LINK/NETCOM2P are powered via the
ribbon cable connection from HDR1 to H2 on the control board
Multiple ACU communication loop - the CIM-LINK is powered via a connection from
the 12V terminal to a 12VDC power supply

Note on Global Message Filtering
Jumpers J9 –J10 –J11 shorted in various combinations on the CIM-LINK module filter
global messages as outlined in the table. Note the following global message filtering
conventions:
Filter messages in both directions –short the designated jumpers on the CIM-LINK
modules on the master and subordinate communication loops
Filter messages in one direction –short the designated jumpers on the CIM-LINK
module where the message originates
Example of Global Message Filtering
As an example, to block global time zone message transmissions from a subordinate
communication loop to a master communication loop but allow global time zone message
transmissions from the global master communication loop to the subordinate
communication loop, jumper J10 would be shorted on the CIM-LINK module located on the
subordinate communication loop.
Global message filtering should be used with caution.

Program NETCOM2P
Each NETCOM2P must be programmed with the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility
which is on the enclosed CD. You require a static IP address, Subnet Mask and, if
applicable, a Gateway and Ethernet Connection Type for each NETCOM2P.
Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool Utility
You will require a PC or laptop that has a direct serial connection to the CIM-
LINK/NETCOM2P to program the device. To install the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool
utility, load the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The utility is set for auto-start. Follow the on-
screen prompts.
Note
As an option, the NETCOMP can be programmed off-site before installation providing you
have a 12 VDC power supply that can be connected to the CIM-LINK’s TB4 power terminal.
See Figure 7 or Figure 9 for connections.
Temporary Programming Connections
Review Figure 7 to Figure 10 for establishing a connection with the serial data cable and/or
with the USB-SER adaptor from the PC/laptop to the NETCOM2P. Please note this is a
temporary connection. Be sure to disconnect the cable after the programming procedure is
completed.
Programming instructions follow the diagrams.
About the Reset Function
During the NETCOM2P programming procedures, you are prompted to reset the device,
which is a soft re-boot. This is equivalent to a power cycle.

12. From the Program via IP Address or Serial Port, select the serial port on the PC/laptop
connected to the CIM-LINK module.
13. Under Communication Baud Rate, select 38,400 from the drop down list.
14. Leave Ethernet Connection Type set on Automatic Negotiation unless the IT
administrator provides 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.
15. Click on the Program NETCOM button.
16. The NETCOM Program Settings screen indicates it is waiting for a NETCOM reset or
power cycle. Momentarily short the Reset jumper on the NETCOM2P and follow the
on-screen prompts.
17. If the PC/laptop and the CIM-LINK/NETCOM2P are connected to the network, you can
PING the device to verify a network connection. Select Start PING and wait for the
PING Status Result message –IP Success.
If you receive a Timed Out result, check the settings and connections.
18. Close the NETCOM program.
19. Disconnect the serial cable or USB-SER adaptor from the CIM-LINK's terminal block
COM2 (TB3) and the PC or laptop.
20. Remove the jumper from J12 on the CIM-LINK module.
21. Place a jumper momentarily on J1 RESET on the CIM-LINK module.
