NETCOM6P/ACU RN (Encrypted) Installation
Guide
Enclosed with the NETCOM6P are two sets of instructions for reverse network (RN)
communication:
For mounting a NETCOM6P directly on the ACU control board with reverse network
communication, follow the instructions contained in this installation guide
For mounting a NETCOM6P on a CIM circuit board with reverse network
communication, follow the NETCOM6P/CIM RN (Encrypted) Installation Guide also
enclosed with the NETCOM6P
If you require NETCOM6P instructions for a non-reverse network application, refer to the
Keyscan Product Documentation Library CD.
The NETCOM6P is only compatible with CIM modules or plugged directly into a PC109x or
higher control board’s M1 socket for reverse network communication.
Before commencing to install the NETCOM6P, be sure to review the Reverse Network
Overview.
Reverse Network Overview
Keyscan’s RN licenses—AUR-RN for Aurora, K-RN for System VII and V-RN for Vantage—
are designed so that a programmed access control unit at a remote location initiates
communication via an encrypted NETCOM6P over a private or public network to the
PC/server at a host location.
Installation Coordination –Host & Remote Locations
The RN license involves installing and configuring reverse network encrypted
communication software at a host location and installing hardware components at a remote
location. You must coordinate certain settings between the two locations in order that the
ACU/NETCOM6P at the remote location can establish network communication back to the
PC/server with the encrypted communication software at the host location.
the technician installing the hardware components must have a host-location IP
address that the ACU connects to on the network
both the host and remote locations must have the same encryption key
the host location requires the serial # of the designated reverse network control
board
a valid path and connectivity must exist from the PC/server with the encrypted
reverse network communication manager at the host location to the
NETCOM6P/reverse network control board at the remote location—may require a
network administrator
The hardware technician must program the access
control board with a host-location IP address along with
other settings. The IP address the technician programs
into the control board depends on the network
configuration. We have provided two general network
configuration outlines: an Internet/Intranet/WAN
configured network that is exposed publicly and a LAN
that is closed. Refer to the network configuration that
best approximates your network application.

Installation Procedures RN Reverse Network
If you are installing an encrypted NETCOM6P mounted directly on the control board—
PC109x or later—for a reverse network application with a Keyscan RN license, follow the
instructions in this guide for installation and programming. A NETCOM6P mounted directly
on the control board does not support multiple access control units on the same
communication bus.
Before You Start
Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below
Ensure that you have coordinated settings, including the encryption key, with the host
location as outlined in the preceding section
Have a PC109x or later control board
If the host location is operating with System VII or Vantage, the control board
requires firmware version 7.95/8.75 or higher
If the host location is operating with Keyscan Aurora software, the control board
requires firmware version 9.21/9.02 or higher
Obtain a static IP address, Subnet Mask, and, if applicable, a Gateway (for a
configuration similar to Figure 1) from the network administrator for each NETCOM6P
unless using a DHCP server. Space is provided to record the address settings at the
back
Ensure you install the latest Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility on the enclosed CD
on a laptop or PC that can be serially connected to program the NETCOM6P
Important
The NETCOM6P involves 2 connection procedures, temporary serial programming
connections and permanent operation connections. Refer to the appropriate connection
diagrams.
Ensure that you follow all the instructions beginning on page 5. Ensure that you program
the NETCOM6P and program the control board as instructed.
As networks can be highly complex structures with a labyrinth of routers, firewalls, and
switches, as well as layers of security protocols, you may be required to engage the
services of a network administrator to establish communication between the two locations.

Install Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool Utility
Each NETCOM6P that you are installing must be programmed with the NETCOM Program
Tool Utility software. Ensure you have the latest NETCOM Program Tool Utility software
installed which is on the enclosed CD, otherwise you may encounter communication
difficulties. You will require a PC or laptop that has a direct serial connection to the
NETCOM6P via the control board’s RS-232 (COM4) terminal to program the device. To
install the NETCOM Program Tool Utility software, load the Keyscan Utilities & Drivers CD in
the CD-ROM drive. The utility auto-starts. Follow the on-screen prompts.
About the Encryption Key
The encryption key for the NETCOM6P must consist of one of the following bit settings: 32
characters (128 bit), 48 characters (192 bit) or 64 characters (256 bit). Characters can be
as follows in any combination:
alpha A—F
numeric 0—9
example of 128 bit key —A91376F1 C3621FBC DD68917E 1006B167
The encryption key can be created at either the host location or the remote access control
location. But it must be entered exactly the same in the following two Keyscan software
utilities:
Application Utilities screen –Aurora Client (host location)
System Settings—Reverse Network utility –System VII/Vantage (host location)
NETCOM Program Tool utility (remote access control location)
When requested in the Steps to Program the NETCOM6P with Encryption procedures,
ensure that you enter the same encryption key that is used at the host location.
Program the NETCOM6P
The NETCOM6P involves making a temporary connection to program the device and then
making a permanent connection to operate the device as outlined:
See Figure 5 or Figure 6 for temporary serial programming connections to the
laptop/PC with the NETCOM Program Tool utility.
See Figure 7 for NETCOM2P/ACU permanent operating connections on the network.

Troubleshoot Communication Issues
If communication difficulties arise, review the check list below to eliminate some potential
installation errors. You may have to contact the host location and verify the necessary
software has been installed and configured.
Remote Location
Verify all jumpers on the control board are properly configured
Verify all wiring and terminal block connections are correct
Have you programmed the NETCOM device with the correct IP address, gateway if
required, and port settings
Have you programmed the NETCOM with the same encryption key that was specified
at the host location
Have you programmed the control board with the correct host-location IP address
If the remote location has a router or end-point device, verify inbound/outbound
communication with the correct port settings
Host Location
Has the Reverse Network license been registered
Is the host location running the encrypted reverse network communication manager
Has the host location entered the same encryption key in the Keyscan Settings utility
software
Does the host location have a valid network path from the PC/server with the
encrypted reverse network communication manager via any router/end points to the
NETCOM6P/control panel including the correct port settings for inbound and outbound
communication
Note
You may require the services of a network administrator to resolve network issues and
ensure the PC/server with the encrypted reverse network communication manager at the
host location has a valid path and connectivity to the NETCOM6P/control board at the
remote location.
