NETCOM2 - Rev. B Installation Guide
This guide outlines how to install and program the NETCOM2 Rev. B. The NETCOM2 Rev. B
is a serial to Ethernet converter that utilizes an embedded TCP/IP device server and
requires an assigned static IP address as noted below under Before You Start. The
NETCOM2 Rev. B mounts inside the ACU/ECU enclosure. For mounting locations within the
ACU enclosure, refer to the 11 x 17 sheet that accompanied the control board or the
Technical Guide on the Keyscan Product Documentation Library CD.
New - Network Programming / Selectable DIP Switches
The NETCOM2 Rev. B is a redesigned version of the NETCOM2. You can now program the
NETCOM2 Rev. B using a local network connection from a server/laptop which has the
Keyscan NETCOM Utility installed.
In conjunction with its network programming capability, the NETCOM2 Rev. B has DIP
switches for setting one of the embedded programming IP addresses and selecting the bit
rate that matches the control boards on the communication loop. The DIP switches (S2)
are reviewed on page 5.
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 NETCOM2 Rev. B. Space for recording addresses is
provided at the back
You may require the assistance of the network administrator for programming the
NETCOM2 Rev. B
Ensure that you install the latest Keyscan NETCOM Utility, which is on the enclosed
CD, on a server/laptop that has a local network connection to the NETCOM2 Rev. B
