Keyscan NETCOM6P Installation Manual

NETCOM6P/CIM RN (Encrypted) Installation
Guide
Enclosed with the NETCOM6P are two sets of instructions for reverse network (RN)
communication:
 For mounting a NETCOM6P on a CIM circuit board with reverse network
communication, follow the instructions contained in this installation guide
 For mounting a NETCOM6P directly on a control board with reverse network
communication follow the NETCOM6P/ACU 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—NETCOM6P Installation Guide.
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 K-RN/V-RN Reverse
Network Overview section.
K-RN/V-RN 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.
