Steps to Install and Program the NETCOM6P ...cont'd
12. From the Program NETCOM6B, NETCOM6 & NETCOM6P screen, enter the IP address
assigned to the NETCOM6P. If using DHCP, enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP Address to Assign.
13. If a Subnet Mask is required, select it from the drop down list.
14. If the NETCOM6P requires a gateway to communicate on the network, enter the
gateway address in the default Gateway text box.
15. From the Program via IP Address or Serial Port, select the port on the PC/laptop with
the serial connection to the NETCOM6P via the control board's RS-232 communication
terminal.
16. Select the baud rate that corresponds to the control board communication J16 or S2
bit rate settings.
17. Leave Ethernet Connection Type set on Automatic Negotiation unless the IT
administrator gives 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.
18. The Discovery Port 77FE is disabled by default. Keyscan recommends that you leave it
on the default setting. This function is principally for troubleshooting communication
difficulties.
19. Click on a radio button that corresponds to the encryption bit setting of the host
location.
20. Enter the same encryption key that was entered at the host location.
