Keyscan Inc. A Member of the Kaba Group – CA150 Rev. B Installation Guide (07.15)
Program On-board Ethernet
Module
The CA150 has an on-board Ethernet module – serial to Ethernet converter – which must be programmed
using the Keyscan NETCOM Program Utility when the CA150 is used on a network (TCP/IP).
If you are configuring the CA150 for reverse network communication use the procedures outlined in the next
section – Configure CA150 for Reverse Network Communication.
NETCOM Program Utility
The CA150 Rev. B control board requires NETCOM Program Utility – version 6.0.18 or higher. Always use the
latest NETCOM Program Utility on the enclosed Keyscan CD when programming the on-board Ethernet module.
The CA150 Rev. B control board is distinguished by DIP switches which are not on previous CA150 control
boards.
Before You Start Programming
Before you start programming the CA150’s on-board Ethernet module, ensure that you have the following
items:
Serial data cable with loose conductors (Keyscan p/n 40-2322)
Have the latest NETCOM Program Utility – version 6.0.18 or higher - contained on the enclosed Keyscan
Utilities & Drivers CD installed on a PC/laptop that can be serially connected to the CA150
Obtained an IP address, subnet mask, and, if required, a gateway from an IT administrator or authorized
source
Know the CA150’s baud rate setting – 57,600 BPS or 115,200 BPS
Know the PC/laptop’s COM port with the serial data cable connection to the CA150’s RS-232 terminal for
programming the on-board Ethernet module
Keyscan recommends that you perform the restore default settings procedures on page 49 before
programming the CA150’s Ethernet module.
Installing the NETCOM Program Utility
The NETCOM Program Utility is a Keyscan application that programs the CA150’s on-board Ethernet module
with an IP address and other settings. The utility must be installed on a PC or laptop that can be serially
connected to the CA150’s RS-232 communication terminal. If the PC or laptop only has USB ports, use
Keyscan’s optional USB-SER adaptor.
To install the NETCOM Program Utility, insert the Keyscan Utilities & Drivers CD in the PC/laptop CD or DVD
drive. The utility is programmed to auto-start when the disk is inserted in the disk drive. Follow the on-screen
prompts. Please remember the NETCOM Program Utility must be installed before you can program the CA150
on-board Ethernet module.
Program the CA150 On-board Ethernet Module
1. Ensure that the CA150 has power either from a PoE source or a +12V DC power supply.
