Program On-board Ethernet
Module
The CA8WL-AL has an on-board Ethernet module – serial to Ethernet converter – which must be programmed
using the Keyscan NETCOM Program Utility when the CA8WL-AL is used on a network (TCP/IP).
If you are configuring the CA8WL-AL for reverse network communication use the procedures outlined in the
next section – Configure CA8WL-AL for Reverse Network Communication.
NETCOM Program Utility
The CA8WL-AL 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 CA8WL-AL Rev. B control board is distinguished by DIP switches which are not on previous
CA8WL-AL control boards.
Before You Start Programming
Before you start programming the CA8WL-AL’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 CA8WL-AL
Obtained an IP address, subnet mask, and, if required, a gateway from an IT administrator or authorized
source
Know the CA8WL-AL’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 CA8WL-AL’s RS-232 terminal
for programming the on-board Ethernet module
Keyscan recommends that you perform the restore default settings procedures on page 18 before
programming the CA8WL-AL’s Ethernet module.
Installing the NETCOM Program Utility
The NETCOM Program Utility is a Keyscan application that programs the CA8WL-AL’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 CA8WL-AL’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 CA8WL-
AL on-board Ethernet module.
Program the CA8WL-AL On-board Ethernet Module
1. Ensure that the CA8WL-AL has power either from a PoE source or a +12V DC power supply.
