Keyscan CIM-LINK User Manual

CIM-LINK Setup Guide
CIM-LINK modules, sold in sets of two, are used to establish ACU to ACU communication
between two or more communication loops over an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network for global
functions, such as global anti-pass back, global time zones, or global inputs and outputs.
This guide outlines how to connect the CIM-LINK modules and program the NETCOM2P
with the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility. CIM-LINK modules only communicate over
a network (TCP/IP) using a NETCOM2P.
Before You Start
 Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below.
 Keyscan recommends reviewing this document and pre-planning where and how the
CIM-LINK modules are connected to create global communication within the access
control communication structure.
 The NETCOM2Ps included with the CIM-LINK modules must be programmed with
static IP addresses, subnet masks, and, if applicable, gateways and Ethernet
connection types which you may have to obtain from the IT administrator
 Ensure that the Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility, which is required for
programming the NETCOM2P and is located on the Keyscan Drivers and Utilities CD, is
installed on a PC or laptop that can be serially connected to the CIM-LINK/NETCOM2P
as outlined in the Program NETCOM2P section
 Space is provided on a worksheet at the back of this setup guide for recording all
CIM-LINK jumper settings at all applicable access control units
