Pre-Installation
Keyscan suggests that you review the following material to ensure that you have the
required firmware and software versions that support the CIM-LINK modules.
CIM-LINK Requirements
The CIM-LINK module requires the following control board firmware and software versions:
Hardware - Aurora
 EPROM version 9.20 or higher – door control units
 EPROM version 9.20 or higher – elevator control units
 Multiple ACU communication loop requires CIM-based communication configured for
ACU to ACU communication on CAN Bus 2
Software
 Aurora version 1.0.1.0 or higher
 NETCOM Program Tool Utility – version 6.0.13 or later
Note
For global outputs, Keyscan recommends using the global OCB-8 option. This requires the
purchase of an optional OCB-8 which connects to the control board’s Control 5 header.
Global outputs are not supported on CA200 or CA250 door control units and EC1000,
EC2000, EC1500, or EC2500 elevator control units.
Multiple Building Communication on a WAN
Keyscan requires a point-to-point private network where NETCOMs are used on a LAN/WAN
(TCP/IP) that integrates building to building communication.
