Embedded Programming IP Address
The NETCOM2 Rev. B has three (3) embedded programming addresses. You select one of
these addresses by setting the DIP switches S2.4 and S2.5 as outlined in Table 2. These
addresses act as a temporary IP to connect the NETCOM2 Rev. B with a server/laptop that
has the Keyscan NETCOM Utility. The NETCOM2 Rev. B and the server/laptop must be on a
local network for programming. The NETCOM2 Rev. B is not programmable via routers.
You must select an embedded programming IP address that matches the first three octets
used by your network. Octets are the series of numbers separated by a period (.).
Example of first three octets in an IP address - 192.168.100.
If you do not use matching octets you will not be able to communicate with the NETCOM2
Rev. B.
