Installation Procedures for Reverse Network
For installing a NETCOM6P on a CIM circuit board for reverse network communication
follow all the instructions outlined in this guide.
Before You Start
Verify that you have all the parts as outlined below
Ensure that you have coordinated settings, including the encryption key, with the host
location as outlined on pages 1 to 3
Have a control board with firmware 7.95/8.75 on the control board programmed with
the host-location IP address for System VII or Vantage)
Have firmware 9.21/9.02 on all control boards for Aurora
Obtain a static IP address, Subnet Mask, and, if applicable, a Gateway (for a
configuration similar to Figure 1) from the network administrator for each NETCOM6P
unless using a DHCP server. Space is provided to record the address settings at the
back
Ensure you install the latest Keyscan NETCOM Program Tool utility on the enclosed CD
on a laptop or PC that can be serially connected to program the NETCOM6P
Have a copy of the CIM Installation Guide
Important
The NETCOM6P involves 2 procedures, temporary serial programming connections and
permanent operation connections. Refer to the appropriate connection diagrams.
Ensure that you follow all the instructions beginning on page 5. Ensure that you program
the NETCOM6P and program the control board as instructed.
As networks can be highly complex structures with a labyrinth of routers, firewalls, and
switches, as well as layers of security protocols, you may be required to engage the
services of a network administrator to establish communication between the two locations.
Please be aware that in addition to this document which pertains to the required setup at
the remote location, a sister document – K-RN Setup or V-RN Setup – is included with the
RN license and encrypted communication software at the host location.
