Description
Keyscan® NETCOM2P TCP/IP Communication Adapter
The Keyscan® NETCOM2P TCP/IP Communication Adapter is a powerful networking solution designed to bring reliable Ethernet connectivity to Keyscan access control systems. By enabling real-time TCP/IP communication between Keyscan controllers and management software, the NETCOM2P eliminates the limitations of legacy serial connections and allows organizations to deploy scalable, network-based access control architectures across a single facility or multiple locations.
Engineered for both new installations and retrofit applications, the NETCOM2P provides fast event reporting, responsive system management, and efficient communication between Keyscan control panels and administration software. Its compact design installs directly on compatible Keyscan control boards, simplifying deployment while reducing installation costs and infrastructure requirements.
Ideal for commercial offices, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, government buildings, industrial sites, and enterprise environments, the NETCOM2P allows administrators to centrally manage access control systems over existing network infrastructure. By utilizing standard TCP/IP networking, organizations can improve system flexibility, simplify expansion projects, and support future growth without relying on dedicated serial communication paths.

Important Compatibility Note
The NETCOM2P is intended for standard TCP/IP communication applications and is not suitable for Centrally Managed Access Control (CMAC) deployments or applications requiring encrypted communications. For CMAC environments or high-security installations that require encrypted network communication, Keyscan recommends the NETCOM6P Encrypted TCP/IP Communication Module.
Why Upgrade to TCP/IP Networking?
Modern access control systems increasingly rely on network communications for centralized administration, event monitoring, and system scalability. The NETCOM2P allows organizations to leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure, reduce communication bottlenecks, simplify remote management, and expand their Keyscan access control system without the constraints of traditional serial communication methods.
Available Resources
For CMAC deployments or encrypted communication requirements, Keyscan recommends the NETCOM6P encrypted communication module.
