FCC WARNING

Class A for Ethernet Serial Server (Model SE5404 series)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expenses.

A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and also to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord can be used.

Use only shielded cables to connect the device’s ’ RS-232 or RS-485 port. Be cautioned that changes or modifications not explicitly approved by ATOP Technologies could void your

authority to operate the equipment.

User manual Version 1.2 ABLELink

1. I

Many industrial and Commercial devices equipped with slow serial communication ports—RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422—are limited in their transmission distance of 15 m. Examples of these devices are PLC controllers, card readers, display signs, security controls, CNC controller, etc. ATOP Technologies has

overcome the limit with a family of SE5404 Series Ethernet Serial Servers. The SE5404 sever family is designed to transmit data between one-or-more serial device and one-or-more TCP/IP device through Ethernet, and hence enhance the accessibility of the serial device through the ubiquitous TCP/IP based Ethernet.

Of the SE series, the SE5404 is for RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 without isolation protection built-in, while the SE5404-S5is is for RS-422 and RS-485 devices built-in isolation protection.

1.2 Modes of Operation

The SE5404 Series can be operated in one of the following 3 modes:

TCP Server Mode：SE5404 can be configured in a TCP server mode on an Ethernet Network to wait

for the host computer to establish a connection with the serial device ( the client). After the connection is established, dat a can flow in both directio ns (Figure 1.1).

Ethernet Serial Server SE5404

Figure 1.1 TCP Server Mode

TCP Client Mode：SE5404 can be configured in a TCP client mode on a TCP/IP Network to actively

establish a connection with an applications server –the host computer. After the connection is established, data can flow in both directions (Figure 1.2).

Ethernet Serial Server SE5404

UDP Mode：UDP is a fast but non-guaranteed datagram delivery protocol. SE5404 can be configured in

a UDP mode on a TCP/IP Network to establish a connection, using

unicast data to and from a serial device to one or multiple host computers (Figure 1.3).

Example：Enter” 9” from “Delimiter(Serial to Network)” of COM1, by default COM port serial data buffer is disabled meaning that when TCP/IP Ethernet connection is broken, serial data collected from serial device

won’t be emptied on SE5404 once TCP/IP connection is resumed, the serial data will be sent through Ethernet connection, one may enable it if one wish( Figure 3.15)

1. Enter “0” on “Set Delimiter (Serial to Network)” to disable Serial to Network data buffer

2. Enter “1” on “Set Delimiter (Serial to Network)” to set packet delimiter timer

3. Enter “2” on “Set Delimiter (Serial to Network)” to set char acter pattern terminator

One may also Enter “8” from “Delimiter (Network to Serial)” to enable or disable Network to Serial data buffer

NOTE：

3.2.9 Setting packet delimiter

Packet delimiter is a way of controlling the number of packets in a serial communication. It is designed to keep packets intack. SE5404 provides two ways in parameter setting: 1 “Packet delimiter timer” and 2 “Character pattern terminator”. By default, packet delimiter timer is 1 ms. The range of packet delimiter timer is from 0 to 30,000 mSec, as shown in Figure 3.16.

1.For Packet delimiter timer setting：

Figure 3.16 Setting packet delimiter timer-Packet delimiter timer

2. For Character pattern terminator setting：

One may also choose character pattern as the packet delimiter indicated in Figure 3.17. If “character pattern” is selected, for a data stream ended with “0x0d0a”, then the entire data buffer of the serial device is transmitted.

NOTE：The characters are case sensitive, make sure to use lower case.

5.1 SNMP Network Management Platform

SE5404 is an SNMP device that allows many popular SNMP Network management platforms such as HP OpenView and SunNet Manager, to conduct monitoring on the dev ice.

Depending on the network management tools used, SE5404 information can be collected from running the management tools, including IP address, DNS name, system descriptions and NIC information.

5.2 Using NetworkView: An Example

NetworkView is a free compact network management tool from NetworkView Software, Inc. (

www.networkview.com). It discovers all TCP/IP nodes in a network using DNS, SNMP and ports information

and documents with printed maps and repo rts for future use. First, download and install the tool on ones PC (Windows NT and Windows 9x only), then start

Before writing ones own host applications or programs to interact with SE5404, make sure one have done the following.

RITING ONES OWN APPLICATIONS

6.1 Preparing System

1. Connect SE5404 to power , Ethernet and serial cables

2. Configure SE5404: connection type, IP address, gateway IP address, and network mask (see chapter 3 Hardware Installation).

3. Configure SE5404 as TCP Server, using the default TCP port number 4660.

4. The host (PC) application program must be configured as a TCP client and connected to SE5404 with designated TCP port num ber 4660 for COM1.

5. Check SE5404 running status through monitor.exe configuration utility.

6.2 Running Sample Program

Sample programs written in VB and VC++ included in the package are provided for your reference; their source codes are also included. Test program can be found on the product CD in the directory of \sample\vb_ap\ and \sample\vc_ap respectively .

Two test prog rams, TCPTEST in Visual Basic and TCPTEST2 in Visual C++ are included.

6.2.1 TCPTEST in Visual Basic

This sample program (Figure 6.1), written in Visual Basic 5.0 with Winsock Controls, shows how to exchange data between host (PC) and SE5404 via Ethernet in two socket ports.

One may start the sample program tcptest.vbp to test different functions. For more information, please press

Figure 6.2 TCP test sample program in Visual C

The command tcptest2 10.0.50.100 4660 connects a TCP server of IP address 10.0.50.100 to port number

4660. The received data is displayed on the screen and the input data is sent to the TCP server. Binary data

in hex format with a leading character “\” can also be sent. For example, “\00” and “\FF” represent ASCII code 0 and 255, respectively.

A modem can also be used to connect to the serial server. Command "AT\Od" sends standard AT command to the modem which in return responds with "OK\0D\0A" message to the host application.

Always use '=' then Enter key to exit the program.
