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 other devices to this equipment by RS-232 or RS-485 ports.
Be cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void ones authority to operate the equipment.
User Manual Version 1.6
SE5001 Serial Device Server
SE5001, the Ethernet Serial device server is a gateway between Ethernet (TCP/UDP) and
RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 communications. The information transmitted by SE5001 is transparent to both host
computers (Ethernet) and serial devices (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485). Data coming from the Ethernet is sent to the
designated RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 port and data received from RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 port is sent to the
Ethernet transparently allowing bidirectional communication.
In the computer-aided manufacturing or industrial automation areas, SE5001 is used by field devices to directly
connect to an Ethernet network. The user can then use a network application or use the Virtual COM software to
simulate a virtual com port in the PC to fetch serial data from SE5001 remotely over the Ethernet.
With SE5001, it is possible to communicate with a remote serial device in the LAN or even in the Internet, which
increases the communication distance and scalability dramatically.

1.3 Application Connectivity
TCP Server Mode:SE5001 can be configured as a TCP server in TCP/IP Network to listen for an incoming TCP
client connection to the serial device. After the connection is established between the serial device server and the
host computer, data can be transmitted in both directions. This also applies to Virtual COM running in the server
mode.
TCP Client Mode:SE5001 can be configured as a TCP client in TCP/IP Network to establish a connection with
a TCP server in the host computer. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted between serial
device and host computer in both directions. This also applies to Virtual COM running in the client mode.
Figure 1.1 TCP Server Mode
User Manual Version 1.6
SE5001 Serial Device Server
UDP Mode:UDP isa faster but connectionless network protocol. It does not guarantee the delivery of network
datagrams. SE5001 can be configured to transfer data using unicast or multicast UDP from the serial device to
one or multiple host computers. Data can be transmitted between serial device and host computer in both
directions.
Tunneling Mode:In the case that the serial device needs to communicate with each other without a host
computer, two SE5001s can be pair together (pair connection) to communicate over TCP or UDP transparently.

User Manual Version 1.6
SE5001 Serial Device Server
Disconnect the device from power source completely before installing and wiring
the server.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable current of the power cord and common
wire. Applying the wire over its specification would cause the wire to overheat and
cause serious damage to the connected and neighboring equipment.
The casing could become too hot to touch when operating in harsh environments.
Please handle with care.
2.1 Installation Procedure
Figure 2.2 SE5001 Interfaces (SE5001-S5is)
Step 1: Connect SE5001 to a power source using its 5VDC Jack or its 9-30V DC Terminal Block. Note that
the DC Jack is 5V only and should be used with a power adaptor.
Note:SE5001 provides two power inputs that can be connected simultaneously to different DC
power sources. If any of the power inputs fail, the other power source can act as a backup to
support the power needs automatically. The redundant dual DC power inputs give one extra
assurance of non-stop operation.
Step 2: Connect SE5001 to the Ethernet network. Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable when
connecting to a hub/switch. To simply the setup, a cross-over Ethernet cable can be used to connect
the serial device server to a PC directly. Please make sure that the PC is in the same network subnet
as SE5001.
Step 3: Connect SE5001’s serial port to a serial device.
Step 4: Placement options: Mount SE5001 to a wall/panel (Mounting screws included) or Din-Rail rack
(optional Din-Rail-Kit DK-25).

emptied. If this option is disabled, SE5001 will keep old serial data when the connection is broken (Figure 3.16).
3.2.12. Setting Packet Delimiter
Packet delimiter is a way of packaging serial data. It can prevent serial data from being truncated by packing them
in the same Ethernet packet. SE5001 provides two kinds of packet delimiter: Timer and Character. The default
timer is 2 ms (0ms to disable this function). This means that if SE5001 does not receive new serial data within 2ms,
it will send out all the serial data in buffer in one packet over Ethernet. The way to change the delimiter timer is
shown in the following figure (Figure 3.17):
Figure 3.17 Setting packet delimiter timer
Another kind is character delimiter. If the character delimiter is set to 0x0d, this means SE5001 will send out all the
serial data in buffer in one packet over Ethernet only if it reads 0x0d. The following figure shows how to configure
character delimiter:
