2 Introduction

2.1 Product Overview

Many industrial and Commercial devices equipped with slow serial communication ports—RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422—are limited by 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 this limit with our new family of SE5416A Series Serial Device Servers. SE5416A Series is designed to transmit data between one-or-more serial devices and one-or-more TCP/IP devices through Ethernet or the optional modem, and hence enhance the accessibility of the serial device through the ubiquitous TCP/IP based Ethernet.
10

2.2 Features

Dual 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet for redundancy with full duplex auto negotiation Support RAW TCP Server/ TCP Client / UDP / Virtual COM / Tunneling Modes Configuration: Built-in Web Server /Serial Console/ Telnet / Windows-based Utility Monitor, manage and control industrial field devices remotely
Caution
Beginning from here there will be extreme caution exercised.
Never install or work on electrical or cabling during periods of lighting activity. Never
connect or disconnect power when hazardous gases are present.
WARNING: Disconnect the power and allow to cool 5 minutes before touching.

5 Web Configuration

5.1 Administrator Login

As soon as the device is connected on the LAN, the user can proceed to navigate through its configuration using Serial Manager© (utility that comes in the CD); as noted in Figure 5.1 below, important information such as the IP, MAC address, etc. is going to be displayed.
To access the device’s Web UI click on the Config by browser icon, the web browser will open and prompt you to enter username and password (see Factory Default Settings for more information), proceed then to click “OK” or press Enter. Alternatively, enter the IP address of the device in the URL bar of the browser.
Note: Be sure your PC Is located in the same network sub-net as SE5416A Series.

5.3 Network Configuration

Figure 5.7
Click on the “Network” link to open network settings.
LAN / Bridge Settings, when the bridge function is enabled, LAN1 and LAN2 will use
the same IP address for redundancy. Therefore, LAN1 Settings will become Bridge Settings and LAN2 Settings will be disabled. When the bridge function is disabled, you can LAN1 and LAN2 can be in different subnets. Fill in Bridge / LAN settings accordingly. Alternatively, you may activate DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) client
function by checking on “Obtain an IP automatically” field to obtain IP address, gateway
and subnet mask, and DNS from a DHCP server automatically.
28
Figure 5.8
DNS Settings, Fill in DNS (Domain Name System) information in order to have an
external DNS server resolve domain name into IP address. This is crucial if the NTP and SMTP services use domain names instead of IP addresses. A DNS server will be retrieved from the DHCP server automatically if DHCP is enabled.
Figure 5.9
29
SNMP Settings, The SNMP function is disabled by default. To enable this function check
on “Enable SNMP” option. Basic SNMP configurations such as Read/Write Community,
SysName (System Name), SysLocation (System Location), and SysContact (System Contact) are supported. In addition, you can send SNMP Trap events to a SNMP Trap server by entering its IP address. The changes will become effective immediately after a successful save.
Figure 5.10
ERPS Settings, A typical ring topology provides multipoint connectivity economically, but
the network traffic will loop inside the ring without a proper protection mechanism. Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) is a protocol for Ethernet layer ring networks. ERPS provides highly reliable and stable protection in the ring topology while not forming network loops that could potentially affect the network operation. In a the Ring topology, each Ring Node is connected to an adjacent Ring Node participating in the same Ring using two independent links (i.e. two ways). Loops can be avoided by guaranteeing that traffic may flow on all but one of the ring links at any given time. This particular link is called Ring Protection Link (RPL). A control message called R-APS coordinates the activities of switching on/off the RPL. Under normal conditions, this link is blocked by the Owner Node, which is referred as the blocking state. In case of a network failure, the RPL Owner node will be responsible to unblock the RPL to allow it to be used for forwarding, hence called the protection state. Therefore, the RPL becomes the backup link when a link failure occurs. The following table describes the functions of different ERPS settings.
