The unit is to be powered by a Class 2 power source, of a grounded­type, when power is applied to the barrel connector.

L’unité doit être alimentée par une source d’alimentation de classe 2, de
type mise à la terre, lorsque le connecteur du canon est alimenté.

THE POWER CABLE MUST HAVE A MINIMUM RATING OF 80 °C.

LE CÂBLE D’ALIMENTATION DOIT AVOIR UNE INDICATION
MINIMALE DE 80 °C.

Power cannot be applied to both the terminal block and barrel
connectors simultaneously.

L’alimentation ne peut pas être appliquée simultanément aux
connecteurs du bornier et du barillet.

The use of coaxial cable for the eld wiring shall be in accordance with

Class 2/Class 3 requirements in Article 725 of the NEC.

L’utilisation d’un câble coaxial pour le câblage sur site doit être conforme

Unpack the serial server from the shipping container.
Verify that all included items are present:

• Vlinx™ VESR4x4 serial server module

• CD with Vlinx Manager software and user
manual

• (2) panel mount adapters and (4) mounting
screws

• DIN rail mount adapter and (3) mounting
screws.

• This quick start guide

General Setup

• Enter a name for the serial server. This name will
show up in the serial server list in Vlinx Manager.

• Change the login password, if desired.

Enter The Network Settings

• The serial server is congured at the factory to get
an IP address automatically (DHCP). If a DHCP
server is not available on your network, it will default
to 169.254.102.39.

• If a static IP is desired, uncheck the box, “I want
DHCP to setup the network”. Enter the static IP,
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information.

Setup the Serial Port Communications

• For each serial port on the device, select the
communications mode: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
(2-wire), RS-485 (4-wire) .

• Select the communications parameters (Baud Rate,
Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity and Flow Control) for
your serial device.

Setup the Serial Port Network Protocol

• Select the type of network protocol you want to use
for each port: TCP, UDP, VCOM or Paired Mode.

• TCP: select whether the serial server will operate

as a Client or Server, then congure the required

IP address, port numbers and other related
parameters.

• UDP: congure the IP addresses, ports and other

related parameters for the devices that you want to
receive data from and send data to.

• VCOM: congure the serial port to act as a virtual

COM port on the PC. You must also add the VCOM
driver to the PC using the “Add” button in Vlinx
Manager.

• Paired Mode: congure the serial server to be
paired with another serial server. Congure it as

either the client or the server in the pair and set up
the IP address, port numbers, etc.

• Set up Advanced Parameters, as necessar y, for
your application. Click on the “Advanced” button
to set up serial and network timers and packet
delimiters.

Save your conguration to the serial server

• The device will re-boot after saving the settings.

• Set up serial server as a TCP Server on serial
port 1.

• Set serial port to RS-232 on serial port 1.

• Set to 9600 8 -N-1 on serial port 1.

• Loopback serial por t 1 by connecting TD to
RD.

• Open a command window and type “telnet
x.x.x.xyyyy” where x.x.x.x is the IP address of
the serial server and yyyy is the port number
of the serial port.

• Type characters on the keyboard. The
characters should appear in the window. If not,
double check your settings.

• Mount the serial server using panel or DIN rail
mount adapters.

• Connect a 10 to 58 VDC power supply (6.0 W
required).

• Connect to the network, using a standard
Ethernet cable.

• Connect the serial device, using the appropri­ate cable for your model:

DCE device, null modem for DTE device.

• RS-232/422/485 with terminal blocks.

Install Vlinx Manager:

• Insert the Vlinx manager software CD into the
computer. The install program should auto­matically run.

• Follow the prompts to install the software.
