iv Preface

Welcome

The SmartServer is a low-cost, high-performance controller, network manager, router, remote network
interface, and Web server th at you can use to connect L
corporate IP networks or the Internet.

ONWORKS , Modbus, and M-Bus devices to

You can connect the SmartServer to a L
on the hardware and a high-voltage 100/240V AC mains connection. You can connect the SmartServer
to a PL-20 L
also connect a special PL-20 model of the SmartServer that has an external coupling circuit to a
single-phase or three-phase external coupler.

The SmartServer hardware includes a RS-232 port for connecting external GSM modems, M-Bus and
Modbus devices, and other device types, and a RS-485 port for connecting Modbus devices and other
device types. In addition, the SmartServer has two digital inputs, two digital outputs, and two pulse
meter inputs for connecting electric, gas, and water meters.

Once you have wired all the connections for the SmartServer, you can connect the SmartServer to
TCP/IP networks using its RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port. You can also connect models of the
SmartServer that have built-in 56K V.90 analog modems to TCP/IP networks using their RJ-11
telephone line ports and a dial-out connection.

Optionally, you can connect the RS-232 console port on the SmartServer to a computer running a
terminal emulation program such as Windows HyperTerminal. This enables you to configure the
SmartServer using its console application. Note that you should configure the SmartServ er with its
built-in Web pages whenever possible.

Purpose

This document describes how to assemble, mount, and wire the SmartServer hardware. It also
describes the service buttons and LEDs on the SmartServer hardware.

Audience

This guide is intended for Echelon’s customers, OEMs, system designers, and integrators with an
understanding of control networks.

Models

There are 13 models of the SmartServer available for use on TP/FT-10 free topology and PL-20 power
line channels. This includes the following:

• Eight high-voltage TP/FT-10 models that include none to all of the following options: IP-852
routing, programmability, and modem.

• Four PL-20 models that include none to all of the following options: IP-852 routing and
programmability.

• One PL-20 model that includes an external coupling circuit. The external coupling circuit enables
the PL-20 model to communicate over virtually any AC or DC power mains.
