Product OverviewProduct Overview
SSE232-LE is a serial interface RS-232 / RS-485 to Ethernet converter and vice versa. It allows the access,
through Ethernet, to devices such as alarm panels, data acquisition, PLCs or any serial interface device.
The device is the interface between the serial communication device and the Ethernet network, acting as
a transparent converter.
SSE232-LE is then, a complete solution for Ethernet connectivity of devices with serial port (RS-232 / RS-
485).

SSE232-LE sends all the data received by its serial port to the established TCP or UDP connection
transparently. To optimize the use of the network it is usually expected to join several bytes in the serial
port before sending them to the network. For this you can use two criteria: Silence

4444 TYPICAL USES
4.1
4.1 Connection with Serial Port Redirector
4.14.1
When using the SSE232-LE to replace an RS
install a Serial Port Redirector on your computer. This software will create a virtual COM port on your
computer to use an existing software as if you were connected to the computer using a physical COM
port.
The redirector software currently recommended by Exemys for this application is the Serial / IP by Tactical
Software. To download a 30-day trial or purchase a license contact sales@exemys.com.
For this mode you must configure SSE232-LE in TCP server mode. In the redirector you must indicate the
IP address of the SSE232-LE and the port (usually the 10000 port).
If you use a serial port redirector with Telnet – RFC2217 support (For example Serial/IP), you can use the
automatic port parameters configuration feature. If you do it, the serial port redirector will configure the
SSE232-LE serial port (Baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits) automatically.
To test if the connection is correct you can press the button "Configuration Wizard"

In a point-to-point connection in Client-Server TCP, a permanent link is established between two SSE232.
Received data on a serial port will be output from the remote serial port and vice versa.
The configuration is simple, one SSE232-LE is configured as server and the other as client, indicating the
IP address of the first one.

In point-to-point connection in UDP Client-Client, once the link between two SSE232 is established, the
received data in a serial port will be sent by the remote serial port and vice versa. The operation is very
similar to the TCP serial tunnel.
You can also make a connection in UDP Client - Server, but this one presents a disadvantage. If the
SSE232 configured in server mode receives data on its serial port, before receiving data from the client
SSE232, the data will be lost because it will not know where to send the data. This happens because UDP
is a protocol that does not establish connections prior to the sending of data as if it happens in TCP.
The following figure shows a UDP Client-Client configuration.

This setting is used when you want to send data from a serial port to multiple destinations and all of
them remote points can respond to the central "point".
In this case the central SSE232 must be configured in UDP Broadcast Client mode and the other points in
client mode but indicating the IP address of the central SSE232. All of them must share the same Port and
Local Port number.

In this configuration, incoming data to any SSE232-LE serial port will output through all the serial ports of
the other SSE232s. That means its operation is like RS-485 network but using the Ethernet network as
transport.
Here all devices must be configured in UDP Broadcast Client mode with the same Port and Local Port
number.

SSE232-LE from Firmware version 3.2, provides a command console and monitoring via Ethernet. To
access it, a TCP connection must be made to the SSE232-LE, using port 999 for the connection.
Each command must end with the character CR (ASCII 13) and for each one it will receive a reply
confirming that the command has been executed was successful or not.
8.1
8.1 Supervision and control
8.18.1
For the supervision of a device connection and the control of the disconnection of them, the commands to
be used are STA and RST. STA command will let you know the status of a device TCP or UDP connectio,
showing '1' (Connected) or '0' (Disconnected) as response. RST command will let you to disconnect a
device established connection.

monitored port, the source and destination IP address of the data and the direction in which they flow,
with a "<" or ">" That indicate it. In case there is no TCP connection to the serial port, the IP address
will be displayed: IP 0.0.0.0.

There are two extra features on the serial port parameters under the name "Packaging": Silence and

Silence parameter is configurable from 0 to 2000 milliseconds.
Once a data is received, the SSE232-LE will wait for a "long silence" configured by the user before
sending the packet over the network.
If the silence is set to 0, the SSE232-LE will send the received data to the serial port immediately.

TerminaTermina
Termination parameter is the termination character of a series of bytes that is incomingto the serial port.
It is configurable from 0 to 255, and it can be disabled.
If enabled, the SSE232-LE will wait for this character to send all incoming data to the serial port.

If Termination is enabled and silence (0ms) is enabled, the SSE232-LE will store the received
data on its serial port until it receives the configured termination character, or its buffer is
filled.
If both criteria are used, the condition that is fulfilled first will cause the data to be sent.
