Using SEC (Serial-to-Ethernet Connector)
Introduction
Serial to Ethernet Connector is an advanced software-based solution that allows you to share more than 255 serial port devices over network easily turning your computer into low­cost terminal server. Thus, any serial port device connected to your COM port could be accessed from anywhere in the
world (via Internet or LAN) as if it is attached directly to the
remote PC. When the attached serial port device sends communication data, it is actually transmitted over TCP/IP network and back from the network to your serial device. Serial to Ethernet Connector provides the ability to create several connection types for three main purposes:
• Share serial port for incoming connections (Server)
Server connection will be waiting for incoming client connections and actually will share local real or virtual serial port into network. Server connection provides an ability to connect many clients simultaneously and each connected client is able to transmit input/output serial data to local real or virtual serial port.
• Connect serial port to Serial Device Server (Client)
Creating client connection will initiate local real or virtual serial port data redirection to the remote server using TCP/ IP protocol.
15
You have to do is specify remote server's IP address
(or network name) and TCP port to connect to. Once
connection is established, all data sent from remote serial port device, attached to the server, will be genuinely delivered to local serial port where it can be further processed.
• Share serial port using UDP
You can redirect input/output data from local real or virtual serial port using UDP/IP underlay protocol. Besides, you are able to broadcast all serial data to your local network.
16
Driver installation
1. Double click SDS_Setup in order to start installation process.
Note: This driver combines the utilities of Serial to Ethernet Connector and Serial to Ethernet Toolkit. Both utilities will
be installed to the computer after running the installation.
2. Follow the on-sereen instructions to complete the installation. Once the installation has been completed,
Two shortcuts ( and ) will appear on the desktop. To launch the utility, double-click the shortcut which created
on the desktop. Alternatively, navigate the Start menu and locate the launcher in Programs submenu.
Note: Please install the utility before connecting the serial server to a computer.
17
Uninstall the software
Uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Connector
To uninstall the Uninstall Serial to Ethernet Connector, click on Uninstall Serial to Ethernet Connector under Ethernet Software item in Programs submenu, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Toolkit
1. To uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Toolkit, click Control Panel in Programs submenu.
2. Click Uninstall a program under Program > right click on Select Serial Device Server to bring up Uninstall.
18
Quick starting guide
This guide will take you through the process of establishing client-server connection over TCP/IP network. To launch the
Serial to Ethernet Connector, double click the shortcut on the desktop.
Sharing a local serial port on PC
1. In Create connection tab choose the required connection type: Share serial port for incoming connections (Server).
Also specify the name to identify this connection, for instance, COM1 [Server]
2. Select local serial port to be shared. For example, COM1
Note: A serial port name must not contain spaces inside.
3. Tick Create as virtual serial port checkbox to use a virtual serial port instead of a real one. The advantage of virtual serial ports technology is that you are not limited to the number of physical serial ports in a system, and thus
you can free existing serial ports for other applications.
19
Note: A virtual serial port can have the same name as
the existing physical COM port. But in this case it will be
accessed instead of physical one.
4. Tick Strict baud rate emulation checkbox if you want to enable baud rate emulation, which permits virtual ports to work with the same speed as real ones.
5. Specify TCP port, which will be used in connection. Make
sure this port is not blocked by rewall and is not used by other servers in your system (DNS, SMTP, IIS, etc.).
6. Click Create connection button.
7. Now the shared serial port can be accessed from the
Serial Device Server side (next page) with default
settings.
20
Connecting to a shared serial port from the serial device server
1. In Create connection tab choose the required connection type: Connect serial port to Serial Server Device. The name to identify this connection will be set automatically depending on the shared serial port, which participates in connection.
2. Specify the shared serial port number to connect to.
3. Also specify the remote server's IP or name, as well as TCP port, used in connection. Click Add button to add IP address to IP's list.
21
4. Сlick Create connection button.
5. Now you are ready to start the communication process with default settings.
22
Creating UDP Connecting
Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you establish UDP/IP connection between serial ports. UDP connection may come useful for streaming big chunks of data as well as for Mail, DNS, Finger and other services.
To create a connection, follow these instructions:
1. Switch to Create connection tab.
2. Specify connection name to identify this conguration.
Default name is based on local serial port number, which participates in connection, and connection type in brackets.
3. Select connection type you want to create. In this case it is Share serial port using UDP.
23
4. In Select Serial Port eld choose local serial port which will participate in connection: either add it manually, or select one from the drop-down list.
5. Tick Create as virtual serial port option if you would like to use virtual serial ports instead of real ones.
6. Tick Strict baud rate emulation checkbox if you want
to enable baud rate emulation. You can nd more details
about our virtual serial port and baud rate emulation technologies here.
7. Specify IP address (or network name) of the remote end
and port number to connect to. Make sure that the port numbers are the same at both ends and are not blocked
by rewall.
8. You can also specify the port to receive the data, regardless of the port the data is sent to. It may be useful if you create UDP connection with several devices that have the same ports.
9. Finally, click Create connection button. Once connection is created, you can see it in Connections tree.
10. Open local serial port. You may use Windows
HyperTerminal utility for this purpose. This step is necessary only if you want to verify whether the connection was created successfully.
24
11. Create UDP connection at the remote end. Repeat steps
1-10 listed above. Make sure that the port numbers are
the same at both ends and are not blocked by rewall.
12. Now you are ready to start communication process with
default settings. You can refer to Editing UDP connection section if you would like to edit a newly established connection.

3. Click <Device Management> on the left window.
4. Click <Search> button on the right window.
5. All the searched devices will be listed on the Device List
when the search procedure is nished.
26
Web console
This Serial server supports the remote conguration using
web console on the network. To use the web console, open
a web browser (eg., Internet Explorer) and type the IP
address which you have set in the Network and Sharing Center (string example of Windows 7
®
, the actual string is
depending on your operating system).
Note: Congure the IP address to 192.168.3.X where
the X is between 2 and 254. To set up your computer's IP address, refer to the operating system's instruction manual.
Login the web console, and then click Submit. By default, the password is admin.
27
Network settings
Network settings are used to setup network parameters for serial server. User must assign a valid IP address to serial server. Network system administrator will provide you with an IP address and related settings for the network. The
IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise, serial server will not have a valid connection to the network).
28
IP Address
An IP address is a number assigned to a serial server. Computers use the IP address to identify and communicate with the device over the Network. Choose a proper IP
address which is unique and valid in the network.
By default, the IP address is 192.168.3.22 Default Net Mask will be 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway is 192.168.3.1
IP Conguration
There are four possible IP Conguration modes, Static,
DHCP, BOOTPM and DHCP/BOOTP respectively. These
modes are located under the web console screen’s IP conguration drop-down box In dynamic IP environments. The rmware will retry 3 times every 30 seconds until
Network Settings are assigned by the DHCP or BOOTP server. The timeout for each try increases from 1 second, to 3 seconds, to 5 seconds. If the DHCP/BOOTP server is
unavailable, the rmware will use the default IP Address,
192.168.3.22, Net mask, and Gateway for IP settings. The
factory default is Static.
29
DNS Server 1/ DNS Server 2
In order to use serial server’s DNS feature, you need to set
the IP address of the DNS server to be able to access the host with the Domain Name. Serial server provides
DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2 conguration items to congure the IP address of the DNS Server. DNS Server 2
is included for use when DNS Sever 1 is unavailable. LAN server plays the role of DNS client. Functions that support domain name in serial server are Time Sever IP Address, TCP Client-Destination IP Address, Mail Server, SNMP Trap IP Address, and IP Location Server.
SNMP Settings
Enable or disable SNMP function. The factory default is
Enable.
Community Name
A community name is a plain-text password mechanism that is used to weakly authenticate queries to agents of
managed Network Devices. The factory default is Public.
Contact
The SNMP contact information usually includes an emergency contact name and telephone or pager number. The factory default is NONE.
Location
Specify the location string for SNMP agents such as serial server. This string is usually set to the street address where the serial server is physically located. The factory default is NONE.
30
IP address report
When serial servers are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For
example, serial server works as a server (TCP or UDP), and
the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the server; the host must take care of what happens when the IP changes. Serial servers help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP Location Server, in case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below
are used to congure the Auto IP Report function. There are
two ways to develop an Auto IP Report Server” to receive
serial server’s Auto IP Report.
31
WiFi settings
Mode
• Infra: Connect via an access point
• Adhoc: Direct connect to a PC without an access point.
Scan Routers: Click <Scan Routers> to search the
available wireless LAN(s), and then select a desired
wireless LAN to join.
IP conguration: Enable the DHCP to get an IP address from the wireless router or disable to change the IP address, Subnet mask and Default Gateway.
Encryption: OFF and ON.
Key ID: Select a Key ID which you have set on the
connected AP, and then enter the password. The serial server will detect the security mode automatically. Note: The password you entered must be the same as
congured on the AP.
32
Serial settings
Serial Settings page is used to set serial port parameters
and request for their status. All of the items mentioned above will reect real-time status.
If its setting is override by some application setting, it will show the current running setting. To modify serial settings for a particular port, click on desired port number under Serial Settings. Those serial port parameters are meaningful only in multiple connection usage. When used in the single connection scenario, those setting will be override by application settings.
33
Port Alias
Port alias is specially designed to allow easy identication of the aerial devices which are connected to serial server’s
aerial port. The factory default is None and is optional.
Baud rate
Can be set from 110 bps to 921600 bps. The factory default is 115200 bps.
Data bits Data bits are 5,6,7,8. The factory default is 8.
Stop bits Stop bits are 1 ,2. The factory default is 1.
Parity
None, Even, Odd, Space, Mark. The factory default is
None.
Flow control
Supports None, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, Xon/ Xoff. The factory default is None.
Interface: RS-232, RS-485/422 (4-wire), RS-485(2-wire)
34
Operating settings
Click Operating Settings to display the operating settings
for all of serial server ports. To congure the desired port,
click from left window under Operating Settings item.
Note: When the Serial server is under REAL COM mode,
the default TCP ports are as follows:
Port 1 1234 Port 2 1235 Port 3 1236 Port 4 1237
35
Operation mode
Real COM mode
TCP Alive check time 1 to 99 min: Serial server automatically closes TCP
connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, serial server starts listening
for another Real COM driver’s connection from another
host. The factory default is 7 minutes.
TCP server mode
TCP Alive check time: The factory default is 7 minutes.
● 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP
connection.
36
● 1 to 99 min: Serial server automatically closes TCP
connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, serial server starts listening
for another host’s TCP connection.
Inactivity time (0-65535 ms): The factory default is 0 ms.
● 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle Serial
Line.
● 0-65535 ms: serial server automatically closes the
TCP connection if there is no Serial data activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, Serial Server
starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This parameter denes the maintenances status as Closed or
Listen on the TCP connection. The connection is closed if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial
port during the specic Inactivity time.
If the value of inactivity time is set to 0, the current TCP connection is maintained until there is connection close
request. Although inactivity time is disabled, the serial
server will check the connection status between the serial server and remote host by sending keep alive packets periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the packet, it assumes that the connection was closed down
unintentionally. Serial server will then force the existing
TCP connection to close. To prevent the unintended loss of data due to the session disconnected, it is highly recommended that this value is set large enough so that
37
the intended data transfer is completed. Max connection: The factory default is 1. Max Connection is usually
used when the user needs to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. The factory default only allows 1 connection at a time.
● Max. Connection 1: Serial server only allows 1 host to
open the TCP connection to the specic serial port.
● Max Connection 2 to 4: Allow 2 to 4 host’s TCP connection
request to open the specic serial server’s serial port,
at the same time. When multiple hosts establish a TCP
connection to the specic serial port at the same time,
serial server will duplicate the serial data and transmit to
all of the hosts. Ethernet data is sent on a rst-in-rst-out
basis to the serial port when data comes into serial server from the Ethernet interface.
38
TCP client mode
TCP Alive check time
● 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP
connection.
● 1 to 99 min: Serial Server automatically closes TCP
connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.
Inactivity time
● 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial
line.
● 0-65535 ms: Serial server automatically closes the
TCP connection if there is no serial data activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, serial server
starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This parameter denes the maintenances status as Closed or
Listen on the TCP connection. The connection is closed if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the
serial port during the specic Inactivity time. If the value
of inactivity time is set to 0, the current TCP connection
is maintained until there is connection close request.
39
Although inactivity time is disabled, the serial server will check the connection status between the serial server and remote host by sending keep alive packets periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the packet, it assumes that the connection was closed down
unintentionally. Serial server will then force the existing
TCP connection to close.
UDP mode
Destination IP Address 1: Setting destination IP address
1, allows serial server to connect actively to the remote host whose address is set by this parameter.
Destination IP Address 2 / 3 / 4: Destination IP address 2/3/4, allows serial server to connect actively to the remote host whose address is set by this parameter.
Local Listen Port: The UDP port that serial server listens to and those other devices must use to contact serial server.
To avoid conicts with well-known UDP ports, the default is
set to 4001.
40
Accessible IP settings
Serial server has an IP address based ltering method to
control access to the serial server. Accessible IP Settings allows you to add or remove legal remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access. Access to serial server is
controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address is in
the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed access to the serial server. You can allow one of the following cases by setting the parameter in any of the 16 rules.
■ Only one host of specic IP address can access the serial
server.
Enter IP address/255.255.255.255
(e.g., “192.168.1.1/ 255.255.255.255”).
■ Hosts on the specic subnet can access the serial server.
Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0”
(e.g., “192.168.1.0/2 55.255.255.255”).
■ Any Host can access the serial server.
Disable this function. By default the accessible IPs
list is disabled.
41
Auto warning wettings
E-mail and SNMP trap
<Mail server>
Enter the mail server IP address for the serial server to send auto warning mails to the mail server. If the mail
server requires authentication, tick My server requires authentication check box and enter the User name /
Password.
<From E-mail address1/2/3/4>
Input the Email address of the recipient to receive auto warning mails.
<SNMP trap server IP or domain name>
Input the SNMP trap server IP address or domain name for auto reporting.
42
Event type
<Cold start>
This refers to start the system from power off (contrast this with Warm start). When performing a cold start, serial server
will automatically issue an auto warning message by e-mail, or send an SNMP trap after rebooting.
<Warm start>
This refers to restart the computer without turning the power
off. It’s the opposite of cold start. When performing a warm
start, serial server will automatically send an e-mail, or send an SNMP trap after rebooting.
<Authentication failure>
The user inputs a wrong password from the console or administrator. When authentication failure occurs, serial server will immediately send an e-mail or send an SNMP trap.
43
<IP Address changed>
The user has changed serial server’s IP address. When the
IP address changes, serial server will send an e-mail with the new IP address before serial server reboots. If the serial server fails to send mail to the mail server after 15 seconds, serial server will be rebooting directly and abort the mail auto warning.
<Password changed>
The user has changed serial server’s password. When the
password changes , serial server will send an e-mail with the password change notice before serial server reboots. If the serial server fails to send mail to the mail server after 15 seconds, serial server will be rebooting directly and abort the mail auto warning.
<Mail>
This feature helps the administrator manage the serial
server. Serial server sends mail to pre-dened mail boxes
when the enabled events—such as cold start, warm start,
authentication failure, etc.—occur. To congure this feature, click on the event type box.
<Trap>
This feature helps the administrator manage the serial
server. Serial server send SNMP Trap to a pre-dened
SNMP Trap server when the enabled events—such as cold start, warm start, authentication failure, etc.—occur. To
congure this feature, you need to click on the event type box.
44
Change password
Input the Old password and New password to change the
password. Leave the password boxes blank to erase the
password.
In this case, the serial server will not have password protection. If user forgets the password, the ONLY way to
congure serial server is by using the Reset button on serial server’s casing to Load Factory Default. (default password is admin)
45
Load factory default
This function will reset all of serial server’s settings to the
factory default values.
The console must prompt the warning message to the users to notice them that previous settings will be lost.
46
Upgrade
The Upgrade page enables user to upgrade rmware from
web console.
The upgrade option needs a TFTP Server program which needs to be run on the client PC from where the complete
rmware Image is to be downloaded onto the serial server
board.
The Device IP Address displays the IP address of the serial server.
Enter the TFTP server IP Address and the Filename of the
update le, and then click Upgrade. The rmware will be
completely upgraded.
47
Save/Restart
This function is used to save current setting and automatic restart the serial server.
Click Submit to save and restart the serial server. Warning!! Reboot will disconnect both serial and Ethernet connections and data maybe lost.
