1 General

With the help of the universal interface, Ethernet frames are transmitted
to the serial interface, and frames received by the serial interface are
transmitted to the Ethernet.

DIP switches are included at the front panel for easy selection between
RS232, RS485 or RS422 interface.

The device’s mechanical design is intended for top-hat rail mounting.

3.1 Configuration

3.1.1 Ethernet Interface

The interface is preset with the following network settings:
IP Address: 192.168.4.200

Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 10001

To change these parameters, proceed as follows:
Advice for Windows 7 users:

The Telnet client must be activated:

Start -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off

-> Telnet Client

• Switch the supply power for the interface on and connect it to the network
hub with an RJ45 cable (1:1 cable) or directly to a PC (crosslink cable).

• Start the “MS DOS entry prompt” at your Windows PC.
With Windows 7 you must have extended rights:

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> double-click at Command Promp

-> Run as Administrator

•

Enter the desired IP address for the interface to the ARP table:

ARP -S XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx <CR>

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX : desired IP address
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx : Ethernet MAC address of the interface

(see label at the housing)

• Establish a Telnet connection to port 1:

TELNET XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1 <CR>

This connection will fail (disconnect within 3 seconds). However, the IP ad­dress is temporarily changed.
Close the Telnet window after acknowledging the error message.

• Establish a Telnet connection to port 9999:

TELNET XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 9999 <CR>

After the connection has been established, immediately press the enter key
(within 5 seconds) in order to enter the setup mode.

• Enter “0” (Server).

• Enter the desired IP address and press the enter key.

• Repeatedly press the enter key until

„Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (…)“ appears.
Enter here the number of free bits for the IP address,
f.e. „8“ for the netmask 255.255.255.0
(=11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000) or
“11“ for the netmask 255.255.248.0
(=11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000) and press the enter key.

• Repeatedly press the enter key until “Your choice?” appears.

• Press “9” to save all settings (-> the Telnet connection is interrupted).

Configuration of the Ethernet interface is now complete.
Now, the control frame can be transmitted to the interface via the selected
IP address (TCP/IP connection via port 10001).

3.1.2 Serial Interface

• Start your web browser (e.g. Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer).

• Input the IP address into the address field.

• Press button ”OK” in the authentification dialog and select “Channel 1” -> “Serial

Settings” in the left menu:

Several parameters of the serial interface can be set in the area “Channel 1”:

Port Settings / Protocol

Interface selection according to DIP switch settings of chapter “Interface Selection”.

Port Settings / Flow Control, Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits

Interface parameters are defined here.

• After changing, first press “OK” button and then “Apply Settings” in the left menu
window.

3.2 Operation / Functionality

After establishing an active connection to the network (via IP address and port)
and connecting a serial device, the interface is ready for data exchange.

Ethernet TCP/IP data are output to the serial interface 1:1.
In inverse direction, frames from the serial side are transmitted to the Ethernet.

5 Appendix

5.1 Reset to Factory Settings

The interface is already pre-configured at delivery and can be adjusted with
the settings, described in chapter “Configuration”.
Following description shows how to reset the factory settings (e.g. if there is
any error).
The IP address is not affected by the following changes. Please refer chapter
“Ethernet Interface” if you want to change it.

• Establish a Telnet connection to port 9999:

TELNET XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 9999 <CR>

After the connection has been established, immediately press the enter key
(within 5 seconds) in order to enter the setup mode.

• Enter “7” (Defaults).

• Enter “1” (Channel 1) and adapt following settings:

5.2 Warranty / Liability

For the product, liability is assumed for defects, which existed at the de­livery date according to our General Terms and Conditions.

Technically changes as well as errors are excepted. A claim for delivery
of a new product does not exist. The buyer has to check the received
product immediately and indicate evident defects at the latest 24 hours af­ter detection. Non-observance of notification requirements is equated with
acceptance of the defect. Not immediately visible defects have to be indi­cated immediately after their perception too.

Generally, defects and their symptoms must be described as accurately
as possible in order to allow for reproducibility and elimination. The buyer
must provide for access to the relevant device and all required and/or
useful information at no charge and must make all of the required data
and machine time available free of charge.

The guarantee does not cover defects, which result from non-observance
of the prescribed conditions of use, or from improper handling.

If the device has been placed at the disposal of the buyer for test purpos­es and has been purchased subsequent to such testing, both parties
agree that the product is to be considered “used” and that it has been
purchased “as is”. No guarantee claims may be made in such cases.

The General Terms and Conditions of microSYST Systemelectronic
GmbH in current version apply as well.
