ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your CN2600.

Wiring Caution!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and commo dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

Temperature Caution!

Be careful when handling the CN2600. When plugged in, the CN2600’s internal components generate heat, and consequently the board may feel hot to the touch.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal

Desktop

Place your CN2600 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the desktop kit to the bottom of the unit, and leave some space between the CN2600 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this might damage the server.

Rackmount

The CN2600 is designed to be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the enclosed pair of L-shaped metal brackets and screws to fasten your CN2600 to the rack cabinet. Each L-shaped bracket has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes available for other uses. You have two options. You can lock either the front or rear panel of the CN2600 to the front of the rack. Locking the front panel is shown in the following figure.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Use appropriately wired serial data cables to connect serial devices to the CN2600’s serial ports.

Connecting to the Console Port

A console is a combination of keyboard and monitor that is used to configure settings and monitor the status of your system. The console port can be used if a network is unavailable, or you do not know the CN2600’s IP address. To connect to the console port, use a PC running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal or PComm by Moxa; parameter settings are: baudrate = 115200 bps, parity check = None, data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, terminal type = VT100). Use an RJ45-to-DB25 or RJ45-to-DB9 cable to connect the terminal to the console port.

Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the RS-485 Port

In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. The CN2600 uses jumper settings or DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.

To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the OFF

position. This is the default setting. To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the ON position.

3. Initial IP Address Configuration

When setting up the CN2600 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure its IP address. This chapter introduces the different methods that can be used. Please refer to Chapt er 8, System Management Settings, for more details about network settings.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses Factory Default IP Address Configuration Options

ATTENTION

Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your CN2 mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. For most applications, you should assign a fixed IP address to your CN2600.

NOTE

The wide temperature model does not have an LCM Display panel and push buttons. The LCM description below applies only to standard temperature models.

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses

Determine whether your CN2600 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or BOOTP/PPPoE application).

• If your CN2600 terminal server is used in a static IP environment, you will assign a specific IP address using one of the tools described in this chapter.

• If your CN2600 terminal server is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned automatically from over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP, or PPPoE.

Factory Default IP Address

The CN2600 is configured with the following default private IP addresses:

192.168.126.254 and 192.168.127.254

Note that IP addresses that begin with “192.168” are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices configured with a private IP address are not directly accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet connection. If your application requires sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your CN2600 will need a valid public IP address, which can be leased from a local ISP.

Configuration Options

Terminal Server Search Utility

4. Serial Port Operation Modes

In this chapter, we describe the various operation modes of the CN2600. CN2600 modes are grouped by type of application, such as Device Control or Reverse Terminal. The options include an operation mode that relies on a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After selecting the pr oper operation mode, please refer to C h apter 5, Configuration with the Web Console, for detailed information on configuration parameters.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

CN2600 Series Serial Port Operation Modes

The CN2600 comes bundled with Real COM drivers for Windows 98/ME/NT/ 2000/XP/2003/Vista systems and TTY drivers for Linux systems. In Real COM mode, the bundled drivers are able to establish a transparent connection between a host and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the CN2600 to a local COM/TTY port on the host computer. Real COM mode supports up to 8 simultaneous connections that enable multiple hosts to simultaneo

Overview

The CN2600 network-enables traditional serial (RS-232/422/485) devices. The serial device server is a special-purpose computer equipped with a CPU and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally translate data between the serial and Ethernet for ma ts. Your own computer will be able to ac cess, manage, and configure remote facilities and equipment over the Internet from anywhere in the world.

Traditional SCADA and data collection systems rely on serial ports to collect data from various kinds of instruments. Since the C N2600 network-enables instruments equipped with an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication port, your SCADA and data collection system will be able to access all instruments connected to a standard TCP/IP network, regar d less of whether the devices are used locally or at a remote site.

The CN2600 is an external IP-based network device that allows you to expand the number of serial ports for a host computer on demand. As long as your host computer supports the TCP/IP protocol, you will not be limited by the host computer’s bus limitation (such as ISA or PCI), nor will you be limited by the absence of drivers for various operating systems.

In addition to providing socket access, the CN2600 also comes with a Real COM/TTY driver that transmits all serial signals intact. This enables you to preserve your existing COM/TTY-based software without needing to invest in additional software.

Three different socket modes are ava ilable: TCP Server, TCP Client, and U DP Server/Client. The main difference between the TCP and UDP protocols is that TCP guarantees delivery of data by requiring the recipient to send an acknowledgement to the sender. UDP does not require this type of verification, making it possible to offer faster delivery. UDP also allows unicast or multi-unicast of data to one IP or groups of IP addresses.

The CN2600 also supports console mana gement applications, includin g Rev erse Telnet modes. Reverse terminal modes enable you to connect to a server’s console port through an IP network for remote control and/or monitoring of that server.

Device Control Applications

For device control applications, the CN2600 offers the following modes: Real COM and RFC2217 mode.

Real COM Mode

usly collect data from the same serial device.

One of the major conveniences of using Real COM mode is that it allows you to use software that was written for pure serial communication app lications. The Real COM driver inter cepts data sent to the host’s COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, then redirects it through the host’s Ethernet card. At the other end of the connection, the CN2600 accepts the Ethernet frame, unpacks the TCP/IP packet, and then transparently sends the data through the serial port to the attached serial device.

CN2600 Series Serial Port Operation Modes

4-3

ATTENTION

Real COM mode allows several hosts to have access control over the same CN2600. The drivers that come with your CN2600 control host access by checking the host’s IP address. Please refer to the Accessible IP List section in Chapter 8,

In TCP Server mode, the serial port on the CN2600 is assigned a port number which must not conflict with any other serial port on the CN2600. The host computer initiates contact with the CN2600, establishes the conn ection, and receives data from the serial device. This operation mode also supports up to 8 collect data from the same serial device at the same time. As illustrated in the figure, data tran smission proceeds as follows: The host requests a connection from th e CN2600, which is configured for TCP Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directions between the host and the CN2600.

In TCP Client mode, the CN2600 can actively establish a TCP connection to a pre arrives. After the data has been transferred, the CN2600 can automatically disconnect from the host computer by using the Inactivity time settings. As illustrated in the figure, data tran smission proceeds as follows: The CN2600, configured for TCP connection from the host. Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directions between the host and the CN2600.

System Management Set tings, for more details.

RFC2217 Mode

RFC-2217 mode is similar to Real C OM mode. That is, a driver is used to establish a transparent connection between a host computer and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the CN2600 to a local COM port on the host computer. RFC2217 defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol. Third party drivers supporting RFC-2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to implement Virtual COM mapping to your CN2600 serial port(s).

Socket Applications

For socket applications, the CN2600 offers the following modes: TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP.

Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you

unicast data from a serial device to one or multiple host computers and the serial device can receive data from one or multiple host computers. These traits make UDP mode especially suited for message display applications.

Redundant COM

The Redundant COM operation mode can be used to set up a redundant LAN between the serial devices connected to the CN2600’s serial po rts and the host computer. The redundant structure involves using the CN2600’s two LAN ports to set up two independent LANs that connect the CN2600 to the host computer. I f either of the two LANs fails, the other LAN will continue transmitting packets between the serial devices and the host, with the packets passing through the CN2600. In fact, one of the biggest advantages of the CN2600’s Redundant COM mode is that the “switching time” is zero.

Dual-host Redundant Data Acquisition System (DRDAS)

The DRDAS operation mode provides a highly redundant network structure that takes advantage of the CN2600’s dual LAN ports, dual IP addresses, and dual MAC addresses. DRDAS uses a backup PC that is set up to take over when the primary PC fails.

The CN2600’s dual-host redundant configuration sends seria l data to 4 IP addresses on the network. U sers select a Primary IP and 3 Secondary IPs. When the Primar y IP fails, the backup IPs take over by using the DRDAS library.

The DRDAS library is used to configure the DRDAS of the CN series. You must use the DRDAS libr ar y to designate the primary and secondary hosts. If you need this library, please contact conn.support@moxa.com

With this kind of redundant setup, if one of the secondary IPs tries to send commands to the serial device, the commands are discarded by the CN2600, since only the Primary IP is allow ed to conduct bi-directional transmission. The backup IPs are only allowed to receive data from the CN2600.

Terminal Applications

Terminal applications involve connecting terminals to UNIX or Windows servers over a network. A terminal connects to the appropriately configured serial port the CN2600, and the CN2600 transmit s information to and from a UNIX or Windows server over the network through its Ethernet port. You may need to check with your network administrator to determine the appropriate terminal mode. All terminal modes support fast keys as used in many terminal a pplications.

Please refer to Chapter 4, Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes, for detailed information and configuration instructions.

Terminal ASCII Mode

Terminal ASCII mode can handle up to 8 sessions per port with the ability to sw itch between sessions on the same terminal. This mode is used for text-based terminals with no file transfer capability or encryption.

Terminal BIN Mode

Terminal BIN mode allows one session per port and is used for terminal applications that include fil e transfer features.
