Overview

Welcome to the Moxa CN2510 Async Server, a communication
server with 8/16 asynchronous RS-232 ports and 1 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet LAN port. The CN2510 Asyn c Server can be used to
connect terminals, modems, printers, and other asynchronous
serial devices t o LAN hosts. The CN2510 complies with TCP/IP and
IEEE 802.3 specifications using standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT
and twisted pair 10/100BaseTX cable as the physical medium.

If you forget the password, use a pointed

object, such as a straightened paper clip or
toothpick, to press the reset button. The
Ready LED will blink on and off while the
factory default settings are being loaded.
Once the Ready LED stops blinking (after
about 5 seconds), release the reset button.
You will hear a bee p, which indicates that the
default settings have been restored, and

the

CN2510 has rebooted.

LCM Display

We recommend using the LCM display and four push buttons to
configure the IP address for the first time.

Basic Operation:

If the CN2510 is working properly, the LCM panel will d isplay a
green color. The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that
the CN2510 is receiving po wer. After the red Ready LED turns to
green, you will see a display similar to:

C N 2 5 1 0 - 1 6 _ 3 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 2 7 . 2 5 4

This is where:

• CN2510-16 is the CN2510’s name

• 3 is this CN25 10’s local sequence numbe r

• 192.168.127.254 is the CN2510’s IP address

There are four push buttons on CN2510’s nameplate. Going from
left to right, the buttons are:

As you move through the various functions and setting options,
note that the top line shows the current menu or submenu name,
and the bottom line shows the submenu name or menu item that is
activated by pressing the SEL button.

Refer to the CN2510 Async Server User’s Manual for more details.

Hardware Installation

1. Installing the CN2510

Place the CN2510 on a desktop, or attach it to a standard rack
cabinet.

2. Wiring Requirements

A.

Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices.
If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make
sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

B.

NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and
power wiring in the same

wire conduit. To avoid

interference, wires with different signal characteristics
should be routed separately.

C.

We strongly ad vise that you label wiring to all devices in
the system.

3. Connecting the Power

AC:

Connect

the CN2510 100-240 VAC

power line with its AC
connector. If the power is properly connected, the
“Ready” LED will sh ow a solid red color until the system is
ready, at which time the “Ready” LED will change to a
green color.

DC:

Connect the CN2510-16/8-48V’s power cord to the
CN2510’s DC connector, and then follow the steps given
below:

1.

Loosen the screws on the V+ and V-

terminals of the CN2510-8/16-48V’s
terminal block.

2.

Connect the power cord’s 48 VDC wire to

the terminal block’s V+ terminal, and the
power cord’s DC Power G

round wire to the

terminal block’s V- terminal, and then
tighten the terminal block screws. (Note:
the CN2510-8/16-48V can still operate

even if the DC 48V and DC Power Ground
are reversed.)

If the power is properly connected, the “Ready” LED will show
a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the
“Ready” LED will change to a green color.

Grounding CN2510-16/8-48V:

Grounding and wire routing helps limit the
effects of noise due to electromagnetic
interference (EMI).

Run the ground

connection
from the ground screw to the grounding
surface prior to connecting devices

. The

Shielded Ground (sometimes called Prote cted
Ground) contact is the second contact from the
right of the 5

-pin power terminal block

connector located on the rear pane

l of the

CN2510

-8/16-

48V. Connect the SG wire to the

Earth ground.

4. Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the CN2510’s
10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet network. There are 2 LED indicators located on the
top left and right corners of the Ethernet connector. If the
cable is properly connected, the CN2510 will indicate a valid
connection to the Ethernet in the follow ing ways:

The top right corner LED indicator maintains a solid
green color when the cable is properly connected to
a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.

The top left corner LED indicator maintains a solid
orange color when the cable is properly connected
to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.

5. Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect the serial data cable between the CN2510 and the
serial device.

6. Connecting to a Console

A console is a combination of keyboard and monitor used to
configure settings and monitor the status of your system. If
you do not have a network environment, use a terminal, a PC
running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emu lation software (e.g.,
HyperTerminal in Windows; PComm by Moxa). Use an
RJ45-to-DB25 or RJ45-to-DB9 cable to connect the terminal to
the console socket. Refer to the CN2510 Async Server User’s
Manual for more details.

Software Installation

Entering the Console Utility

The Console Utility is the main application needed to set up the
server/port configuration, and to execute utilities such as ping,
diagnosis, monitor, and upgrade. There are two ways to enter the
Console Utility. One is to use terminal emulation through a console
terminal, and the other is to telnet from a network terminal.

Refer to the CN2510 Async Server User’s Manual for more details.
