UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
The UC-7110 Series of RISC-based Communication Platforms are ideal for your embedded
applications. UC-7110 comes with two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet LAN ports to provide users with a versatile communication platform.
UC-7110 uses the ARM9 166 Mhz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU, which uses a CISC design,
the ARM9’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor technology provide UC-7110
with a powerful computing engine and communication functions, but without generating too much
heat. The built-in 8 MB NOR Flash ROM and 16 MB SDRAM give you enough storage capacity
to run applications on UC-7110. The dual LAN ports built into the ARM9 make UC-7110 an ideal
communication platform for some of the more simple data acquisition and protocol conversion
applications, and the two RS-232/422/485 serial ports allow you to connect a variety of different
types of serial device.
The pre-installed µClinux operating system provides an open software operating system for
software program development. This means that software written for desktop PCs is easily ported
to UC-7110 by using a GNU cross complier, so that you will not need to spend time modifying
existing software code. The Operating System, device drivers, and your own software can all be
stored in UC-7110’s Flash memory.

Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect UC-7110 to serial devices.
You should heed the following common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation
of any electronic device:
y 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.
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.
y Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept
separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
y Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
y It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Yellow
Off
Serial port 1/2 is receiving data.
Serial port 1/2 is not receiving data.
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your UC-7110.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes 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 UC-7110. When plugged in, UC-7110’s internal components generate
heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Introduction
Connecting the Power
Connect the “live-wire” end of the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to UC-7110’s terminal block. If the
power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid green color after a 25 to 30 second
delay.
Grounding UC-7110
Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground wire from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting
devices.
ATTENTION
This product should be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected
Ground) contact is the left most contact of the
3-pin power terminal block connector when
viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the
SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.
Connecting Data Transmission Cables
This section describes how to connect UC-7110 to the network, serial devices, and serial COM
terminal.
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to UC-7110’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of
the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, UC-7110 will indicate a valid
connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
y The top-right LED on the connector maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100
Mbps Ethernet network.
y The top-left LED on the connector maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10
Mbps Ethernet network.
y The LEDs will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

Additional Functions
Reset Button
Press the “RESET” button continuously for more than 5 seconds to load the factory default
configuration. After loading the factory default, the system will reboot automatically. The System
Ready LED will be blinking for the first 5 seconds. We recommend that you only use this function
if the software is not working properly. To reset the µClinux system software, always use the
software reboot command />reboot to protect the integrity of data in the process of being
transmitted. The reset button is not designed to Hard Reboot UC-7110.
ATTENTION
Resetting to factory default will not format the user directory and erase all of the user's data.
Loading factory default will only load the configuration file. The files in UC-7110 that will be
changed include:
a. /etc/boa.conf
b. /etc/hosts
c. /etc/inittab
d. /etc/password
e. /etc/ramfs.img
f. /etc/resolv.conf
g. /etc/version
h. /etc/group
i. /etc/inetd.conf
j. /etc/motd
k. /etc/protocols
l. /etc/rc
m. /etc/services
o. /home/httpd/boa.conf
p. /home/httpd/index.html
ATTENTION
This function only takes effect when the user directory is working correctly. If the user directory
has crashed, the kernel will automatically load factory default.

UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Introduction
Real Time Clock
UC-7110’s real time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you do
not replace the lithium battery without the help of Moxa’s support team. If the battery needs to be
changed, contact the Moxa RMA service team for RMA service.
ATTENTION
The battery may explode if replaced by the incorrect type. To avoid this potential danger, always
be sure to use the correct type of battery.

UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Getting Started
Powering on UC-7110
Connect the SG wire to the Shielded Contact located on the upper left corner of the UC-7110, and
then power on UC-7110 by connecting the power adaptor. It takes about 16 seconds for the system
to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up.
ATTENTION
After connecting UC-7110 to the power supply, it will take about 16 seconds for the operating
system to boot up. The green Ready LED will not turn on until the operating system is ready.
Connecting UC-7110 to a PC
There are two ways to connect UC-7110 to a PC.
Console Port
The serial console port offers users with a
convenient mean of connecting to UC-7110.
This method is particularly useful when
using UC-7110 for first time. Since the
communication is over a direct serial
connection, you do not need to know either
of the IP addresses in order to make contact.
Use serial console port settings shown at the
right. Once the connection is established, the
following window will open.

UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Getting Started
Telnet
If you know at least one of the
two IP addresses and netmasks,
then you can use Telnet to
connect to UC-7110’s console.
Telnet can be used locally by using a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect your computer to
UC-7110, or over a LAN or the Internet. The default IP addresses and netmasks are shown above.
To login, type the Login name and password as requested. The defaults are:
Login: root
Password: root
LAN 1
LAN 2
Default IP Address Default Netmask
192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0
Once you reach the “Sash command shell” you can proceed to configure UC-7110’s network
settings, as described in the next section.
ATTENTION
y Serial Console Reminder: Remember to choose VT100 as the terminal type. Use the
CBL-RJ45F9-150 cable that comes with UC-7110 to connect to the serial console port. If
you do not get connected on the first try, unplug and then re-plug UC-7110’s power cord.
y Telnet Reminder: When connecting to UC-7110 over a LAN, you must configure your
PC’s Ethernet card to be on the same subnet as the UC-7110 you wish to contact.

UC-7110 Series User’s Manual Getting Started
Configuring the Ethernet Interface
In this section we use the serial console to explain how to modify UC-7110’s network settings.
1. Change directories by issuing the command cd /mnt/etc.
2. Type the command vi rc to use VI Editor to edit the configuration file. The IP addresses for
UC-7110’s LAN1 and LAN2 are given as
ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.127
ifconfig eth1 192.168.4.127
as shown in the following figure. Edit these two lines to modify the static IP addresses.
