SERVICING

Jumper J1 can be changed on the board to change the RJ45 copper port’s MDIX setting. See Connecting the Unit on page 9 for more details.

DIN Rail Mounting

Install the unit on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 5” of horizontal clearance for serial cable bend radius.

To install the unit to 35mm industrial DIN rail, place the top edge of the included mounting bracket on the back of the unit against the DIN rail at a 15° angle as shown. Rotate the bottom of the unit to the back (away from you) until it snaps into place.

300-PM 900-PM

900-RM

To remove the unit from the 35mm industrial DIN rail, place a flat head screwdriver into the orange release clip found at the bottom of the unit, and apply downward force on the clip until it disengages from the bottom of the unit from the DIN rail. Rotate the bottom of the unit towards you and up at an approximate 15° upward angle to completely remove the unit.

With the exception of the 524TX and 526FX2, all N-Tron™ products are designed to be mounted on industry standard 35mm DIN rail. However, DIN rail mounting may not be suitable for all applications. We offer three alternative mounting solutions: Our 300 Panel Mount Assembly (P/N: 300-PM) may be used to mount a single 100 or 300 Series unit to a panel or other flat surface. Our 900 Panel Mount Assembly (P/N: 900-PM) may be used to securely mount our 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 900 Series products to a panel or other flat surface; Our Rack Mount Assembly (P/N: 900-RM) may be used to mount our products to standard 19" racks.

Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the Power Input Header Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity). Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the Power Input Header. Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot. Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power operation, V1 and V2 inputs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. This device will draw current from both sources simultaneously. Use 16-28 gauge wire when connecting to the power supply.

GROUNDING TECHNIQUES

The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.

Both V- legs of the power input connector are connected to chassis internally on the PCB. Connecting a drain wire to earth ground from one of the V- terminal plugs as shown here will ground the switch and the chassis. The power leads from the power source should be limited to 3 meters or less in length.

As an alternate, users can run a drain wire & lug from any of the Din-Rail screws or empty PEM nuts on the enclosure. When using an unused PEM nut to connect a ground lug via a machine screw, care should be taken to limit the penetration of the outer skin by less than 1/4 in. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the internal components of the switch.

The use of shielded cables between devices is not required for most N-Tron devices (please consult the user manuals for specific details). If the use of shielded cables is required, it is generally recommended to only connect the shield at one end to prevent ground loops and interfere with low level signals (i.e. thermocouples, RTD, etc.). Cat5e cables manufactured to EIA-568A or 568B specifications are required for use with N-Tron Switches.

In the event all Cat5e patch cable distances are small (i.e. All Ethernet devices are located the same local cabinet and/or referenced to the same earth ground), it is permissible to use fully shielded cables terminated to chassis ground at both ends in systems void of low level analog signals.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

For DCE serial devices (like a modem) use a null modem RS-232 cable to connect to the 102PC-SE. For a DTE serial device (like a computer) use a straight through RS-232 cable.

For the 10/100 Base-TX port, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end to a PC or a network through a hub or switch. A standard straight through or cross-over Category 5E cable may be used to connect to either device. The MDIX mode of the 102PC-SE can be changed using jumper J1 on the board. By factory default the device is set up to use a straight through cable for a PC. Any N-Tron switch will automatically determine what MDIX the 102PC-SE is using and will connect it to the network.

SERIAL INTERFACE

The 102PC-SE provides an EIA-232 interface accessed via a 9 pin male connector (labeled ‘COM’ on the unit). This is used to access the Command Line Interpreter (CLI), and to attach serial devices to the network over Ethernet. The pin-outs are shown below:

Software Configuration

Web Management

The 102PC-SE offers users the ability to remotely logon and configure the 102PC-SE through a web browser.

Note: By default the 102PC-SE has an IP address of 192.168.1.202 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If the 102PC-SE sees a

DHCP server on the network he will use that and acquire the next available IP address that the DHCP server has in its DHCP pool. You must know what the IP address is before you can configure the 102PC-SE through a web browser. If you need to you can configure a static IP address through the serial port.

Once an IP address has been configured for the unit it can be remotely configured through a web browser. To configure it over a web browser simply enter the IP address in the web address line of the web browser.

You should be prompted to enter a user name and password. You can configure multiple user accounts.

Default Settings: User Name: admin

Password: admin

Once logged in you will be confronted with the following page. Simply click on either link by default they both end up loading to the same page.

Note: The Host Configuration page is available to

give the user a place to customize the web management features for the serial device that they attach to the 102PC-SE. By default this page is simply forwarded to the IPModule Configuration page.

N-Tron does NOT provide software

development support for users who wish to customize the Host Configuration page.

12/1/2006

Page 19

Both links should display the page below. Here you can configure every option that the 102PC-SE will support.

Note: If you can’t find an option that you are looking

to configure you may manually enter the command in through the web browser under the command link at the top of the page.

Don’t forget to save the running configuration after making changes. Otherwise settings may not change after a power cycle on the switch.

Scenario 1 – Manual Dialout

• Connect to the 102PC-SE using a telnet Client on port 23 (or configuration port).

• At the command prompt, invoke # dialout serial s0. Once the session is opened successfully, there can

be two-way traffic between the telnet client and the serial device.

o You can switch from Command Prompt to Dialout session using "restore session" command. o You can switch from Dialout session to Command Prompt using "<escape-monitor-string>" respectively.

Manual Dialout Feature through Command Shell

Commands to Setup Manual Dial-out with the 102PC-SE

# set ip eth0 dhcp-client disable # set ip eth0 ip-address 192.168.2.1 # set serial s0 baud-rate 115200 # set serial s0 data-bits 8 # set serial s0 parity none # set serial s0 stop-bits 1 # set serial s0 flow-control rts-cts # save

Once the above configuration is saved in the 102PC-SE, use a telnet client and connect to 192.168.1.202 on port 23.

On successful login, at the 102PC-SE command prompt, invoke # dialout serial s0

The serial port now opens for use.

Notes:

1. Only one dial-out session can be open at a time.

2. The Dial-out session is closed when the Telnet session is closed, thereby releasing the serial port.

3. When Dial-out session authentication is enabled as specified in Optional commands, the session prompts for user-name and

password before opening the session successfully. (Enabled by default).

4. The serial port is opened with the current serial configuration.

5. When escape-monitor is enabled, care should be taken during file transfer that the escapemonitor-string is not part of the data.

6. Manual dial-out is supported for the Telnet protocol ONLY and not for the UDP protocol.

Scenario 2 – Auto Dialout Using Telnet

In this scenario, the Auto Dial-out session in Telnet mode is opened using a Telnet client.

Prerequisites

Raw mode (global and each port) must be either enabled or disabled using above-mentioned optional commands.

• Auto Dial-out session can be opened by a Telnet client by specifying the configured auto-dialout port.

• Once the session is opened successfully, there can be two-way traffic between the telnet session

and the remote serial device.

Auto Dialout Feature in Telnet Mode

Commands to Setup Auto Dialout in Telnet Mode with the 102PC-SE

Once the above configuration is saved in the 102PC-SE, use a telnet client and connect to 192.168.1.202 on port 5000. This eventually establishes a telnet Auto dial-out session between the 102PC-SE and the serial device. Closing the Telnet client, closes the serial port in use.

Notes:

1. Only one dialout session to the same port can be opened at one time.

2. When dialout session authentication is enabled as specified in Optional commands, the session prompts for user-name and

password before opening the session successfully. (Enabled by default)

3. The serial port is opened with the current serial configuration.

4. Example above shows RAW Mode disabled. If you plan on using RAW Mode you must enable it in three places (globally, and for

each port)

Scenario 3 – Auto Dialout Using UDP

In this scenario, the Auto Dial-out session in UDP mode is initiated by an external UDP Client.

Auto Dialout Feature using UDP Mode

Commands to Setup UDP Dial-out in the 102PC-SE

# set ip eth0 dhcp-client disable # set ip eth0 ip-address 192.168.2.1 # set ip auto-dialout enable # set serial s0 auto-dialout enable # set serial s0 auto-dialout-port 5000 # set serial s0 auto-dialout-protocol udp/all # set serial s0 baud-rate 115200 # set serial s0 data-bits 8 # set serial s0 parity none # set serial s0 stop-bits 1 # set serial s0 flow-control rts-cts # set serial s0 dialout-monitor dtr # set ip udp inactivity enable/disable # set ip udp inactivity-timeout t # set ip udp terminate-monitor enable/disable # set ip udp terminate-string <string> # save

Functionality

When any UDP client connects to the 102PC-SE on the configured port, the 102PC-SE locks the serial port for that UDP-Client and latches to the UDP client address connected. The UDP-Client is now ready to send or receive data to or from the serial device.

How to Terminate the UDP-Dialout Session

If the “inactivity” is enabled and the timeout value is configured, the active UDP session will be terminated on the expiry of inactive timeout.

If the “terminate-monitor” is enabled, the UDP-Client can terminate the session by sending the terminate-string configured in the 102PC-SE.

If both “inactivity” and “terminate-monitor” are enabled, the UDP dialout session is terminated on any of the above two events that occurs first.

When the “dialout-monitor” is set to dtr, toggling the DTR signal state terminates The UDP-dialout session.

Notes

•

Authentication is NOT supported for the UDP Dialout feature.

•

At any given point of time, only one “UDP Client” can send or receive data from the serial-device through the 102PC-SE.

•

# set serial s0 raw-mode <enable/disable> is NOT applicable for the UDP Auto-dialout feature.

When detecting either a DTR signal (or) any character received from the serial device connected to the serial port of 102PC-SE, the Telnet client in the 102PC-SE establishes a telnet session to 192.168.2.10 on port 23.

The serial tunnel between the serial device and the Telnet Server terminates in one of the following conditions.

• A physical disconnection of the serial device from the serial port of the 102PC-SE.

• The Telnet Client on board is terminated.

• The Telnet Server terminates the session.

Notes:

1. You can not open more than one Dial-in session.

2. The Dial-in session is closed when the configuration session is closed (if opened).

3. When escape-monitor is enabled, care should be taken during file transfer that the escapemonitor-

string is not part of the data.

4. Example above shows RAW Mode disabled. If you plan on using RAW Mode you must enable it in three places (globally, and for

each port)

Scenario 3 – Serial Auto Dial-in Using UDP

This example shows how to setup a serial auto dial-in session in UDP mode. The auto dial-in session is opened by the UDP client in the 102PC-SE to the configured server on a configured port.

Once the session is opened, there can be two-way traffic between the serial device and the remote server.

• You can switch from Command Prompt to Dial-in session using the restore session command.

• You can switch from Dial-in session to Command Prompt using <escape-monitor-string>.

Auto Dial-in Feature in UDP Mode

Commands to Setup Auto Dial-In in Telnet Mode with the 102PC-SE

# set ip eth0 dhcp-client disable # set ip eth0 ip-address 192.168.2.1 # set serial auto-dialin enable # set serial s0 auto-dialin enable # set serial s0 auto-dialin trig-mode dtr-char # set serial s0 auto-dialin-ipaddress 192.168.2.10 # set serial s0 auto-dialin-port 23 # set serial s0 auto-dialin-protocol udp # set serial s0 baud-rate 115200 # set serial s0 data-bits 8 # set serial s0 parity none # set serial s0 stop-bits 1 # set serial s0 flow-control rts-cts # save

Functionality

After booting, the SocketEthernet IP Module initiates a UDP Auto-dialin session to the configured server, depending on the configured Auto-dialin trig mode settings.

1. dtr: Upon detecting DTR on the serial port S0, it initiates the UDP session.

2. char: Upon entering any character, it initiates the session. (Login string is associated with

this mode, so we need to enter the login string if it is not NULL to initiate the session).

3. dtr-char: Either of the above cases.

4. none: No dependency, the module initiates the session as soon as it boots up.

Notes:

1. More than one Dial-in session cannot be opened at a time.

2. No Authentication support.

3. When, escape-monitor is enabled, care should be taken during data transfer for Escape

string occurrence in the data.

4. Raw mode is not applicable.
