The iServer is a stand alone Ethernet Server designed to connect devices with serial interfaces to the Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol. It contains Ethernet and RS232/RS485 interfaces.

It can be purchased as a stand alone DIN Rail mounted unit (-D), as a bench/wall mount unit (-W) or as an PC Board (-PCB) for an Embedded iServer.

The standard features include:

• Use standard Web Browser, TCP connection, HTTPget DOS program or Telnet Simulation, for network connectivity.

• Install via RS232/RS485 serial port connection.

•

Transfer data from RS232/RS485 serial interface to TCP/IP using built-in socket server.

• Use a standard home page or customize Web page for OEM applications.

2.4 Serial Communication Interfaces

Two communication interfaces are supported in the iServer: RS232 and RS485. These standards define the electrical characteristics of a communication network. The RS485 port of the iServer is fully compatible to use with RS485 instruments.

• The RS232 standard (point-to-point) allows a single device to be connected to an iServer.

The iServer operates with full-duplex RS232 using eight wires:

Rx-receive, Tx-transmit, DTR, DSR, DCD, CTS, RTS and common ground wires.

RS232 cable length is limited to 50 feet.

• The RS485 standard (multi-point) allows one or more devices (multi-dropped) to be connected to the iServer using a two-wire connection (half-duplex) +Rx/+Tx and –Rx/-Tx.

Use of RS485 communications allows up to 31 devices to connect to the iServer with cable length up to 4000 feet long.

Although the RS485 is commonly referred to as a "two wire" connection, the iServer also provides a ground/return shield connection to use as a common connection for EMI noise protection.

Table 2.2 shows the differences between RS232 and RS485 communication interfaces.

RS485 interface uses a two-wire communication system (one for transmitting and one for receiving) plus a common wire to connect to the shield of the cable. It is recommended to use a shielded cable with one twisted pair.

Use of twisted pair and shield will significantly improve noise immunity.

RS485 interface can use two pairs of wire (four-wire) communication system (one pair for transmitting and one for receiving) plus a common wire to connect to the shield of the cable. It is recommended to use a shielded cable with one twisted pair.

Use of twisted pair and shield will significantly improve noise immunity.

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces

2.5.1 10/100BASE-T RJ-45 Pinout

The 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network system is used in the iServer for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data signals. This means that four pins of the eight-pin connector are used.

Pin Name Description

1 +Tx + Transmit Data 2 -Tx - Transmit Data 3 +RX + Receive Data 4 N/C Not Connected 5 N/C Not Connected 6 -Rx - Receive Data 7 N/C Not Connected 8 N/C Not Connected

Figure 2.15 RJ45 Pinout

For compliance at 100 Mbps: use shielded cable, opposite end of cable must be grounded.

2.5.2 Connecting iServer to PC/Hub/Switch/Router

The iServer’s Ethernet interface can automatically detect the Rx and Tx lines on a twisted pair Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX Auto Cross). Therefore, to connect an iServer to a PC/Hub/Switch/Router, either a straight-through or a cross-over cable can be used.

On certain devices (like iServer), it is possible for the hardware to automatically correct errors in cable selection, making the distinction between a “straight-through” cable and a “cross-over” cable unimportant. This capability is known as “Auto MDI/MDIX”.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

3.1 Network Protocols

The iServer can be connected to an Ethernet network using standard IP protocols including TCP, UDP, SNMP, SMTP, ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS, Telnet, and Modbus TCP/IP.

3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address

MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hardware number for Ethernet devices like computers, network switches, print servers, etc. When you're connected to an Ethernet LAN using a computer you can see a table of IP addresses called “ARP table” stored on that computer that matches IP addresses of devices on the network to their corresponding MAC addresses. The MAC address can be found on a label attached to your device which contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers.

For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B

On the iServer, you can remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put your IP address. See figure below.

For the PCB iServer version, there is an duplicate MAC address label included with your unit.

Figure 3.1 Labeling

Page 26

3.3 DHCP

DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, enables computers and network devices to receive their IP configurations from a DHCP server.

If DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer that is connected to the network is powered on, there will be an exchange of information between the iServer and the DHCP server. As result, the DHCP server will assign an IP address, a Gateway address, a Subnet Mask, and a DNS address to the iServer. Note that the DHCP server must be correctly configured to make such assignments.

The iServer is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP function must be disabled. The DHCP can be enabled by accessing the iServer’s web server and selecting

Network option (refer to Section 4.4.2).

1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server, before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.

2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.

3.4 DNS

DNS, Domain Name System, enables computers and devices to be recognized over a network based on a specific name instead of IP addresses.

For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use http://eit0a0b or any name up to eight alphanumeric characters defined as a Host Name in the iServer’s web server.

The default Host Name for an iServer is "eit" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.

On Windows servers where DHCP and DNS are separate functions it’s very important to configure DHCP server to communicate with DNS in order for the iServer’s Host Name to correctly respond. If you cannot access the iServer using its Host Name, please contact your network administrator to make sure DHCP and DNS servers are linked together

3.5 IP Address

Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer itself and the serial device connected to the iServer’s serial port. All network devices like computers that use TCP/IP protocol to communicate with each other should have a unique 32-bit address called IP address.

The IP address is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same network uses the same network ID. At the same time, all of them have different host IDs.

For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

Page 27

3.6 TCP Port (Socket) Number

All TCP connections are defined by an IP address and a port number. A port number is an internal address that provides a TCP/IP interface between an application software on a computer and a device on the network.

There are three default TCP port (socket) numbers assigned to the iServer:

1. Port 1000: Once a TCP connection is made to the iServer using port 1000, the iServer will forward the connection to the serial device and it will take the response from the serial device and send it out to the network. The iServer will then close the TCP connection. Refer to Section 4.4.3.2 Network-to-Serial for more details.

2. Port 2000: Once a TCP connection is made to the iServer using port 2000 (or any port number that is configured on the iServer), the iServer will forward the connection to the serial device and it will take the response from the serial device and send it out to the network. The iServer will never close the TCP connection until the host who initiated the connection closes it.

3. Port 2002: This port is the iServer’s network console port for reading or changing the iServer’s settings. This can be done using a Telnet application.

Example: C:\>Telnet 192.168.1.200 2002

OPERATIONS

This iServer can be configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser like Netscape, Internet Explorer, or Firefox to access its Web server. It can also be configured using a TCP connection to port 2002 using a command line interface. NEWPORT’s iConnect Configuration Software can also be used to find and configure the iServer over the Ethernet.

4.1 Default IP Address

The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254).

Your PC’s IP address cannot be the same as the iServer’s IP address.

You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a good way to access the iServer over the network and make any configuration changes needed.

If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, connect the iServer directly to your computer using a CAT5 Ethernet cable (either straight or cross-over cable will be detected by the iServer) and proceed as described above.

To verify a good connection to the iServer, from a DOS prompt on your computer type “ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. You should get a reply as shown in

Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1 Pinging the iServer from a DOS Prompt

4.3 Assigning an IP Address Using Serial Port

Once you know the IP address that you need to put on your iServer you can use a serial connection (using a Terminal Emulation program like HyperTerminal) to assign the IP address to the iServer.

You need to make sure to setup the following COM port parameters on your terminal emulation program (i.e. HyperTerminal).

Baud Rate - 9600 b/s Data Bit - 8 bits Parity - None Stop Bit - 1 bit Flow Control - None Local Echo - Enable Line Feeds - Enable

Setting the IP address over the serial port requires a crossed-over (null modem) serial cable and HyperTerminal or any terminal emulation program.

When all the connections are done, press the Reset button or reset the power on the iServer.

In the HyperTerminal Window hold the “Ctrl” key down and press the a key three times.

A command prompt (EIT>) will appear on the screen. To assign an IP address to the iServer:

Type s –IPx.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP address). Type s –GWx.x.x.x and s –SMx.x.x.x to assign Gateway and Subnet mask. Type c to save the settings. Type q to exit the page.

You will be asked to save the settings by typing Y and the iServer will restart with the new IP Address.

You can access the iServer’s complete settings by connecting the iServer’s serial port to your PC’s COM port using a null-modem cable.

Bring up a terminal emulation program (i.e. HyperTerminal) and make sure the right COM port is selected and the serial communications settings (baud rate, character bit, stop bit and parity) match the iServer’s serial port.

Power on the iServer and press the Enter key within 5 seconds of powering the iServer. The iServer will then transmit its complete configurations to the PC.

All that is left for you to do is to use a straight/normal network cable to connect the iServer to an Ethernet hub and power it up.

Then you can go to your computer that is connected to the same network and from the MS-DOS-Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.70" where 192.168.1.70 is the new IP address for the iServer.

4.4.2 Network

This page provides configurations for the Ethernet interface and TCP/IP parameters. Fields are described below.

Figure 4.8 iServer NETWORK Page

DHCP – If the box is checked the iServer will dynamically request an IP address, a

subnet mask, a gateway address, and a DNS address from the DHCP server. By default the DHCP option is disabled.

For more information about DHCP, see Section 3.3. MAC Address – This Indicates the hardware address of the iServer and it’s non-

configurable. For more information about MAC Address, see Section 3.2. IP Address – This indicates the IP address of the iServer. The iServer’s default IP

address is 192.168.1.200. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

Page 35

4.4.2 Network (continued)

Subnet Mask – A 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP

address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed. The iServer’s default Subnet Mask is

255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.

Gateway Address – This points to the router that forwards traffic to a destination address outside of the subnet on which the iServer resides. This is the IP address of the router which functions as a gateway. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed. The iServer’s default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

DNS Address – In order to use the iServer’s DNS feature, the DNS server on your network must be configured. That allows the iServer to use a host’s domain name to access the Ethernet node. The iServer plays the role of a DNS client, in the sense that the iServer will actively query the DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed. The iServer’s default DNS address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Host Name – If the DHCP is enabled the iServer will send this name to the DHCP server. This name is used so the iServer can be accessed based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead of using http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use http://eit0a0b or any name up to eleven alphanumeric characters. The default Host Name for an iServer is "eit" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.

On Windows servers where the DHCP and DNS are separate functions it’s very important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with the DNS in order for the iServer’s Host Name to correctly respond. If you cannot access the iServer using its Host Name, please contact your network administrator to make sure the DHCP and DNS servers are linked together.

Protocol – It’s the network protocol the iServer communicates with the Ethernet Network. Options are TCP, UDP, and ModbusTCP. The default is TCP.

Web Server Port – The default port is 80. This is the primary port number for the HTTP protocol used for communication between internet browsers and web sites/web servers. Web servers open this port then listen for incoming connections from web browsers. Similarly, when a web browser is given an IP address (like the iServer’s IP address), it assumes that the iServer’s web server is listening for connections on port 80.

If this port is changed to anything but 80 then on the browser the new port number must be indicated with a colon (:) after the IP address. For example, if the Web Server Port is changed to 500, you will then need to type http://192.168.1.200:500 on the browser to access the iServer’s web server.

One of the applications where the Web Server Port number may need to change is when users want to access the iServer’s web server from outside the local area network (i.e. Internet). By setting up “Port Forwarding” inside a router that is the gateway to that local area network this task can be accomplished. “Port Forwarding” technique uses the Web Server Port number to forward the Internet connection to the iServer on the LAN.

Ethernet Port – Is the link, in terms of speed and duplex, between the iServer and another Ethernet device like an Ethernet switch.

If Auto-Negotiation box is checked, the iServer will auto-negotiate the speed and duplex with the attached Ethernet device. This occurs at iServer power up.

If any of the other options selected, the speed and duplex will be fixed. It’s important to have the same Ethernet port configuration on the iServer and the attached Ethernet device.

If iServer cannot auto-negotiate with the attached Ethernet node it will default to 10 Mbps and Half-Duplex. Once Auto-Negotiation is checked, other fields under this category will be dimmed. By default the Auto-Negotiation is checked.

If the iServer detects the link to be 100 Mbps the first LED will be solid green.

Telnet Setup Compatibility – parameter values of the telnet and serial console will match the EIT Standard or partial EIS compatibility. See Section 4.5 for more information. Default is EIT Standard.

4.4.3 Serial

These pages provide configurations for the iServer’s serial port as well as different techniques for bridging data between serial and Ethernet ports (see Figures 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12). Fields are described below.

Baud Rate – This indicates the speed of the iServer’s serial port. Options are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, and 460800 bits/s. The default is 9600 bits/s.

Data Bits – This Indicates the number of bits in a transmitted serial packet. Options are 7 and 8. The default is 8.

Parity – This checks the serial packet for the parity bit. Options are Even, Odd, and None. The default is None.

Stop Bit – This indicates the end of transmission. Options are 1 and 2. The default is 1. Flow Control – This handles the data flow between the iServer and the attached serial

device to ensure it’s processed efficiently. Too much data arriving before the device can handle it causes lost data. Options are Hardware (using RTS and CTS pins), Software also called Xon/Xoff (using Tx and Rx pins), and None. The default is None.

Figure 4.10 iServer SERIAL Page – Serial Port - RS485

RS485 – This option allows you to set the RS485 to be half or full duplex mode.

Half duplex is 2-wire RS485 and full duplex is 4-wire RS485. The default is 2-Wire (half duplex). If 4-wire is chosen, Timer and Type will be unavailable (grayed-out).

Timer – This option forces the RS485 to be either slave (where it will be only transmitting data on the serial port) or master mode (where it will be only receiving data on the serial port). The default is 0 msec.

With RS485 connection, the timeout value is used to switch between serial transmit and receive mode. Since the iServer supports 2-wire RS485, it needs to either transmit or receive serial data and the timeout value determines the time interval for each. The range can be from 0 to 9999 msec.

Type – This option allows you to set the time when the RS485 becomes from transmit (slave) to receive (master) mode. The default is Slave.

In most cases the iServer will be acting as a Slave device. Slave option is chosen when a network host needs to connect to the serial port of the iServer. With RS485 connection, the host option is selected if the connection is initiated from the serial device targeting a node on the network.

In order to have a good connection between the iServer and the serial device all serial port parameters (described above) should be the same for the iServer and the serial device.

For example, if the iServer is configured for 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control the serial device must have the exact same settings.

Figure 4.11 iServer SERIAL Page – Network to Serial

Number of Connections – This option allows up to 5 network connections to be

made to the iServer’s serial port. The choices are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. If 1 is selected then only one network connection can be made to the iServer’s serial

port. Any number more than 1 would allow those many network hosts to simultaneously monitor (read only) the traffic on the iServer’s serial port, but only one host would be allowed to write to the serial port.

When selection numbers from 1 to 5, the iServer does not close the TCP connection made by the network host until the host closes it.

When 0 is selected the iServer’s serial port will be closed to all network connections except connections made to port 1000. This means that a network host can open a TCP connection to the iServer’s serial port only by using port 1000.

Once the serial device response back, the iServer will forward the response back to the host and it will then close the TCP connection. The default is 5.

Local Port – This is the port number assigned to the iServer’s serial port for the purpose of TCP, UDP, or ModbusTCP connection. Any number between 500 and 9999 can be used with the exceptions of 1000 and 2002 which are reserved by the iServer for other purposes (port 1000 is described in the previous Section 3.6 TCP Port (Socket) Number and port 2002 is the iServer’s Telnet console port). The default is 2000.

Port number 502 is the default port number for Modbus/TCP protocol. If Modbus/TCP is enabled in the iServer, it’s then suggested to use port 502

for the iServer’s Local Port unless your host software that supports Modbus/TCP indicates otherwise.

Connection Control – (for RS232 only) Options are Not Used, Rise RTS (RTS+), Drop RTS (RTS-), Rise DTR (DTR+), and Drop DTR (DTR-).

If Not Used is selected, then the iServer forwards network connections to its serial port with no conditions.

Some serial devices accept connections based on certain signal conditions. For example, a serial device may accept a connection only if the iServer’s DTR

(connected to the device’s DSR or DCD) is high or low. In this case, when the iServer receives a connection from a networked host, before forwarding it to its serial port the iServer must rise its DTR (when Rise DTR is selected) or it must lower its DTR (when Drop DTR is selected). The default is Not Used.

4.4.3.3 Packing Techniques (continued)

End Character – When this hexadecimal character is received by the iServer on its

serial port, the iServer will forward the buffered serial data to the Ethernet. The default value is 0, which means the iServer requires no End Character to

forward the data to the network. Forward End Character – If this option is checked, the iServer will send the End

Character out to the Ethernet as part of the data. If unchecked, the iServer will not count the End Character as part of the data and will

drop it. The default is unchecked. Buffering Time – This forces the iServer to buffer the received serial data for the

give time value. This option defines the time interval during which the iServer stores the serial data in its buffer before sending it out to the network.

Depending on users’ applications, this time must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baud rate.

For example, assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits and the time required to transfer one character is:

(10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/sec) ) * 1000 (msec/sec) = 8.3 msec. Therefore, the Buffering Time must be larger than 8.3 msec. If the interval is set to be too long (counting the baud rate in the equation) and

therefore the iServer’s buffer approaches to get full, the iServer will override the specified time and will push the data out to the network before the buffer is full.

The default is 500 milliseconds. Packet Length – If the received data length (in bytes) matches the entered value,

the data will be sent out to the network. The data length of up to 1024 bytes can be entered. Enter 0 if you don’t need to limit the length. The default is 0.

Inactivity Timeout – This option impacts Network-to-Serial and Serial-to-Network connections.

The iServer will drop the TCP connection if there is no activity before the defined time expires. If 0 is selected there won’t be any timeout. The default is 0 seconds.

Disconnect – (for RS232 only) This option impacts serial-to-network connections. The choices are None, on DSR Drop (EIS: DSR+), on DSR Rise (EIS: DSR-), on

CTS Drop (EIS: CTS+), on CTS Rise (EIS: CTS-), on DCD Drop (EIS: DCD+), and on DCD Rise (EIS: DCD-).

The iServer will not disconnect the network connection under any circumstances if None is selected.

If on DSR/DCD/CTS Rise is selected, the iServer will disconnect the network connection when its DSR/DCD/CTS signal is risen.

When on DSR/DCD/CTS Drop is selected, the iServer will disconnect the network connection if its DSR/DCD/CTS signal is dropped.

The default is None.

Connection Type – The options are Disable, Simultaneous, and Sequential. The

iServer can send the received serial data to multiple network hosts Simultaneously or Sequentially.

In Simultaneous mode, the received serial data will be transmitted to all the network nodes that are indicated in the host table (using TCP or UDP protocol depending on which protocol is selected under the NETWORK page).

In Sequential mode, the iServer scrolls through the IP addresses in the host table until it connects to one. After a successful connection, the iServer stops trying to connect to any others. If this connection fails, the iServer continues to scroll through the table until the next successful connection takes place.

Each entry in the host table should contain an IP address and a port number. The default is Disable.

Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, it is a protocol that provides a way for users (or clients) to connect to computers (or servers) on a network, whether in the next building or across the other side of the world.

You can open a Telnet session using other terminal emulation programs like Tera Term Pro (downloadable from the internet), which is a free software for MSWindows. It supports VT100 emulation, Telnet connection and serial port connection.

Once the Telnet mechanism is decided we can open a session by simply typing the IP address of the iServer, and setting the Port on 2002 for logging into the iServer Configuration page, or 2000 for accessing the serial device connected to the iServer’s serial port.

4.6 HTTPget Program

You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPget program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server firmware by using TCP port “1000”. The command sends this string to TCP port 1000 and reads back the response from the same port. Whatever you write to the port goes to the serial port unmodified. Any response from the serial port can be read back from the same socket.

The HTTPget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file will be automatically installed when you install the Mail Notifier software available on our website.

Example to use the HTTPget program:

1. Create a directory C:\iServer\HTTPget

2. Copy HTTPget.exe and readme_features.doc files to this directory.

3. Make sure that you are in this directory and then enter the following test program:

C:\iServer\httpget>httpget –r –S "*01X01\r" 192.168.1.200:1000

where: –r –S are parameters needed for the command string *01 is device address (in hex format) for RS485 communication interface

(skip for RS232)

X01 read measurement data value (iSeries protocol) \r is the carriage return termination character

192.168.1.200 is an IP address 1000 is a local port number

Response: 01X01074.3

where: 01X01 is Echo command

074.3 is a display reading of the 4-digit device

In the example above the 4-digit iSeries controller has been connected to the serial communication port of iServer.

4.7 ARP Protocol

ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC (hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer (residing on the same network) or remote computer (residing on the different network) through a router.

Microsoft includes the ARP.EXE utility for viewing and modifying the ARP cache with its Windows products. The following ARP commands can be used to view cache entries:

• arp –a ➞ Use this command to view all ARP cache entries.

• arp –a plus IP address ➞ Use this command to view ARP cache entries

associated with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.

• arp –g ➞ Same as arp –a.

• arp –N ➞ Use this command to display ARP entries for specific network

interface.

• arp – s plus IP address plus Physical address ➞ Use this command to

manually add a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.

• arp –d ➞ Use this command to manually delete a static entry.

Ping the destination computer using IP address first before using the arp -a command.

The following window shows examples of arp commands and responses.

• Your computer has an IP

address of 192.168.1.118

• The destination computer

has an IP address of

192.168.1.96

4.8 Remote Access (Tunneling)

192.168.1.50

192.168.1.49

To "tunnel", in this context, is to transmit data between two points through a private conduit on a shared or public network. The network could be an Ethernet LAN, a WAN, or the Internet. The iServer allows for a connection between a serial device and a PC, or between two serial devices, using an existing network rather than dedicated wiring.

Today, there are number of serial devices like sensors, gauges, PLCs, card readers, security alarms, barcode scanners, data loggers, video cameras, ATM machines, time & attendance terminals, medical lab equipments, electronic signboards, and many others that are directly connected to PCs via their serial ports. These devices can be attached to shared Ethernet networks (TCP/IP protocol) and get accessed, controlled, and managed remotely using the iServer products.

Any two iServer’s can talk to each other over the Ethernet LAN, WAN, and Internet using TCP/IP protocol. Therefore, the connected serial devices to iServer’s can also communicate with each other back and forth over these networks. This characteristic is called Tunneling and it’s illustrated in Figures 4.31 and 4.32.

Figure 4.31a Serial Tunneling -

Figure 4.31b Serial Tunneling - Embedded PCB

Page 61

4.8 Remote Access (Tunneling) (continued)

Figure 4.32 Device-to-Device Communication

In order to use this Tunneling feature, some settings are required within the local and remote iServer’s.

4.8.1 Remote iServer

It’s recommended to configure the Remote iServer and have it up and running before the Local iServer is configured.

1. A static IP address must be assigned to the Remote iServer. This means that the

DHCP must remain disabled. Refer to the DHCP section of the user’s manual for details.

2. Use a browser to access the Remote iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the

iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.50) followed by an Enter key. You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.

3. Click on the OK button after entering the LOGIN password.

4. On the SERIAL page, under Serial Port section (see Figure 4.9 or 4.10) make

sure the parameters: Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, and Flow Control match the serial communication settings of your attached serial device.

5. Under Packing Techniques section (see Figure 4.12) make sure to set the End

Character (Hex) to 00 and the Buffering Time is set to 0.

6. Under Network-to-Serial section (see Figure 4.11) set Number of Connections

to 1 or higher.

7. Click on Save button for the changes to take place. Make sure that the serial cable and communication settings between the iServer and

the serial device are valid.

Page 62

4.8.2 Local iServer

1. An IP address should be assigned to the iServer dynamically or statically

(recommended).

2. Use a browser to access the Local iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the

iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.49) followed by an Enter key. You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.

3. Click on the OK button after entering the LOGIN password.

4. Click on NETWORK page, you will be prompted with a Password (default is

00000000).

5. On the SERIAL page, under Serial Port section (see Figure 4.9 or 4.10), make

sure the parameters: Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, and Flow Control match with your attached serial device and its application software.

6. Under Packing Techniques section (see Figure 4.12), make sure to set the End

Character (Hex) to 00 and the Buffering Time to 0.

7. Under Multi-host section (see Figure 4.33), set the Connection Type to

Simultaneous/ Sequential, enter the Remote IP address (would be the IP address of the remote iServer, 192.168.1.50), and use the default Remote Port number 2000.

Set Retry Counter to anything more than 0 and set the Retry Timeout to a desired value.

If the tunneling connection between the two iServers goes down due to network problems, power failure, etc., the Sequential connection type option will enable the Local iServer to reconnect with the Remote iServer based on the specified time interval in the Retry Timeout.

For example, based on a timeout of 10000 (10 seconds), the Local iServer will continually attempt to reconnect and reestablish the tunnel with the Remote iServer every 10 seconds.

9. Click on Save button for the changes to take place.

10. Initialize the serial device application software to establish the connection.

4.8.3 Tunneling Troubleshooting

Serial Device Software

Serial Cable (RS232)

Using the original serial cable, please confirm valid communication between the serial device and its application software on the PC with no iServers in between (direct serial connection). Otherwise, reset the power, first on the remote iServer and then on the local iServer and recheck for Connection type drop down menu as simultaneous.

A quick way to check the LAN and serial tunneling connection is to separately access each iServer WEB page via the Ethernet. If successful, this should prove a valid LAN connection.

For serial tunneling, open a HyperTerminal session on the PC pointing to the same COM port to which the Local iServer is connected and type/send some characters. This should cause the Rx Receive LED on the Local iServer to blink as it receives the data from the serial port and onto the LAN. Accordingly, the Tx Transmit LED on the Remote iServer should blink as it transmits the data from the LAN into the serial device. If no LEDs blink, then that could possibly point to the iServer connection in trouble - particularly, the serial cabling and/or the serial settings (Baud rate, stop bit, parity, etc.) throughout the communication path between the PC, the iServer, and the serial device.

4.9 iPORT, COM Port Redirector

To obtain the iPORT software (iPORT.exe file) please use the phone number, as listed on the cover of this manual, to contact the Sales Department nearest you.

To install the iPORT application, simply double-click on the iPORT.exe file and follow the installation steps. The iPORT is compatible with Windows NT, 2000, and XP operating systems.

4.9.1 iPORT Overview

The iPORT is a COM port redirecting software for Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Its function is to redirect connections that are destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC, to an iServer network-enabling device on the LAN.

In a direct serial connection, application software can communicate directly over an RS232 or RS485 with a serial device (Figure 4.34).

Figure 4.34 Direct Serial Connection

By installing iPORT software on the same PC, the iPORT will redirect the serial connection from the COM port to the network port on that PC. The connection can simply reach the serial device through an iServer sitting anywhere on an Ethernet network (Figure 4.35).

This connection redirection is totally transparent to the serial device and its application software. Once the connection is up from the PC to the serial device, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network to the serial device and back from the serial device to the PC, all through the iServer and the iPORT.

Figure 4.35a Redirect Serial Connection

4.9.2 iPORT Configurations

After the iPORT is successfully installed on your windows machine, you will have an iPORT icon on your desktop and Control Panel window. By double-clicking on this icon, you can start the application and the iPORT main window will appear on your screen, see Figure 4.36.

Click on "COM Ports" button and you will see the window shown in Figure 4.37. Select the appropriate COM port (this should be the same COM port that your application software uses). The selected COM port will then appear on the main iPORT window. By highlighting the selected COM port, you will be able to add the IP address and the port number to connect that COM port to the iServer on the network.

Up to 255 COM ports can be selected and each can have a different IP configuration pointing to different iServers on the network. This enables users to simultaneously redirect different application software to connect to serial devices attached to networked iServers.

iServer IP Address – This is the IP address of the iServer that is connected to the

serial device on one end and attached to the Ethernet LAN on the other end. The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200, which can be changed to fit your network IP address range (see Section 4).

iServer Port Number – This is the port number for the iServer’s local serial port. The default value is 2000. If this port number is changed in the iServer’s Configuration page (see Section 4.4.3.2), the same number should be placed in the iPORT window.

Page 67

4.9.2 iPORT Configurations (continued) Activate – If this box is checked, the selected COM port will be available for network

connection. If it is unchecked, the selected COM port will be in sleep mode. Timeout – This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) in which the iPORT keeps the

application software waiting before the device response is arrived. The default value is 5 seconds and it can be set between 0 to 10 seconds.

Status – This window shows the connection status as the iPORT makes connection to the iServer or disconnects from the iServer. The connection status can be ideal, connecting, connected, or disconnected along with the IP address of the iServer shown in the Status window.

Apply button – To save the configuration for a selected COM port, click on the "Apply" button and reboot your PC for settings to take place in your Windows registry.

Clear button – This button deletes the settings for a selected COM port. Cancel button – This button closes the iPORT window without saving the settings.

In Figure 4.36, if a COM port number is dimmed and cannot be selected, it means that the COM port is already used by another application or it could be a physical serial COM port on that PC.

The serial communication settings (baud rate, data bit, stop bit and parity) of your application software must be identical to the serial communication settings of the iServer’s serial port and your serial device’s port connected to the iServer. You can use a Web browser to log into the iServer and configure its serial port’s settings (see Section 4.4.3).

APPENDIX A GLOSSARY

User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions: ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address

(IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long. (The physical machine address is also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address.) A table, usually called the ARP cache, is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. ARP provides the protocol rules for making this correlation and providing address conversion in both directions.

Ethernet is a network protocol defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet-based networks use MAC Address rather then IP Address to exchange data between computers. By using ARP and adding TCP/IP support, Ethernet devices may be connected as part of the Internet. An Ethernet LAN typically uses coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are called 10/100BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps. Devices are connected to the cable and compete for access using a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol.

IP (Internet Protocol) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet.

IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.

IP Netmask is a 32-bit pattern of bits used to determine which part of the IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion.

MAC (Media Access Control) Address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the Internet from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

Ping is a utility that tests the network connectivity. It is used to determine if the host is capable of exchanging information with another host.

Port number/Socket number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. It is a predefined address that serves as a route from the application to the Transport layer or from the Transport layer to the application of the TCP/IP system.

Sockets are a method for communication between a client program and a server program in a network and defined as "the endpoint in a connection." Information transferred across the Internet primarily occurs between sockets.

SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an Internet standard for electronic mail (email) transfer across the Internet. SMTP clients usually use SMTP to send email messages by specifying the SMTP server. The email server uses SMTP to both send and receive email messages.

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a network monitoring protocol to monitor devices connected to an Ethernet Network.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP. TCP/IP often is used as a general term to indicate generic access to the Internet.

Terminating Resistor is a resistor placed at the extreme end or ends of the RS-485 serial cable (across the -Tx/Rx and +Tx/Rx). On one end where the iServer is connected a 120-ohm terminating resistor is built in internally therefore there is no need for termination. However, on the end where the RS-485 device is connected, if the device does not have an internal terminating resistor you should connect a 120-ohm resistor across the -Tx/Rx and +Tx/Rx wires (see Wiring RS485 Interface Section). Lack of termination can cause data corruption due to electrical noise sensitivity. The value of the terminating resistor is ideally the same value as the characteristic impedance of the cable (typically, 120 ohms for twisted pairs).

Appendix B IP Address

An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes:

• A network ID number identifying a network.

• A host ID number identifying a computer on the network.

All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C

• Class A addresses have 8-bits of network ID and 24-bits of host ID. They can

support a large number of hosts, approximately 2 = 16,777,216 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 00000001.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

to 01111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 1.x.x.x to 127.x.x.x

Class A network ID’s support a very large number of hosts.

• Class B addresses have 16-bits of network ID and 16-bits of host ID. They can

support approximately 216= 65,536 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 10000000 00000000.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

to 10111111 11111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 128.0.x.x to 191.255.xxx.xxx

Class B network ID’s support a medium number of hosts.

• Class C addresses have 24-bits of network ID and 8-bits of host ID. They can

support approximately 2

= 256 computers per network.

The IP addresses range in binary from 11000000.00000000.00000000.xxxxxxxx

to 11011111.11111111.11111111.xxxxxxxx

The IP addresses range in decimal from 192.0.0.xxx to 223.255.255.xxx

Class C network ID’s support a small number of hosts.

The rest of the addresses are divided into two classes, D and E. Class D networks are not assigned to the host. They are used for multicasting. The address range from 224.x.x.x to 239.x.x.x

Class E networks are experimental or reserved addresses. The address range from 240.x.x.x to 247.x.x.x

Page 78

Appendix C IP Netmask

IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID. The table below shows a default subnet mask for address Classes A, B, and C. Each bit that is set to "1" in the subnet mask corresponds to the bit in the IP address that is to be used as the network ID. Each bit that is set to "0" in the subnet mask corresponds to a bit in the IP address that is to be used as the host ID.

Address Class Mask Binary Value Mask Decimal Value

00000000 00000000 00000000

If your network requires more network ID’s, you can extend the default subnet mask to include additional bits from the host ID. This allows for additional network ID’s within the network. The table below shows some examples of subnet masks and bits moved from the hosts ID to create a new subnet.
