2.2.1 DIP Switch Usage
The iServer is shipped with all DIP switches in "OFF" position. 1 To change the IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask from the serial port
2 To change to default factory settings 3 To enable/disable DHCP 4 To enable/disable Terminal Server function
To set the iServer to factory default settings, slide DIP switch #2 to ON position. Power the iServer on and wait about 10 seconds until the iServer fully boots up. Set the DIP switch #2 back to OFF position (it does not matter if the iServer is powered ON or OFF, just make sure that the DIP switch is set to OFF, otherwise, every time the unit is power-cycled the factory settings will take over.
To enable the DHCP, besides using DIP switch #3, set the iServer’s IP address to 0.0.0.0. An iServer with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will request an IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask from the DHCP server over the Ethernet.

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 RS485 is an extended version of the RS422 communication standard which increases the allowable number of devices from 10 to 32 by improving the electrical characteristics.
• 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.

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces
2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer for network connectivity. The 10 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.

Figure 2.8 RJ45 Pinout
2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer, and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown on Figure 2.9.
Figure 2.9 10Base-T Crossover Cable Wiring
Use straight through cable for connecting the iServer to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the hub are already crossed.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
3.1 Network Protocols
The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be found on the label of your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex
For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put your IP address. See Figure 3.1

4 3 2 1

4 3 2 1
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address, the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP server. Note that the DHCP server must be correctly configured to make such assignment.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).
DIP switch # 3 shown in “ON” position
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of iServer
Setting the iServer’s IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or any eight character name stored as Host Name under Access Control page in the iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
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. On Novell networks or Windows 2000 where the DCHP is an updated function of DNS this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can be assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in Section 3.4.
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’s serial port. Every computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It 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 a different host ID. For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

Telnet 192.168.1.200
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 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 address is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover cable between your computer and the iServer to change the IP address or any other settings within the iServer.
3.6 Port Number
All TCP connections are defined by the IP address and a port number. A port number is an internal address that provides an interface between an application running on your computer and the network through the TCP/IP protocol.
There are three default TCP port (socket) numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port (socket) number 1000 when using HTTPget program (see Section 4.8).
2. Port (socket) number 2000 when trying to access your serial device connected to the serial port of the iServer.
3. Port (socket) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for reading or changing the settings. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet application.
Power recycling the iServer can also be done through the iServer’s Web Server (see Section 4.2).
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 world.

OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be used in Telnet simulation mode where it emmulates serial communication operation over a network cable or directly from a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using the iConnect Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, you do not need to worry about IP address, MAC address, or network conflicts, all of these issues are solved for you by your network DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iServer (see Section 2.2) and use a straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iServer’s default IP address (192.168.1.200) and connect to the iServer using a cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the iServer. After you’re done with configuring the iServer, you can always set your PC back to its original settings.
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
You can use the host name (eisxxxx) instead of its IP address only if your DHCP server is configured to communicate with your DNS. Please consult with your IT department for details.
This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode using the Telnet or Web browser.

Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that
is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to the Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s Home Page.

C
Below are the definitions of terms used in the Configuration Page.
Figure 4.12 Configuration
4.3.4.A Serial Communication
Baud Rate: The serial port speed can be set from 300 to 115,200 bits/s (default is 9600
bits/s.)
Data Bit: Options are 7 or 8 (default is 8 bits.) Parity: Options are Odd, Even, and None (default is None.) Stop Bits: Options are 1 and 2 bits (default is 1 bit.) Flow Control: Options are Software Flow Control (Xon/Xoff), Hardware Flow Control
(CTS/RTS), and None (default is None).
23
Page 30
4.3.4.A Serial Communication (continued)
Transceiver: The iServer’s DB9 serial port can either be set to RS232 or two-wire
RS485 (default is RS232).
Modbus/TCP: A widely used protocol mainly in industrial automation applications with default TCP port number of 502 (see Local Port field). The options are Enable and Disable.
If enabled, the Modbus/TCP is the only protocol driven by the iServer on its LAN port. If
disabled, the TCP/IP is the only protocol driven by the iServer on its LAN port (default is disable).
End Character: When the defined Hex 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 00, which forces the iServer to forward the data to the Ethernet as it receives the data on its serial port (this means that the iServer requires NO “end character” to forward the data).
Forward End Char: The options are Enable and Disable. If enabled, the iServer will send the End Character out to the Ethernet as part of the
data. If disabled, the iServer will not count the End Character as part of the data and will drop it (default is enabled.)
Timeout: In RS232 connection, if the iServer does not receive any more serial data within the given time value, the iServer will forward the buffered serial data to the Ethernet.
For example: if the Timeout is set to 200 ms, the iServer will send out the buffered serial data to the LAN, if it does not receive any more data on its serial port for a period of 200 ms.
In 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 ms (default is 0 ms). Serial Port Password: The options are Enable and Disable. The Telnet connection to the iServer’s serial port (default port 2000) can be password
protected if this option is enabled (default is disable). If enabled, the actual password can be placed in the next field.
4.3.4.B Terminal Server
TCP/UDP: The iServer supports TCP and UDP protocol (default is TCP). If UDP is
selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case of Broadcast UDP, the iServer will transmit the serial data to every node on the
network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to
255.255.255.255. The Broadcast UDP is a practical solution when one device needs to communicate
with multiple PC’s or devices over the network (one-to-many connection). In the case of directed UDP, the iServer will transmit the serial data to a specific node
on the network (one-to-one connection). This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to the IP address of that specific node.
24
Page 31
4.3.4B Terminal Server (continued)
Server Type: 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 (default is Slave). With RS485 connection, the Host option is selected if the connection is initiated from the serial device targeting a node on the network.
Number of Connections: The range is from 0 to 5. If 0 is selected, the Terminal Server feature is disabled. This means that no network
connection can be made to the serial port of the iServer. If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the iServer’s serial port. Any number more than 1 would allow the network hosts to monitor (read only) the traffic
on the iServer’s serial port simultaneously, but only one network host would be allowed to read and write (default is 5).
Local Port: This is the port or socket number for the iServer’s serial port. Any number between 500 and 9999 can be defined with the exceptions of 1000 and 2002 which are already used by the iServer for other purposes (default is 2000.)
Port number 502 is the default socket number for Modbus/TCP protocol. If Modbus/TCP is enabled in the iServer, it’s then suggested to use 502 for the Local Port unless your host software that supports Modbus/TCP indicates otherwise.
If your application software is IP enabled, it means that it can open a connection to a node on the network (i.e. iServer with the attached serial device) with an IP address and a port number.
In some cases the application software may not allow you to specify the iServer’s port number (it only allows you to enter the iServer’s IP address). In these cases, you should put 23 in the Local Port field of the iServer. By doing this, the iServer will forward connections that are made to its Ethernet port directly to its serial port.
Connection Control: Some serial devices accept connections or disconnect connections based on certain signal conditions.
For example: a serial device may accept a connection only if the incoming DTR signal (connected to device’s DSR or DCD) is high or low. In this case, when the iServer receives the TCP connection, before it forwards it to its serial port, it must raise its DTR (DTR+) or to lower its DTR (DTR-). The iServer is capable of doing this with any of the hardware or modem control signals (DTR, DSR, DCD, RTS, and CTS).
"Reconnect" is one of the options in the Connection Control menu. This option can be used in the Serial Tunneling described in Section 4.11. If the connection in Serial Tunneling is broken due to network problems, power failure, etc., the Reconnect option will try to get the connection back on line every whatever the "Connection Timeout" is set to.
For example: if the Connection Timeout is set to 1000 x10 ms or 10 seconds, then every 10 seconds the iServer attempts to reconnect and reestablish the serial tunnel to the other network node.
Device No.: Refer to Section 4.3.1
4.3.4.C Remote Access (Tunneling)
Remote Access: This option needs to be enabled when Serial Tunneling is configured.
The Serial Tunneling is explained in detail in Section 4.11.
Changes made in the iServer’s Configuration page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button.
Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their default values.

At the initial entrance to the “Access Control” page you will be prompted for the LOGIN Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.
Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the iServer Home Page menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an Administrator password. The
Figure 4.13 Access Control
default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.
If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.
Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alpha­numeric case-sensitive characters.
If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.
Web Server: This will allow or disallow accessing the iServer’s Web server using an Internet browser (default is enabled.)
Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS. MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is
assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.
26
Page 33
4.3.5 Configure Access Control (continued) IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet. The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.
The DHCP will be enabled in the iServer if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The DHCP can also be enabled by setting the DIP switch # 3 to ON position.
Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address. Subnet Mask: It’s 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. The iServer’s default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.
Changes made in the iServer’s Access Control page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button and Power Recycling the iServer (press Power Recycle button).

Once you know the IP address that you need to put on your iServer you can use a serial connection (Terminal Emulation) to assign the IP address to the iServer.
Setting the IP address over the serial port requires a crossed-over (null modem) serial cable and Hyper Terminal or any terminal emulation program. When all the connections are done, change the DIP switch #1 to "ON" position and press the Reset button or reset the power on the iServer. The Hyper Terminal screen will acknowledge your connection by asking for the command.
Sending three “Control A”
DIP switch # 1 shown in “ON” position

Type "IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and press Enter. The screen will acknowledge that your command was executed. You can also set the iServer’s gateway and subnet mask by typing
"GW=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and "SM=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", respectively. Then type q and press Enter You can now change the DIP switch #1 back to the “OFF” position and reset the power
on the iServer.
You need to make sure to setup the following parameters on your terminal emulation program (i.e. Hyper Terminal)
characters will do the same as setting DIP switch #1 to ON position. Once the “Ctrl A” characters are received by the iServer, the Serial Port will switch to “Command” mode.

Figure 4.15 Setting the IP address via the Serial Port
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 the iServer ON and press the Enter key within 5 seconds of powering the iServer.
The iServer will then transmit its complete configurations to the PC.

This is used to provide dedicated connectivity between computers and serial devices through the iServer over the Ethernet, without dedicated wiring.
The typical Internet protocol consists of a request and a reply to that request. In this situation the server is the Host that generates the request and receives the reply from the device, that gets forwarded to the appropriate party on the network. But there are specific applications where a message is generated by the device, and the server is simply passing the data to the appropriate party on the network, in this situation the server acts as Slave.
Examples are: Attendance Time Clocks, Bar Code Readers, remote Displays or Electronic signboards, etc.
For the iServer to pass the data back and forth between its Serial and Ethernet interfaces, the Terminal Server option needs to be configured as follows (Figure 4.17):
1. Set the Server Type to Slave
2. Set the Number of Connections to 1 or higher.
3. Set the Local Port number to any number from 599 to 9999, except numbers 1000 and 2002.
4. Press the Save button to store the new settings.
From your application software on the host machine, you can now point to the IP address of the iServer and the assigned port number to establish a TCP connection to your serial device connected to the serial port of the iServer.
If DIP switch #4 is
“ON”, Terminal Server function is
always enabled, regardless of the firmware configuration.
By default, this DIP switch is set to “OFF” position.
You have the option to enable the Terminal Server feature either through the firmware or the DIP switch #4.

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 MS-Windows. 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.

4.8 HTTPget Program
The HTTPget software is used to send a single HTTP or TCP request to an iServer product. In contrast, the telnet or Hyperterminal programs allow a continuous connection with multiple requests to be sent to the iServer product.
Generally HTTPget is used for simply programming an IP address to the iServer or for quickly obtaining a reading of from a device.
The iServer product must be configured from the configuration web page so that the "Server Type" value is set to "Command" (this is positioned under the heading of Terminal Server).
The Number of Connections may need to be set to "0" to enable Port 1000 (Port 1000 is for access in a non-standard terminal mode).
To use Port 2000 access (where "2000" is the value stored in "Port"), the Number of Connections should be set to "2" for general usage.
The value of 2 can later be changed to a value from 1 to 5 depending on needs for secure access or fault tolerance.
Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the Number of Connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with our software or with other programs supporting TCPIP communications.
The Port 1000 access can be used with our software and may be needed with some iServer products when you need to view readings from the web page while simultaneously collecting data through TCPIP communications.
4.8.1 HTTPget Program using Port 1000
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 serial device connected to the iServer by using TCP port 1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same port.
The iServer does not add to, or subtract from, the data, it is simply passing it between the network and the serial ports.
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 and CD.
In order to use port 1000, in the Configuration page of the iServer you must set “Number of Connections” to 0.
In this case the port number will change to 1000 regardless of what the port
number already is. Notes on using HTTPget : The HTTPget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or
c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.
1. Open up a command window (or have a DOS window)
a) Click on start menu b) Click on "Run" c) In the dialog box that appears, type "cmd" or "command" and click on "OK" button. d) A command window should now appear.

2. If you now type "httpget" and press the "enter" key, the program options should be displayed.
3. Next run HTTPget with the options displayed below
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.

4.8.2 HTTPget and ARP to Setup Device IP Address
Use the iConnect software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible.
Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command:
arp –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-06-b6
Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:
httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1
where:
0000000” is admin. password. If the password is wrong, the unit will ignore the new IP. If the new IP is taken, you will get the message " New IP is Assigned" after the HTTPget command. The device will reset automatically.
192.168.1.200” is an example of an IP address. It is replaced with IP address suitable for your network
00-03-34-00-06-b6” is replaced with your iServer product MAC address.
4.9 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).
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.

4.10 Remote Access (Tunneling)
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 4.23 and 4.24.
Figure 4.23 Serial Tunneling
Figure 4.24 Device-to-Device Communication
In order to use this Tunneling feature, some settings are required within the local and remote iServer’s.

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 Update button.
4. Click on Configuration, you will be prompted with a Password (default is 12345678).
5. On the Configuration page, under Serial Communication section, make sure the
parameters such as Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, etc. match with your attached serial device.
6. Make sure to set the End Character (Hex) to 00 and the Timeout to 0.
7. Under Terminal Server section, set Number of Connections to 1 or higher.
8. 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.
Figure 4.25
shows the valid values
that need to be set in the Remote iServer. The Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, and Transceiver values depend on what the serial device supports.

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 Update button.
4. Click on Configuration, you will be prompted with a Password (default is 12345678).
5. On the Configuration page, under Serial Communication section, make sure the
parameters such as Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, etc. match with your attached serial device and its application software.
6. Make sure to set the End Character (Hex) to 00 and the Timeout to 0.
7. Under Terminal Server section, set Number of Connections to 0.
8. Under Remote Access section, set the Remote Access to enable, 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.
9. Set Connection Control to Reconnect and set the Connection Timeout to a desired value.
The Reconnect option is used in Serial Tunneling and it applies only to the Local
iServer. If the tunneling connection between the two iServers goes down due to
network problems, power failure, etc., the Reconnect option will enable the Local
iServer to reconnect with the Remote iServer based on the specified time interval in
the Connection Timeout. For example, based on a timeout of 1000 x 10 ms (10
seconds), the Local iServer will continually attempt to reconnect and re-establish the
tunnel with the Remote iServer every 10 seconds.
10. Click on Save button for the changes to take place.
11. Initialize the serial device application software to establish the connection.
Figure 4.26 shows
the valid values that
need to be set in the
Local iServer. The Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, and Transceiver values depend on what the attached device to the iServer supports.

4.10.3 Tunneling Troubleshooting
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).
A successful connection is evident when the Remote Access drop down menu in the Configuration page shows enable. This proves that the Serial Tunnel between the two iServers is up and running. Otherwise, reset the power, first on the remote iServer and then on the local iServer and recheck for Remote Access drop down menu as enable.
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 LED on the Local iServer to blink as it receives the data from the serial port and onto the LAN. Accordingly, the Tx 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.
4.11 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.
4.11.1 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 4.27).
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 4.28). 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.

4.11.2 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 (Figure 4.29).
Click on "COM Ports" button and you will see the window on Figure 4.30. 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.

4.11.2 iPORT Configurations (continued) 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 3.5).
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 4.3.4), the same number should be placed in the iPORT window.
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 4.30, 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 4.3.4.A).

The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions. Users can be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to connections on the Internet.
The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been loaded, the MAPI support should be available.
4.12.1 Installation
The Mail Notifier must be loaded on a computer running Microsoft Windows (versions specified earlier) using an email program that provides MAPI access. Network access must be available between this computer and the iServer. Network access must also be available from this computer to the appropriate email server and from the email server to the recipient’s email server.

The Mail Notifier is compatible with original MS OutlookTMand OutlookTM2002 to 2005. The Mail Notifier will attempt to automatically identify whether the Outlook is a newer
version. A red bar appears under the Mail Notifier splash window to confirm that the detection of the 2002 or newer version is acceptable. With the newer versions, no additional steps should be taken to enable the connection between the Mail Notifier and the Email server.
MS Outlook tends to require that the users respond to a “login box” in order for
email access to be activated for Mail Notifier. Some other email clients may
allow for Mail Notifier to gain access without user login, as may be desired for a
system recovering from a power outage. See the Help files for more
information.

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 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 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.
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.

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 28= 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

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
or Dotted Notation
Class A 255.0.0.0 Class B 255.255.0.0 Class C 255.255.255.0

00000000 00000000 11111111
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.
