1.3 Description
The iServer Internet Counter puts “dumb” data on the World Wide Web. This revolutionary
technology transmits virtually any conventional counting application up to 500 KHz over an
Ethernet network or the Internet.
This iServer can count contacts from the simplest button or switch, as well as count
pulses from most any conventional transducer such as a proximity sensor or quadrature
encoder. The iServer converts raw data to intelligent information.
The iServer can be configured as a virtual version of most any Rate/Frequency Meter,
Totalizer, or Batch Controller. It is a node on an Ethernet network with a unique IP
address and serves the data to any authorized computer on a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
Set points can be programmed to trigger an alarm and even send email automatically to a
Web-enabled cell phone.
No special software or drivers are required. A user can type the unit’s IP address (or
assigned name) on the address line of a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer. The
device then serves actual JAVA based active Web pages that present the information
numerically and graphically.
The iServer supports the common Ethernet/Internet Protocols: TCP, UDP, ARP, Telnet,
DHCP, DNS, and HTTP. The device integrates seamlessly with data acquisition and
industrial automation program. The iServer offers password protection for security.
The iServer provides two discrete input/output channels. For applications that use two
inputs, it can perform calculations with the data from channels A and B that can be
presented numerically or graphically, such as charting position on an XY graph.

PART 2 HARDWARE
2.1 Mounting
2.1.1 Mounting the Wall Mount iServer
Position unit where required. Mark and drill holes as required.
If unit is to be mounted on a flat surface, you may take the bottom rubber feet off
the unit.
It is recommended that you ground your unit by wrapping a wire around the
mounting tab screw and tightening a lock washer so that it embeds itself into the
metal of the mounting tab.

2.2 DIP Switches
2.2.1 SW1 DIP Switch Usage
The iServer is shipped with all SW1 DIP switches in "OFF" position.
1) N/C - not used
2) To change to default factory settings
3) To enable/disable DHCP
4) N/C - not used
To set the iServer to factory default settings, slide SW1 DIP switch #2 to ON
position. Power the iServer on and wait about 10 seconds until the iServer fully
boots up. Set the SW1 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 SW1 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.

2.5 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.
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 2.8 RJ45 Pinout
2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s network port, 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 below
.
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.

PART 3
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 a label attached to 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

3.3 DHCP
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 configured correctly to do 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
SW1 DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).

Figure 3.2 SW1 DIP Switch
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 Server 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. 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.
3.5.1 Default IP Address
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 the factory default address is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet
crossover cable between your computer and the iServer and modify 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 socket port numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port (socket) number 1000 when using HTTPGET program.
2. Port (socket) number 2000 when trying to access the device connected to
the port of the iServer to receive signals.
3. Port (socket) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for Power
Recycling the iServer remotely. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet
application. Refer to Section 4.8 for more information.

PART 4
OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s
preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape
or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT
Configuration Software. In addition to iServer operation, it can also be used in Telnet
simulation mode where it emulates serial communication operation over a network cable
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the
right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are done for you by your network
DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to use a straight network cable to
connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
Instead of connecting the iServer directly to your network, you can configure your
PC’s network connection with an IP address (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.
Go to your computer that is connected to the same network and from the MS-DOS Prompt
window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used
type “ping eisxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address,
located on the device (see Figure 3.1). You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.

This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode
using the Telnet or Web browser.

4.1 iCONNECT Software
The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software.
a) Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual.
b) Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows
95, NT, 2000, and XP.
c) Use iCONNECT to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages for
configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the iServer’s web
pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.
Place the IP address in this box
Take the MAC address from the
label attached to the bottom of
the iServer and place it in this
box

4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network
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 a Web browser and type in
http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.
Select Access Control button, you’ll be asked for the password. The default Login
password is "12345678" and the Admin password is "00000000", then you should be on
the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and
click Save.
