3.3 Wiring
3.3.1 Grounding
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground pin on the power module to the grounding
surface prior to connecting devices.
3.3.2 Redundant Power Inputs
The device has two sets of DC power inputs on a 6-pin terminal block located on top of the
device. Follow the steps below to wire the power input on the terminal block.
Step 1: insert the negative/positive wires into the V-/V+ terminals, respectively.
Step 2: to keep the wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the
wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
3.4 Connection
3.4.1 Cables
10/100BASE-T(X) Pin Assignments
The device has a standard Ethernet port. According to the link type, the device uses CAT 3,
ATTENTION
1. Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
devices.
2. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common
wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current
allowable for each wire size.
3. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
4. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring
and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
5. Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
6. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine
which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring
sharing similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together
7. You should separate input wiring from output wiring
8. It is advised to label the wiring to all devices in the system
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been switched off or
the area is known to be non-hazardous. The devices may only be
connected to the supply voltage shown on the type plate.

Label
Description
Port Alias
Port alias enables the device server to easily identify the serial
devices connected to it. Enter an identifying name to be
identified by the connected device.
Baud rate
Baud rate is the rate at which data is transferred over a serial
link. When setting the baud rate to 9600bps, the serial port will
transfer a maximum of 9600 bits per second. You can select a
baud rate from the drop-down list which ranges from 110bps to
460800bps
Parity
Parity is a simple form of error detection which guards data on
the cable between the connected devices and the serial port.
Available options include:
None: parity checking is not performed and the parity bit is not
transmitted.
Odd: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an odd number of
mark bits.
Even: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an even number of
mark bits.
Mark: the parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition
(logical 1)
Space: the last transmitted data bit will always be a logical 0
Data Bits
Choose the number of data bits to transmit. You can
configure data bits to be 5, 6, 7, or 8. Data is transmitted as a
series of five, six, seven, or eight bits (five and six bit data
formats are used rarely for specialized communications
equipment).
Stop Bits
Choose the number of bits used to indicate the end of a byte.
You can configure stop bits to be 1 or 2(1.5). If Stop Bits is 1.5,
the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to
transfer one bit. Both the computer and the peripheral device
must be configured to transmit the same number of stop bits.
Flow Control
Serial communication consists of hardware flow control and
software flow control, so called as the control is handled by
software or hardware. XOFF and OXN is software flow control
while RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR is hardware flow control.
Page 24
IDS-342GT(+) Series User Manual
ORing Industrial Networking Corp
23
Choose XOFF to tell the computer to stop sending data; then
the receiving side will send an XOFF character over its Tx line
to tell the transmitting side to stop transmitting. Choose XON to
tell the computer to begin sending data again; then the
receiving side will send an XON character over its Tx line to tell
the transmitting side to resume transmitting. In hardware flow
control mode, when the device is ready to receive data, it sends
a CTS (Clear To Send) signal to the device on the other end.
When a device has something it wants to send, it will send a
RTS (Ready To Send) signal and waits for a CTS signal to
come back its way. These signals are sent apart from the data
itself on separate wires.
Interface
Choose an interface for your serial device. Available interfaces
include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485(2-wires), and
RS-485(4-wires),
Performance
Throughput: guarantees highest transmission speed.
Latency: guarantees shortest response time.
Delimiter Settings
Serial to Ethernet / Ethernet to Serial
For advanced data packing options, you can specify delimiters
for Serial to Ethernet and / or Ethernet to Serial
communications. You can define max. 4 delimiters (00~FF,
Hex) for each way. The data will be hold until the delimiters are
received or the option.
Flush Serial to Ethernet data buffer times out. 0 means
disable. Factory default is 0.
Flush Data Buffer After:
The received data will be queuing in the buffer until all the
delimiters are matched. When the buffer is full (4K Bytes) or
after "flush S2E data buffer" timeout the data will also be sent.
You can set the time from 0 to 65535 seconds.
Force TX Interval Time
Force TX interval time is to specify the timeout when no data
has been transmitted. When the timeout is reached or TX buffer
is full (4K Bytes), the queued data will be sent. 0 means
disable. Factory default value is 0.
Service Mode
Virtual COM Mode
Page 25
IDS-342GT(+) Series User Manual
ORing Industrial Networking Corp
24
In Virtual COM Mode, the driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial
device by mapping the port of the serial server serial port to a local COM port on the host
computer. Virtual COM Mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple
hosts can send or receive data by the same serial device at the same time.

The serial device will send a TCP alive-check package in each
defined time interval (Alive Check) to remote host to check the TCP
connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the connection will
be closed and the port will be freed. 0 means the function is
disabled which is the factory default value.
Connect on Startup
The TCP Client will build a TCP connection once the connected
serial device is started.
Connect on Any
Character
The TCP Client will build a TCP connection once the connected
serial device starts to send data.
UDP Mode
Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient as you can unicast or
multicast data from the serial device server to host computers, and the serial device can also
receive data from one or multiple host.

Baud Rate
Choose a baud rate in the range between 110 bps and 460800
bps.
Data Bits
Choose the number of data bits to transmit. You can
configure data bits to be 5, 6, 7, or 8. Data is transmitted as a
series of five, six, seven, or eight bits (five and six bit data
formats are used rarely for specialized communications
equipment).
Stop Bits
Choose the number of bits used to indicate the end of a byte.
You can configure stop bits to be 1 or 2(1.5). If Stop Bits is 1.5,
the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to
transfer one bit. Both the computer and the peripheral device
must be configured to transmit the same number of stop bits.
Parity
Chose the method of detecting errors in transmission. Parity
control bit modes include None, Odd, Even, Mark, and Space.
None: parity checking is not performed and the parity bit is not

Odd: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an odd number of
mark bits.
Even: the number of mark bits in the data is counted, and the
parity bit is asserted or unasserted to obtain an even number of
mark bits.
Mark: the parity bit is always set to the mark signal condition
(logical 1)
Space: the last transmitted data bit will always be a logical 0
Flow Control
Serial communication consists of hardware flow control and
software flow control, so called as the control is handled by
software or hardware. XOFF and OXN is software flow control
while RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR is hardware flow control.
Choose XOFF to tell the computer to stop sending data; then
the receiving side will send an XOFF character over its Tx line to
tell the transmitting side to stop transmitting. Choose XON to tell
the computer to begin sending data again; then the receiving
side will send an XON character over its Tx line to tell the
transmitting side to resume transmitting. In hardware flow
control mode, when the device is ready to receive data, it sends
a CTS (Clear To Send) signal to the device on the other end.
When a device has something it wants to send, it will send a
RTS (Ready To Send) signal and waits for a CTS signal to come
back its way. These signals are sent apart from the data itself on
separate wires.
FaceTX Interval Time
Force TX interval time is to specify the timeout when no data
has been transmitted. When the timeout is reached or TX buffer
is full (4K Bytes), the queued data will be sent. 0 means disable.
Factory default value is 0.
Performance
Throughput: This mode optimized for highest transmission
speed.
Latency: This mode optimized for shortest response time.
