1.3 Product Description
The Web-Smart ICS-10x series Media Converter / Device Server provide to converts Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485
communication interface over Fast Ethernet networking. There are RJ-45/SC connectors and
single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two types of segments to connect easily,
efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET
Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1500 and MC-1500R). It’s time saving expense for user and SI, no need to
replace the existing Serial equipment and software system.
It extends the distance of deploying Serial equipments and hosts. The selectable fiber-Optic wires on the basis of
distance are flexibly provided. Therefore, this product will perfectly satisfy the diverse demands while providing reliable
and efficient network solutions based on the distance and budgets of installation.
The ICS-10x make connected Serial equipment becomes IP-based. That also makes them be able to connect to a
TCP/IP networking immediately. Each Web-Smart converter is able to manage through the Web Interface. The powerful
Web-Smart Media Converter supports Application mode, Serial operation mode connect alarm and IP address, etc.
Management function helps reduce the amount of valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and
locating network problems, otherwise it requires visual inspection of cabling and equipment. Multiple connection options
for large networking environment are available as well.
1.4 Applications
Access Control System – Traditional Installation
Most of the enterprise and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize the entrance identity.
With traditional deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to login server.
With connection to ICS-10x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to be extend over
longer distances via fiber optical interface. The distance can be up to 15km in a local range. Or the ICS-10x can be linked
to a xDSL router to get the internet access capability; the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.

Process Control
To monitor, configure and manage the Robot conveyer including other machines in a manufacturing, PLC (Programmable
Logical Control) is required. The PLC is used to drive above the manufacturing machines process. The ICS-10x can be set
to TCP Server mode and connect the PLC. The administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast
Ethernet intranet to control the PLC, the administrator and workstation. There is no need to be always sets by the side of
the I/O machine.
Figure 1-2 Serial Converter for Factory PLC Application
RTU Data Collect – UDP Mode
Connect with RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) to collect and monitor the data of waves, signal and power utilization. ICS-10x
can be used to set-up UDP mode and send data over Fast Ethernet to Local server or over internet to remote server
automatically.

by having a remote host with web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or Mozilla Firefox.
Using this management method:
The ICS-10x must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address accessible for the remote host.
Figure 3-1 Web Management over Ethernet
3.3.2 Login the Media converter
Before you start configure the ICS-10x, please note the ICS-10x is configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure
the manager PC must be set on same the IP subnet address.
For example, the default IP address of the ICS-10x is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x
(where x is a number between 1 and 254 except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
1. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 or above Web browser. Enter IP address http://192.168.0.100 (the factory-default IP
address) to access the Web interface.
2. When the following login screen appears, please enter the default username and password (default user name and
password is "admin"). Press Login to enter the main screen of ICS-10x. The login screen in Figure 3-2 appears.

The page includes the following configurable data:
• DHCP Client
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway
• DNS
Disable or enable the DHCP function.
When DHCP Client is set to “Enable”, the ICS-10x will send a DHCP request to the DHCP
server in the network. Once the DHCP Server get the request, it will assign a dynamic IP
address, subnet mask and gateway to the ICS-10x.
The factory default setting is “Disable”
Assign the converter IP Address.
The factory default value is 192.168.0.100
Assign the converter Subnet Mask.
The factory default value is 255.255.255.0

The factory default value is 192.168.0.254
DNS is the way that Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP addresses.
A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as planet.com, that it is usually easier to
remember. Assign the DNS server IP address.

When the ICS-10x be configured to TCP Server mode, it allows Serial device that connected to serial port of ICS-10x to
establish TCP communication over Intranet or Internet network between:
Remote Host (Computer) with Serial applications using TCP/IP network socket programs
Other ICS-10x with TCP Client mode
It opens the TCP port of ICS-10x to wait for serial application to establish a TCP connection. After the connection is
established, data can be transmitted in both directions.

When the ICS-10x be configured to Virtual COM mode, it allows Serial device that connected to serial port of ICS-10x to
establish TCP communication over Intranet or Internet network between Remote Host (Computer). The Virtual COM Port
driver has to be installed at the Remote Host. Users can send data by Virtual COM port, and Virtual COM port will transfer
data to Ethernet by windows socket. The Virtual COM driver maps IP Address / Port of ICS-10x to a local COM port on the
Remote Host (Computer). Once the Virtual COM connection is established, the applications work as the serial device is
direct connected to the Remote Host’s real COM port. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both
directions.

While using Pair Connection mode for two RS-232 services distance extend, the DB9/RS-232 cables
are very importance in this application. There are much kind of RS-232 cables, such as straight cable
(standard) and Null-Modem cable. Please make sure the DB9/RS-232 cables match the below
constriction:
Serial Device to ICS-10x/Remote (Slave) – Use the original RS-232 serial cable attached in the
serial device package.
Host / Client to ICS-10x/Local (Master) – It has to use the Null-Modem cable!
Users can use the Null-Modem cable directly connect to the ICS-10x (Master), or use the Null-Modem
DB9 connector, as the picture shows:
Allow the ICS-10x to connect actively to the remote host whose IP address is
set by this parameter.
The TCP port that ICS-10x uses to listen to connections and that other device
must use to contact ICS-10x. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the

The ICS-10x Web Smart Media Converter provides software for Converter smart function configuration when the
Converter operation mode on “Virtual COM”. - They can be configured through the Console. Two function groups are
provide to easy used, can search device and create virtual COM to view as the console port.
This program can search ICS-10x Series devices, it will show information of the device. And user can use VCOM function
creates virtual COM port for user using. Users can send data by virtual COM port, and virtual COM port will transfer data
to Ethernet by windows socket. While VCOM got data from Ethernet, it will transfer data to virtual COM port by virtual COM
component.
The VCOM is an integrated software suite that bundles Device Server Administrator and IP Serial Library, and provides
something you need to monitor your ICS-10x from a remote location.
5.1 Installing the VCOM Utility
1. Insert the bundled CD disk into the CD-ROM drive to launch the autorun program. Once completed, a welcome
menu screen will appear. Click the “VCOM” hyperlink, the below InstallShield Wizard dialog box will appear.
NOTE: If the welcome screen does not appear, click “Start” at the taskbar. Then, select “Run” and type
