Ch. 4 Installation
This chapter explains how to install SerialGate. It deals with LAN and serial connection guides for SerialGate to operate together with the target serial device.
Connection Guide
In order to connect SerialGate to network, you need to use RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet connection (auto-sensing). Since SerialGate’s WAN/LAN port supports MDIX, it automatically detects any kind of cable. (Cross or direct LAN cable) Plug one end of a LAN cable to SerialGate and the other end to a hub, switch, or any other network device.
First-Time Bootup
First of all, please make sure that the power input you supply to the module is corresponding with the SerialGate model that you have. If an appropriate power input has been successfully supplied, SerialGate will power on and start booting. Although there is no power LED to check the status, you can check by LEDs on the RJ45 Ethernet port. LED status operation is described in Chapter 3. Hardware De scription.
An IP address is required to access SerialGate’s web interface or telnet command-line configuration tool. By factory default, a static IP address is assigned to SerialGate. After the initial connection, you can either manually assign a different IP address or set SerialGate to automatically get an IP address from a DHCP server. While this depends on your network environment and policy, it is strongly recommended that a user assigns SerialGate with a unique static IP.
Connecting to SerialGate
In order to view current SerialGate’s settings or modify them, you need to make a Web or Telnet connection to SerialGate. IP address is required information to make a connection. There are two ways you can know the current IP address of Eddy.
33
If SerialGate’s WAN port uses assigned IP address from DHCP server or is set to a fixed IP address, SerialGate supports the following options in case that a user does not know IP address.
For SerialGate-1010/1020, SerialGate-1010(W)/ALL, SerialGate-1020(W)/All
1. A user can connect to SerialGate LAN port’s virtual IP address; “10.10.1.1”
2. A user can search IP address pre-set to SerialGate using “Detector” application enclosed in Utility & Documents CD and connect to SerialGate.
For SerialGate-1040/1080/1 160
1. A user can connect to SerialGate LAN port’s default IP address; “10.10.1.1”.
2. Connecting a serial console port to a PC’s serial port, a user can set 115,200bps and connect to a SerialGate.
3. A user can search IP address pre-set to SerialGate using “Detector” application enclosed in Utility & Documents CD and connect to SerialGate.
WAN Default IP address: 192.168.0.223
SerialGate’s default IP address is set to 192.168.0.223. In order to connect with this address, you need to change network configurations so that your PC can connect to the IP 192.168.0.223. Please refer to an example below, and note that values don’t necessarily have to be identical to the example below.
LAN Sub IP address: 10.10.1.1
For SerialGate-1010/1020, LAN port’s virtual IP address is 10.10.1.1 while LAN port’s default IP address fo r SeroalGate-1040/1080/1160 is
10.10.1.1. In order to connect with this address, you need to change
network configurations so that your PC can connect to the IP
10.10.1.1. Please refer to an example below, and note that values
don’t necessarily have to be identical to the example below .
34
Serial Console Port
SerialGate-1040/1080/1160 supports console port. If a user connects console port and a PC’s serial port with a serial cable, and run communication program such as hyperterminal, a user can make a configuration as 115200 bps, None Parity, 8 Data bits, 1 S top Bit and connect to a device.
Connection via portview
By running the portview program in the Utility & Documents CD included in the SerialGate package, you can dynamically search all SerialGates on the network and connect to any of them. (For more information on portview, please refer to the Portview manual in the Utility & Documents CD included in the SerialGate package) After running portview, click Search button. You can view the list that is running in your network. Select the module that you would make a connection to, and click Telnet or Web to connect to the device via Telnet or Web, respectively . you can modify and apply the IP address of serialgate via this program.
Now, you are ready to con nect to SerialGate! There are three optio ns to configure SerialGate.
1) Configuration via Web
A user can easily configu re SerialGate with web interfac e, accessible from any web bro wser. For more information, please refer to Chapter 5. Configuration via Web.
2) Configuration via Telnet
A user can configure SerialGate with commands after accessing SerialGate through Telnet. For more information, please refer to Chapter 6. Configuration via Telnet.
3) Configuration via Portview
A user can use a Windows-based utility Portview from SystemBase to monitor SerialGate. For more information on using the utility for your administration purpose, please refer to Portview User Guide.
35
Ch. 5 Configuration via Web
Connection
Open web browser and enter the IP address of SerialGate to access SerialGate’ s web man ager. Once you are successfully connected, the following page will show up. You need to enter appropriate username and password to login. Please note that this username and password are used as authentication method for Telnet as well. This means if username or/and password has been modified from the web interface, modified values have to be entered to connect to Telnet, and vice versa.

Serial settings for SerialGate are as follows.
Menu Default Descriptions
Select the operation protocol that will be applied in the serial port.
Disable
Disable the serial port.
COM Redirector
Use the serial port of SerialGate as a virtual COM port in Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista.
TCP Server
SerialGate works as a socket server , waiting for the client connection on the network. Socket number for awaiting connections can be set
Operation Mode
in ‘Local socket port’ field. After socket connection, data between socket and serial port will be transmitted.
TCP Client
SerialGate acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to the server IP address and the socket number assigned when a certain server waits for connectio n on the network.
COM
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched after the socket connection is established.
TCP Broadcast
SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections from socket clients. Data transmitted from SerialGate is broadcast to each socket client.
TCP Multiplex
SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections from socket clients. The difference between TCP Broadcast and TCP Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket to communicate exclusively. That is, serial data in response are only transferred to the sender socket.
UDP Server
SerialGate works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the client on the network. Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local socket
44
Menu Default Descriptions
port’ field. Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the connection, the data is transmitted to the serial port. The data input from the serial port is put into UDP packets, which eventually are sent to the client.
UDP Client
When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent using the preset IP address and the socket number of the server.
Pair_Master/ Pair_Slave
It extends a serial cable between DTE and DCE to network, and enables communication not limited to distance. Two devices are required for this feature and set one to Pair_master and another to
Interface
Pair_Slave. It can be used for serial communication tunneling.
MODBUS ASCII
Connect MODBUS/ASCII SLAVE using serial port and make user of MODBUS/TCP MASTER feature using LAN port in PC. This featur e enables MODBUS media converter function. (Available for SerialGate-1010/ALL).
User Application
A user can run own customized program. In order to run it, a user needs to ask for application development environment to SystemBase. RS232 model is set to RS232. Combo model is selectable between RS422, RS485(No-Echo) and RS485(Echo). Default value is RS422.

Menu Default Descriptions
After a certain amount of time passes without any communication
after the socket connection between the given serial port and the
server is established, automatically disconnect the socket
connection. Valid from 0 to 32767 sec.
For example, if the operation mode is set to TCP Server and Alive
Check Time is configured to 10, TCP Server will listen for the client’s
connection and eventually establish a connection. Since the check
time is 10 seconds, the server will wait for 10 seconds until the client
Keepalive Check Time
connected to it sends any packet. If there is no data for 10 seconds,
server will quit the connection and return to the listening state. This
0
option is helpful in preventing communication obstacles that occur
when either SerialGate or the client quits unexpectedly (i.e. Sudden
black out, reboot, LAN cable cut, etc.). In these cases, the other part
of communication might not recognize the failure of its partner. Such
misunderstanding can cause communication errors.
If the value is set to 0, this function is disabled. Once connected
socket will be retained until explicitly disconnected.
(Only applies to TCP Client, TCP Server, TCP Broadcast, and TCP
Multiplex operation modes.)
This needs to be set when consecutive data from the given serial
port needs to be transmitted to socket at once.
For example, if 100 bytes of character string are to be transmitted
from the serial device to a server through SerialGate, bypass is set to
Latency
0
Time
0 for the latency time. Although it provides immediate sen ding
through SerialGate, the server could be received a lot parts of
divided packets.
If the latency time is not 0, SerialGate will wait for the time and check
new data. If there is new data, SerialGate repeatedly wait for the
time. Otherwise, SerialGate will transfer the buffered data, but it
could not run in real time.

Ch. 8 Application
SerialGate can be used in many practical applications in various fields. Here we present some of them.
Com Port Redirector
With COM Port Redirection, a user can use serial port connected to SerialGate on the network as if it is a serial port on PC.
Install Com Port Redirector and set the following steps. (For installation, please refer to Com Port Redirector manual enclosed in CD. In the picture below, IP address of SerialG ate is 192.168.0.247, and the first serial port is being u sed. A user can open Com 21 and use serial device connected to SerialGate.
77
In order to correspond to the Redirector setting of PC, change the setting in the first serial port of SerialGate as follows.
TCP_Server (TCP/IP connection from PC to SerialGate)
In PC’s socket program, connect the first serial port of SerialGate.
Since socket number for the first port of SerialGate is default 4001, try to connect to SerialGate’s IP address and socket number 4001 when connecting from a PC to SerialGate. As shown below, change the Operation Mode to TCP_Server and confirm the socket number waiting
for connection. .
Check the communication speed of a serial device to be connected to serial port, and set it to Com
Specification.
78
TCP_Client (TCP/IP Connection: SerialGate PC)
Since it is a connection from SerialGate to a PC, change the Operation Mode to TCP_Client and register PC’s IP addres s and socket number to be connected. Check the communication speed of a serial device to be connected to serial port, and set it to Com Specification.
79
Pair (Serial Line To Serial Line)
This structure is mainly used when the cable length between PC and serial device is short so a user needs to extend the communication distance. This approach consists of two SerialGates connected in Pair.
Setting for SerialGate 1
In order to perform Master features, change Operation Mode to Pari_Master. Check the communication speed of a PC and set it in Com Specification, and also register Slave SerialGate’s IP address and port number in Remort IP/Port.
80
Setting for SerialGate 2
register the socket number to be connected in Local Socket Port.
In order to wait for Master connection, set Operation Mode to Pari_Slave and

Ch. 9 Appendix
Troubleshooting
This section describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with SerialGate.
Troubleshooting Installation Problems
If you cannot access the connected serial device via SerialGate, first check the network connection and cabling.
Check the physical cabling to ensure all cables are plugged in (Ethernet and DB-9 se
rial cable)
If the appropriate LEDs are not illuminated, then there is probably a bad 10baseT or
100baseTX cable, or the hub port is bad. If possible, try a different cable and hub p ort, or try connecting a different device to the cable.
Verify that you are using the correct values for both IP Address and Port Number. If you are using a hub, verify that the hub port is operating correctly by trying Serial
Gate on a different port.
Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems
If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and SerialGate are on the sa
me IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. The I P address you assign to SerialGate must be on the same logical network as your ho st computers (e.g., if your computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3 and the sub net mask of 255.255.255.0, SerialGate should have an IP address of 192.189.207.x, where x is an integer between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure your route r address to work with SerialGate.
If your Device Server is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP Address, it is possi
ble that SerialGate’s IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP server to give SerialGate a permanent lease, or configure SerialGate to be on a STATIC IP ad dress outside the scope of the DHCP addresses.
82
The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses. Verify that
the IP address is correctly loaded into SerialGate (via the displayed or printed configu ration information or through the remote console), and make sure that no other nodes on the network have this address (duplicate addresses are the biggest cause of TCP/ IP connectivity problems). If the IP address is not correct, then check whether the lo ading procedure was properly executed.
Also verify that the host computer and SerialGate are using the same subnet masks(f
or example, if SerialGate has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the host must have th e same subnet mask) or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.
If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for DHCP server, and make s
ure that the server is not set up to load wrong IP addresses into SerialGate.
Troubleshooting Windows Problems
If you are having trouble accessing the connected serial device through Windows, ens
ure you can ping SerialGate using the command PING x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of SerialGate. If you cannot ping SerialGate, you will not be able to access the serial device.
If you are running COM port redirector and the software reports an error, verify that t
he correct virtual COM port is being used when the application runs. Verify that your application’s COM port settings have been changed to use the virtual COM ports.
Firmware Update using FTP
A user can upl oad firmware using web browser, FTP , and etc.
1) Connect to SerialGate with FTP, using correct username and password. (Default: serialgate,
99999999)
2) Issue a command ‘bi’ for binary file transfer mode. Optionally use ‘hash’ to see the data transfer mark.
3) Issue ‘put’ command to upload the firmware file.
4) After getting a ‘Transfer complete’ message, issue a command ‘bye’ to disconnect. Now we are ready to update the firmware.
83
5) Connect to SerialGate via Telnet, using correct username and password. (Default: eddy,
99999999)
6) After the login, you are already at the default directory where the firmware resides. Update can start right away.
7) Issue a command ‘ls’ to make sure firmware files are both successfully uploaded.
8) Use ‘upgrade’ command to write this file into SerialGate’s Flash memory. Upgrade application automatically detects whether the given firmware is kernel or file system.
9) Usage: Upgrade <firmware name> (Filename is case-se nsitive.)
10) Make sure ‘Flash Write OK’ and ‘Flash V erif y OK’ messages are displayed.
11) Enter ‘reboot’ to restart SerialGate. Now SerialGate will run with the new firmware.
