1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

This manual describes the commands and the configuration for the following xmodus
swiss GmbH Socket Modem families:

AL6000SS LAN Socket Modem (5V Version)
AL6000S-3V LAN Socket Modem (3V Version)

The description applies to all these LAN-modems without any differences between
product families noted. Please refer to Modem Firmware Release notes for
commands applicable to the modem firmware.

1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The xmodus AL6000S and AL6000S-3V Socket Modem Family provides the OEM
with a complete LAN data modem in a compact socket-mountable module. This
module enables any devices to send and receive data over the Ethernet network. The
IEEE 802.3u interface with auto-negotiation and auto-crossover is supported. The
module is fully approved and homologated and conforms to the CE regulations. This
gives fastest time-to-market to LAN-enable any devices.

The compact size and high level of integration of the Socket Modem minimizes real
estate and cost for motherboard and box modem applications. Its low power
consumption makes it ideal for a wide variety of embedded control applications. The
pin compatibility between the full range of Analog Series Socket Modems, ISDN,
GSM and LAN Socket Modems allows upgrading and production configurability
without hardware changes.

As a data modem, the AL6000S Socket Modem can send and receive data at speeds
up to 230’000 bps in transparent or Telnet modes. Protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP,
ARP, ICMP and DHCP are supported.

The very flexible IP protocol stack allows easy integration of user applications such as
additional bus systems (CAN) or serial protocols for automation systems.

Optional interfaces like SPI, USB or CAN are integrated for future expansion. The
standard modules support configurable I/O ports and ADC ports for monitoring and
control.

default IP address of the modem: 192.168.1.3

At the login prompt, type: “ADMIN

”

At the password prompt type: “AL6000S

”

(The user name and password are case sensitive)

2.2 Login with Telnet Client

When using Telnet client to configure your LAN-modem for the first time, use the
default IP address of the modem: 192.168.1.3

 At the login prompt, type: “ADMIN:AL6000S

”

(The user name and password are case sensitive)

2.3 Login with TTY

When using TTY to configure your LAN-modem, you must configure the serial port to
the default serial configuration of the module.

115200 bps, 8-bit, no parity, 1 stop bit

 No authentication needed for TTY configuration.
 Press 3 x Enter to arrive at the login prompt.

2.4 General information

- The OK or “#” sign designates the prompt in command mode.

- No prompt is displayed in data mode.

- To end your configuration session type “quit”.

- To display a list of available menus type “help”.

3. WEB BASED CONFIGURATION

The AL6000S LAN-modem consists of a HTTP Web server, which allows
configuration and monitoring through any common web browser. When using your
web browser to configure your LAN-modem for the first time, use the default IP
address of the modem:

192.168.1.3

At the login prompt, type: “ADMIN

”

At the password prompt type: “AL6000S

”

(The user name and password are case sensitive)
After login, the following entry screen should display:

3.1 Web based LAN configuration

The LAN Configuration Screen allows configuration of all the LAN specific parameters
such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address, Ethernet speed and DHCP
server.

LAN configuration screen:

Important:

The LAN configuration menu contains a validation procedure, which prevents the

storing of incorrect configuration data. After a setting has been changed and saved,
the new configuration must be validated within 3 minutes by reconnecting via the
Browser and clicking on the <Modify / validate settings> button. After this timeout with
no validation, the module returns to the previous configuration so that it cannot be left
in an unreachable condition.

Procedure:

 Change settings as desired
 Click on <Modify/validate settings> followed by <Save changes*>
 The LAN modem will now reboot with its new settings. Reconnect using the

new settings to ensure that it is reachable.

 Click on <Modify/validate settings> to validate the new settings so that they are

permanently used.

 If after 3 minutes no validation has taken place the previous configuration is
automatically restored.

3.2 Web based serial configuration

The serial configuration screen provides all the settings for the serial interface and the
serial communication modes.

SERIAL configuration screen:

3.2.1 Serial Port configuration:

 Serial Port parameters: setting of baud rate, parity, data-bits, stop-bits and flow-

control.

 Flow Control: Selects between RTS/CTS (Hardware) flow control and

XON/XOFF (Software) flow control. The high and low-water marks can also be
modified.

 Input wait buffer: specifies the conditions at which the received data is packed in

a TCP/IP frame and sent to the remote side. As default, received data is sent
after 350 bytes (buffer full) or after 240 ms (if less than 350 bytes received).

 Modify: To make the settings active press the “Modify serial port” button. The

new setting is immediately valid.

 Save changes: Permanently saves the new setting.

3.2.2 Communication modes:

 TELNET: The Telnet radio button enables the Telnet protocol for data

communications. Communication is established through the specified port, which
defaults to 8000.

 RAW: The RAW radio button enables transparent mode for data communications.

Communication is established through the specified port, which defaults to 8000.

 IAC: The IAC-Tx and IAC-Rx radio buttons enables IAC byte-stuffing in the

specified direction when in Raw communication mode.

 Modify: To make the settings active press the “Modify communication” button.
 Save changes: Permanently saves the new setting.

3.2.3 Serial/TCP Communication settings:

 Dial-in: The dial-in radio button enables TCP access from remote side to the LAN

modem (incoming calls) and enables the modules Telnet data Server. The dial-in
port specifies the port address of the Telnet data server (8000 default).

 Dial-out: The dial-out radio button enables Telnet access from the LAN modem to

the remote side (outgoing calls) and enables the Telnet Client. The dial-out port
specifies the port address of the Telnet client (8000 default) and the dial-out IP
address the address of the server to be contacted.

 Auto Dial-out: The Auto dial-out radio button enables automatic Telnet access

from the LAN modem to the remote side (automatic outgoing calls). The
connection is automatically established by either the DTR line (DTR active) or by
presence of data. This is selected by either the “Dial on DTR” or the “Dial on data”
radio buttons.

 Modify: To make the settings active press the “Modify communication” button.
 Save changes: Permanently saves the new setting.

3.2.4 Serial Escape Scanning:

 Serial Escape: The Serial escape scanning radio button enables the escape to

command mode function. The “Escape sequence” field specifies the characters
used to switch from data to command mode.

3.2.5 General:

 Reset all changes to default.

 Make changes permanent.
