Introduction Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION VLINX ESR90x Industrial Ethernet Serial Servers allow connection of RS- 232, RS-422 or RS-485 devices to an Ethernet network. The serial ports can be accessed over a LAN/WAN using Direct IP Mode, Virtual COM Port, or Paired Mode connections. The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection autoselects 10BaseT or 100BaseTX and indicates the type of connection with a bi-color link light.
Introduction o o • 2 All ports are software selectable as RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 full duplex or RS-485 half duplex interfaces For all models Port 1 is software, or DIP switch selectable for Console Mode operation (configuration via direct serial connection) Slim line DIN rail mountable case • Accepts AC or DC power over a wide volt range • Redundant DC power supply input • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with Auto Selection • LAN and WAN Communications • TCP or UDP Client or Server operation - configura
Introduction Communication Modes The ESR90x Serial servers enable communication with serial devices over a LAN or WAN. Serial devices no longer are limited to a physical connection to the PC COM port. They can be installed anywhere on the LAN using TCP/IP or UDP/IP communications. This allows traditional Windows PC software access to serial devices anywhere on the LAN/WAN network.
Introduction Two Serial Servers are connected to a network, one configured as a TCP or UDP client and the other as a TCP/UDP server. When setting up the server the remote IP address section must contain the address of the client. This will allow the client’s IP address to pass the IP address-filtering feature of the server. Conversely, the Remote IP address of the client must contain the server’s IP address. Both communication port numbers must be the same.
Introduction Serial Server Quick Start Guide For descriptive purposes this Quick Start Guide considers a typical configuration consisting of a PC connected via an Ethernet LAN to an ESR902 Serial Server connected to the RS-232 port of a serial device. Hardware Setup Ethernet cable LAN Ethernet cable ESR902 PC RS-232 cable Serial Device Figure 2. Typical Hardware Setup Step 1: Connect the Serial Server to the network using a standard network cable.

Server Properties Configuration Chapter 5: CONFIGURING THE SERIAL SERVER PROPERTIES The VLINX Serial Server can be configured using any of four different user interfaces: the ESP Manager software, Console Mode, Telnet or the Web Server. The Server Properties described in this chapter can be changed from any of these user interfaces. Figure 23.
Server Properties Configuration Description of the Server Properties Figure 24. ESP Manager Server Properties Window Server Name This field displays the name that has been assigned to the Serial Server. A new Server Name of up to 16 characters can be entered. If more than one Serial Server is connected on the LAN it is recommended that a new name be assigned to each.
Server Properties Configuration values will remain. When DHCP is enabled, the IP Address, Netmask and Gateway fields become inaccessible and cannot be changed by the user. Note: A dynamic address assigned by the DHCP server may change if the server loses the Ethernet connection or power is removed. The host (client) communication software requests a connection to the specific IP address of the serial server.
Server Properties Configuration Netmask The default LAN netmask is configured for a Class C address. The user may change this. Default is 255.255.255.0 Gateway The Gateway IP address allows users to access the Serial Server from outside the LAN. MAC Address The MAC address is fixed and cannot be changed. It is assigned in the factory. Every Ethernet device manufactured has it own unique MAC address. Version & Date The currently loaded version of the firmware, and when it was released, is shown here.
Server Properties Configuration Flow Control The Flow Control setting must match the requirements of the serial device connected. Note: Select None when setting the port as RS-485 or 4-wire RS-422. TCP/UDP Protocol Select TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol. If the application does not require a UDP connection, select TCP. TCP guarantees reliable communication with error checking whereas UDP provides faster transmission.
Server Properties Configuration Serial Timeout Default for the Timeout property is 0, or no timeout. Setting Timeout to any value between 1 and 65535 seconds activates it. If Timeout is set to 5 seconds and the Serial Server is configured as a Server, the Client makes a connection and communications starts. If communications are ideal for 5 seconds the Serial Server will reset and make itself available for another client connection. TCP Alive Timeout The Serial Server monitors TCP activity.
Server Properties Configuration Force Transmit This field allows the user to set a maximum time limit between transmissions of data. The value set in this field multiplied by 100 ms determines the Force Transmit time. When the elapsed time reaches the time configured in this field, the TCP/IP protocol will pack the data currently in the serial buffer into a packet and send it out the Ethernet port.
Server Properties Configuration • Default – When this mode is selected and the server is updated, it will revert the server to its default configuration. • RS-232 – When this mode is selected and the server updated, the • RS-422 – When this mode is selected and the server updated, the selected serial port will become an RS-232 serial port on the server. selected serial port will become an RS-422 serial port on the server.
Server Properties Configuration Update/Save Server properties must be updated separately for each serial port. Updating varies slightly depending on which of the four configuration user interfaces are used. Updating the Server Properties in ESP Manager From the Server Properties screen, click the Update button to store the configuration settings for the currently selected port.
