Device Server Configuration Follow the instructions below to configure your Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server, if needed. The default IP address of the Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server is 192.168.0.100. Before you configure the IP of your Serial Device Server, make sure the IP of your PC/NB is in the same network domain as the Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server. If not, assign an IP address 192.168.0.X.(* X is a random number between 0-254, except 100).
1. 2. Double click IP Search Utility in the included software CD, then double click CVBrowser... to enable the tool. Click the Refresh button on the upper panel, then it will detect the existence of the installed device server and the device server's latest display status, such as IP address, subnet mask, MAC address, etc. Figure 4 3. Click the Modify IP button and change the IP address and subnet mask from the prompted Dialog Frame window, if needed. Figure 5 4. 5.
Figure 6 Login Type in password and click the Login button, then make your changes from the Web Browser Configuration webpage. See the section for more information. Web Console Configuration In addition to basic IP address and subnet mask, specific device settings can be set through HTTP protocol with popular browsers, e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. Setup is as easy as surfing the web, no special software is required.
• • • • Firmware version: The Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server's firmware version is identified by date code. Serial number: Product serial number as provided by the factory Ethernet MAC address: The unique MAC (Media Access Control) address used for identification by the Ethernet network Password and Login: This field is the administration password for authentication. The factory default setting is blank. However, it is recommended to set a password under normal operation.
• • • • • Subnet mask: Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is usually used for small networks, 255.255.0.0 for larger networks. If your IP address is provided by an ISP or network administrator, please obtain that information and enter it correctly. If DHCP client mode is enabled and there's a DHCP server on the network, this field will be assigned by the DHCP server automatically Gateway IP: Gateway or Router IP address. "Gateway" is a device which connects local network to external network.

Device Server Updated Press the Update button after you complete your changes. The Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server will save all setting into internal non-volatile memory and then reboot. The Web Console webpage will refresh in around 5 seconds. NOTE: If Controller Updated/Now restarting doesn't show up after clicking the update button, this means the configuration page may be left idling too long and it timed out, so no update was performed.
COM Port Setup IMPORTANT: Copy the VirtualCOM folder from your driver CD to your PC's hard drive, then follow the instructions below to add the virtual COM port. 1. 2. Open the VirtualCOM folder, double click 32-bit or 64-bit folder ( based on your system), then double click VSerPortConsole. Enter the VSerPortConsole main menu, right click on it, then click Add Port. Add Port Figure 10 3. At the Add Port window, check Auto Assign, then click OK.
4. 5. Click Install this driver anyway or Continue Anyway, then a COM port would be assigned. Right click under the assigned COM port and click Add Net. COM 3 Add Net Figure 12 6. 7. Type in the IP address of the Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server in the Remote Address field. Type in the Serial I/O Port's Local port number to the Remote Port field.
8. A (Unconnceted) TCP Client... will be established. (Unconnected) TCP Client... Figure 14 9. Right click on the Virtualserial Port Console, click Add Port, then follow steps 3-7 to add the second serial port, if needed. 10. Close the Virtualserial Port Console and reopen it to make sure the COM port is successfully added. 11. Go to the Self-Testing section below to make sure the device is ready to use.
Figure 15 Enter a terminal name, choose an icon, and press OK button.
Select the assigned COM port at the Connect using field, see Figure 17. For example, if the virtual COM port was assigned COM 3, then select COM 3. Figure 17 Select the same values with the Controller Setup to the COMX Properties, then click OK.
If Hyper Terminal connects with the Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server successfully, the time clock at the lower left corner, Connected hh:mm:ss, will start counting, see Figure 19. Figure 19 Hyper Terminal for COM Port Initiate another Hyper Terminal as a COM Port Terminal. Select COM 1 or other COM port. Set the COM port properties to the same as those set for the serial port of the Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server.
