1 Introduction The NEO-10 device is a network based Input Output device. Within its enclosure are 10 DPDT relays with all 6 contacts of the relays brought out to ports (Normally Open, Normally Close, Common for each half of relay). There are also 10 diode blocked inputs which can be used to monitor external events. The NEO sends out multicast packet bursts anytime a relay or input changes allowing for all users of the device to see status updates in real time.
2 Connecting NEO to the World NEO has a total of three different ports that are used to connect it to the world. Likely, the first port that will need to be connected is the RS-232 port. 2.1 RS-232 Port The RS-232 port is used for initial setup purposes only. It is a standard DCE pinout allowing a straight through DB9 cable to connect it to a computer or other terminal device for setup. Default baud rate is 19200,N81. 2.
3 Software Configuration of NEO Setup of the NEO is almost entirely done using a web browser. The first step required during setup is to assign the IP and Mask addresses to the NEO, using either a WEB Browser or Hyper Terminal program if the assigned IP address is not accessible on your network. 3.1 Setting the basic IP information with Hyperterminal As was mentioned before, all other parameters are setup by using a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
At the main Hyper Terminal screen type uppercase S then . Enter “technobabble” for the factory password.
A B C D E F A = The board serial number and case serial number should match. B = Do you want to reset the PIN number programmed into NEO. C = Current IP address, do you want to change? D = Current Subnet Mask, do you want to change? E = Current Gateway address, do you want to change? F = Do you want to reset any of the above? Once all parameters have been entered and saved, allow the unit to reset by answering Yes to the final question. The unit will reset in 10-20 seconds.
3.2 General Setup via Web Pages The majority of the setup of the NEO is completed through the Ethernet port. Once the steps of 3.1 have been completed, a PC on the network can be used to gain access to the web page based setup of the NEO. In the URL window of Internet Explorer, type http://X.X.X.X where X.X.X.X is the IP address set in the previous section. An opening page will appear as shown in Figure 2.
Once all parameters are set, press the Submit button to send them back to the NEO from the web browser. The parameters are not updated until they are actually saved to EPROM, (Section 3.
3.4 Multicast Setup A single multicast address is employed by NEO for the purpose of updating consoles of changes in the Relays and Inputs. Figure 4 - Multicast Port Number Setup NEO sends out a single packet each time either a Relay is changed by any console or when an input changes due to external event. The Multicast Address is any address in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.254. A specific unicast address can also be used if only a single console is to be utilized.
3.5 Debounce Input Settings The Debounce hyperlink will open the screen below. Figure 5 - Input Debounce Settings Each of the 10 inputs can have its own input debounce time. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the input is allowed to stabilize from first change detection to final sampling. The timer resolution is only 20ms, so multiples of 20ms must be used. Other values will work, but give no finer resolution.
3.6 Echo Packet The Echo Packet function allows the system to operate on networks that do not support multicast. A typical application might be a number of radios spread throughout a network. Since multicast is not supported, the radio adaptors (IP-223s or C-6200s) are programmed to send packets to a specific static IP address; the IP address of the NEO-10 with Echo Packet enabled. Radio tower 2 Base:10.7.100.101 RX: 10.6.100.202 - 1055 TX: 10.6.100.202 - 1073 Router NEO-10 Base IP: 10.6.100.

3.7 Clone From Other NEO The Clone function allows for the parameters of one NEO to be copied to another over the network. Simply enter the IP address of the unit to copy the parameters from and press the submit button . The parameters will be copied. The only parameters that are not copied are the PIN number, IP address, and Mask.
3.8 PIN Change The PIN number is the password required to enter the setup mode of the NEO. The default is no PIN number. The PIN number is a 4 digit number that must be entered twice and then submitted.
3.9 Save Changes to EEPROM As each group of settings are changed and submitted, they still must be saved to EEPROM to be stored permanently. Some settings require reboot of the device to take effect. These are primarily IP parameters.
