Chapter 1: Introduction  
PES1A and PESV1A Mini PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ethernet to RS-  
232 Converters provide simple and cost-effective solutions for connecting  
RS-232 devices to Ethernet networks. PES1A and PESV1A converters make  
it easy to connect serial printers, copiers, building automation, retail, point of  
sale, warehousing and banking equipment directly into Ethernet networks.  
Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation and the PESV1A  
provides a switch selectable voltage output to power external devices.  
Communication Modes  
PES1A/PESV1A Ethernet to RS-232 converters allow you to connect  
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.  
PES1A and PESV1A converters support virtual COM port, console  
management, TCP and UDP socket, serial bridge, terminal, modem  
emulation and custom connections. Network addresses can be obtained  
dynamically or manually. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is  
supported. Configuration is accomplished through a web-based user  
interface.  
Direct IP  
Direct IP Mode allows applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket  
programs to communicate with the asynchronous serial ports on the serial  
server. In this mode the PES1A/PESV1A is configured as a TCP or UDP  
server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a communication  
connection. The data is sent directly to and from the serial port on the server.  
TCP Server Mode allows network devices to initiate a TCP connection to  
the serial device connected to the serial port on the PES1A/PESV1A. This is  
also referred to as reverse telnet.  
UDP Server Mode allows network devices to initiate a UDP connection to  
the serial device attached to the serial port of the PES1A/PESV1A. When  
using UDP protocol the PES1A/PESV1A can be configured to broadcast data  
to and receive data from multiple IP addresses.

Virtual COM Port  
Features  
Virtual COM Port mode (also called RealPort, or com port redirection)  
allows you to map a COM port on your PC to the serial port on your  
PES1A/PESV1A. Using the RealPort software (included with the  
PES1A/PESV1A) you create virtual COM ports on your PC. When your  
application sends data to this port, RealPort redirects the data across the  
network to serial device connected to the PES1A/PESV1A serial port. The  
network is transparent to the user application and the serial device connected  
to the PES1A/PESV1A.  
Converts Ethernet to RS-232 serial  
Small, economical and configurable  
PESV1A provides selectable output power supply  
Supports TD, RD, TRS, CTS, DTR, DCD, DSR and GND RS-232 lines

Introduction  
Introduction  
Paired Mode  
Paired Mode (also called Serial Tunneling or Serial Bridge mode) allows  
serial devices connected to two PES1A/PESV1A converters to communicate  
across a network. The two PES1A/PESV1A converters automatically  
connect to each other.  
In Paired Mode the heartbeat feature ensures reliable communications by  
restoring the connection if communications are temporarily lost at either end  
due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.  
Other Communications Modes  
PES1A/PESV1A Converters also feature the following communications  
profiles:  
Terminal Mode allows you to connect a PC running terminal software to the  
PES1A/PESV1A serial port and communicate with the PES1A/PESV1A via  
a command line interface.  
Modem Emulation Mode allows you to configure the serial port to operate  
as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to  
communicate through a modem, the serial device can now be connected to  
the PES1A/PESV1A and communication occurs over the network. The  
PES1A/PESV1A emulates modem responses to and from the serial device.  
In Console Management Mode the PES1A/PESV1A can be configured for  
connection to the management port typically found on network devices such  
as routers, switches and servers. This allows remote management of the  
network device. Communication can be accomplished using telnet to a  
specific port in the converter.  
Custom Mode allows you to custom configure the PES1A/PESV1A serial  
port and is used if your application does not fit into any other predefined  
modes.

Hardware Overview  
Hardware Overview  
Ethernet Port Connector  
Connecting the Hardware  
The Ethernet Port connector is a standard RJ-45 receptacle that allows the  
serial server to be connected to an Ethernet network. It also carries Power  
over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.  
Typically, the PES1A/PESV1A is connected to a network via a hub, switch  
or router using standard CAT-5 cable. Power must be supplied to the  
converter via the CAT-5 cable using Power over Ethernet. Configuration is  
accomplished over the network, or via a direct connection (see below) using  
the Web Configuration and Management Interface  
On the PES1A/ PESV1A two indicator LEDs are built into the RJ-45  
connector.  
Power over Ethernet (PoE)  
Serial Port Connector  
Power is supplied to your PES1A/PESV1A from PoE power source  
equipment (PSE), which must be installed within 100 meters of the  
converter. PSEs may be endspan or midspan devices. Endspan PSE devices  
may be switches or hubs with integrated PoE capability. Midspan PSE  
devices are dedicated, inline devices that are installed between your network  
switch and the PES1A/PESV1A.  
The Serial Port Connector is a DB-9 male connector (configured as a DTE)  
supporting RS-232 serial communications including TD, RD, TRS, CTS,  
DTR, DCD, DSR and GND signal lines. Use a standard serial cable if  
connecting to a DCE; use a null modem (crossover) cable if connecting to a  
DTE.  
Refer to Appendices D, E and F for connection pin-outs.  
For more information on PoE see Appendix C.  
Power Connector  
Endspan PoE  
Switch or Hub*  
Power is supplied to the PES1A/PESV1A by PoE (Power over Ethernet) via  
the RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle. Power over Ethernet may be delivered via un-  
used pairs in the CAT-5 cable, or via a simplexed power technique. Both  
options are supported by the PES1A and PESV1A. PoE power consumption  
for the PES1A and PESV1A are rated Class 3.  
Serial Cable  
Refer to Appendix E for Ethernet connection pin-outs and additional information  
on PoE.

Select TCP Sockets to implement Direct IP Mode using TCP. When using  
TCP Sockets your converter can be configured as a TCP server or TCP  
client.  
TCP Server Settings  
If your PES1A/PESV1A is configured as a TCP server, other  
network devices can initiate a TCP connection with the serial device  
connected to the PES1A/PESV1A serial port. (This is also referred  
to as reverse telnet.) Network devices initiating connections must be  
configured with the IP address of the PES1A/PESV1A and the TCP  
port number associated with its serial port.

Select RealPort to implement the use of virtual COM ports. This allows you  
to map a COM port on a PC to the serial port on your PES1A/PESV1A.  
Using RealPort software (included with the PES1A/PESV1A) you create a  
virtual COM port on the PC. When your application sends data to this port,  
RealPort redirects the data across the network to the PES1A/PESV1A. The  
PES1A/PESV1A passes the data to the serial device connected to its serial  
port. The network is transparent to the user application and the serial device  
connected to the PES1A/PESV1A.  
Figure 13. TCP Server Settings  
For each option, the TCP port number is shown. You can also  
Enable TCP Keep Alive for each selection. (If Enable Keep Alive  
is selected the connections is maintained even if no data is being  
sent.)  
For information on how to use RealPort to create virtual COM ports on your PC  
see Chapter 8  
TCP Client Settings  
If your PES1A/PESV1A is configured as a TCP client it will  
automatically establish a bi-directional TCP connection between the  
serial device and a server or other networked device. Selecting  
Automatically establish TCP connections enables this feature and  
its configuration options become available.  
Console Management  
In Console Management the PES1A/PESV1A can be configured for

Virtual COM ports allow you to set up a connection between your PC and  
the device connected to the serial port on your PES1A/PESV1A via an  
Ethernet network connection using TCP/IP. If you will be using virtual COM  
ports (configuring your serial port with the RealPort profile) you must use  
RealPort to configure those ports on your PC. Once you have configured a  
new virtual COM (VCOM) port using RealPort, application software can  
communicate through that COM port as if it is located within the PC.

Power over Ethernet is a technique (defined by the IEEE802.3af standard) for  
providing power to Ethernet enabled devices over standard Category 5e  
cabling. Two techniques (Alternative A and Alternative B) are defined by the  
standard and supported by the PES1A/PESV1A.

Alternative A implements a simplex, or ‘phantom feeding’ method for  
delivering power to the end device. Power is carried on the same conductors  
as data. Cabling for standard 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet (typically  
Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors) uses two data/signal pairs. The  
power sourcing equipment (PSE) applies positive DC voltage (simplexed) to  
pins 3 and 6. Negative voltage is applied to pins 1 and 2. The powered device  
(PD) derives the power from these lines.  
Figure 24. Power over Ethernet Alternative B  
Alternative B carries power over spare wire pairs in the cable. The power  
sourcing equipment applies positive voltage to pins 4 and 5. Negative voltage  
is applied to pins 7 and 8.  
Operating voltage is typically 48 volts but may vary from 44 volts to 57  
volts.
