1.3 Product Description
The Web-Smart ICS-10x series Media Converter / Device Server provide to converts Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485
communication interface over Fast Ethernet networking. There are RJ-45/SC connectors and
single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two types of segments to connect easily,
efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET
Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1000 and MC-1500). It’s time saving expense for user and SI, no need to
replace the existing Serial equipment and software system.
It extends the distance of deploying Serial equipments and hosts. The selectable fiber-Optic wires on the basis of
distance are flexibly provided. Therefore, this product will perfectly satisfy the diverse demands while providing reliable
and efficient network solutions based on the distance and budgets of installation.
The ICS-10x make connected Serial equipment becomes IP-based. That also makes them be able to connect to a
TCP/IP networking immediately. Each Web-Smart converter is able to manage through the Web Interface. The powerful
Web-Smart Media Converter supports Application mode, Serial operation mode connect alarm and IP address, etc.
Management function helps reduce the amount of valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and
locating network problems, otherwise it requires visual inspection of cabling and equipment. Multiple connection options
for large networking environment are available as well.
1.4 Applications
Access Control System – traditional installation
Most of the enterprise and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize the entrance identity.
With traditional deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to login server.
With connection to ICS-10x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to be extend over
longer distances via fiber optical interface. The distance can be up to 20km in a local range. Or the ICS-10x can be linked
to a xDSL router to get the internet access capability; the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.

Process Control
To monitor, configure and manage the Robot conveyer including other machines in a manufacturing, PLC (Programmable
Logical Control) is required. The PLC is used to drive above the manufacturing machines process. The ICS-10x can be set
to TCP Server mode and connect the PLC. The administrator can configure and set command settings through Fast
Ethernet intranet to control the PLC, the administrator and workstation. There is no need to be always sets by the side of
the I/O machine.

RTU Data Collect – UDP Mode
Connect with RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) to collect and monitor the data of waves, signal and power utilization. ICS-10x
can be used to set-up UDP mode and send data over Fast Ethernet to Local server or over internet to remote server
automatically.

When the ICS-10x be configured to Virtual COM mode, it allows Serial device that connected to serial port of ICS-10x to
establish TCP communication over Intranet or Internet network between Remote Host (Computer). The Virtual COM Port
driver has to be installed at the Remote Host. Users can send data by Virtual COM port, and Virtual COM port will transfer
data to Ethernet by windows socket. The Virtual COM driver maps IP Address / Port of ICS-10x to a local COM port on the
Remote Host (Computer). Once the Virtual COM connection is established, the applications work as the serial device is
direct connected to the Remote Host’s real COM port. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both
directions.

While using Pair Connection mode for two RS-232 services distance extend, the DB9/RS-232 cables
are very importance in this application. There are much kind of RS-232 cables, such as straight cable
(standard) and Null-Modem cable. Please make sure the DB9/RS-232 cables match the below
constriction:
„
Serial Device to ICS-10x/Remote (Slave) – Use the original RS-232 serial cable attached in the
serial device package.
„

Users can use the Null-Modem cable directly connect to the ICS-10x (Master), or use the Null-Modem
DB9 connector, as the picture shows:
Once the Pair Connection mode of two ICS-10x be correctly configured but still fail link, check the
