Grounding the Device Server  
WARNING  
Transition Networks  
Be sure to disconnect power before installing and wiring the Device Server.  
Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.  
Wiring  
The following wiring considerations are recommended:  
considerations  
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and device data cables. If power  
wiring and device data cables must cross make sure that the wires are  
perpendicular at the intersection point.  
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire  
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics route  
separately.  
Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should  
be kept separate. The rule of thumb is wiring that shares similar electrical  
characteristics can be bundled together.  
Keep input and output wiring separated.  
Label the wiring to all devices in the system for clarity.  
CAUTION  
The Device Server must be mounted to a well-grounded surface. Failure to  
observe this caution could result in EMI problems.  
Device server  
grounding  
The Device Server can eliminate the effects of noise due to electromagnetic  
interference (EMI) via proper grounding. Always run the ground connection from  
the ground screw to a grounding surface before connecting DC power. See Figure 5.

Redundant  
power  
Dual (redundant) power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power  
sources. See Figure 6. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a  
backup, and automatically supplies the Device Server with power.  
Figure 6: Redundant Power Connections  
IMPORTANT  
Power is supplied through an external DC power source. Check the Technical  
Specification section for information about the DC power input voltage.  
The Device Server does not include a power switch; therefore, plugging a wired  
and active terminal-block plug into its terminal block will immediately power UP  
the unit.

Description  
Server/Client Type  
Defines whether the Device Server is acting as a  
server or a client. In Device Server Mode, this  
setting will always be Server. In Converter Mode,  
this setting can be either Server or Client.  
Remote IP  
In Converter Mode, enter the IP address of the  
remote device. This field is NOT USED in Device  
Server Mode.  
TCP Port Number  
Device Server mode (DS): the TCP port number is  
the number that the Device Server uses to listen for  
connections; also, other devices must use this port  
to contact the Device Server.  
Converter mode: both converters use the TCP port  
number to communicate with the host.  
Connection Idle Time  
This setting only applies to Converter Mode. The  
time value (in seconds) is the maximum time that  
the TCP port will remain open with no activity.  
Once the time value is reached, the Device server  
closes the port to prevent the port from remaining  
open indefinitely. This field is NOT USED in  
Device Server mode.  
DS/CR Modes  
Device server (DS) mode, also know as TCP/IP  
mode, is used to connect a serial device to a host via  
an Ethernet network. This mode allows using an  
existing COM-port-based software platform across  
an existing Ethernet LAN. See Figure 22.

Use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Device  
Server. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the Device Server and  
on the SNMP network management station (NMS) to use the same community  
string. This management method uses two community strings: “get” community  
string and “set” community string:  
If the SNMP NMS knows the “Set” community string, it can read and write to the  
MIBs.  
If it only knows the “Get” community string, it can only read MIBs.  
The default get and “Set” community strings for the Device Server are “public” and  
“private” respectively.  
When new parameters are assigned, click the SAVE button to implement the new  
settings. Click the RESET button to restore the original parameters if the changes  
have not been saved.

Serial IP redirect software description  
COM port  
usage  
The Serial/IP Redirector Software adds "virtual" COM ports to Windows operating  
systems. Similar to regular COM ports that allow PC applications to use local serial  
ports, Serial/IP COM ports allow PC applications to use the serial port on the Device  
Server. Because Serial/IP COM ports work like regular COM ports, PC applications  
do not have to be changed to use the Device Server through the Serial/IP Redirector.  
Operating  
environment  
The Serial/IP Redirector software runs as a kernel-level device driver in the  
Windows operating system. This means that Serial/IP COM ports are available to PC  
applications at all times, even if no user is logged in. The Serial/IP Redirector is a  
high-performance kernel-mode driver with a small “footprint,” modest memory  
requirements and low overhead. The Serial/IP applet in the Windows control panel  
configures Serial/IP COM ports and displays their activity.  
Configuration  
wizard  
The Serial/IP Redirector software detects and uses the specific protocol supported by  
the Device Server. When configuring Serial/IP COM port, use the Serial/IP  
Configuration Wizard to verify immediately that the Serial/IP Redirector can  
communicate with the Device Server over the network.  
Networked  
The networked pieces fit together in the following manner:  
device server  
Stage  
Description  
A.  
Install the Device Server on the network and connect a device to its serial  
port.  
B.  
C.  
Configure the Device Server so that its serial port is available to the  
network via TCP/IP.  
Install the Serial/IP Redirector software on the PC that will use the device  
attached to the Device Server.  
D.  
E.  
Configure the Serial/IP Redirector software to create a virtual COM port.  
Specify the IP address of a Device Server and the TCP port number that  
provides access to its serial port.  
F.  
In the PC application, change settings to use the Serial/IP COM port  
instead of the local COM port.  
G.  
Thereafter, the PC application can use the serial port on the Device Server  
instead of local serial ports.

Getting started and software pre-installations considerations  
Pre-installation Supported platforms:  
considerations  
Intel-compatible PCs with 32-bit Pentium-class processor  
At least 4 megabytes free space on the boot drive  
Windows XP sp1 or sp2, Server 2003, 2000, NT 4.0 sp6, 98/95/Me, Microsoft  
.NT/2000/2003 Terminal Server, Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite  
VMware  
Software requirements:  
Windows Installer 2.0 or later: This software is included in Windows XP and  
later, and is available for NT 4.0, 2000 and 95 from the Microsoft Download  
Center. It is also available for Windows 98 in Internet Explorer 5.5

Network requirements:  
A TCP/IP network connection from the local computer to the serial Device  
Server.  
The throughput and performance of the network connection must exceed the  
requirements of the application in total. (An Ethernet local area network will  
easily meet this requirement.)  
If firewalls are in the network path to the serial Device Server, they must allow  
TCP connections to the server on the TCP port number(s) on which the server  
provides its devices. If used, this includes Windows XP service-pack 2 firewall.  
What is  
needed?  
Before installing the Serial/IP Redirector software, do the following:  
Step  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Action  
Obtain administrator privileges before installing the software.
