to the connection adapter provided with the
FieldServer or the Driver Kit. Then plug the
connection adapter to the node.
2.2. Mounting
The FS-X20 Series FieldServer is supplied
with an accessory bag which allows
selection of adhesive feet (for standing on a
shelf) or mounting plates for wall or panel
mount. A DIN Rail Mounting Kit (P/N FS-
8915-28) may be ordered separately.
If using RS-485 from the node to the FS-
X2010, the + and - wire connections can be
used on the RS-485 port on the FieldServer.
For the FS-X2011, LonWorks® enabled
modules, the orange port is the TP/FT-10
connection, and the RS-485 connection
needs to be made via the serial RJ-45 port.
To change between RS-232 and RS-485
connection, it is necessary to modify
jumpers on the internal board. Refer to
eNote00172 for further information.
2.3. Wiring
The 110VAC to 9VDC or 24VDC/ power
supply received with the unit needs to be
plugged into a power source and then
connected to the back of the FieldServer
using the SPA59136 connector. This power
supply is designed to temporarily provide the
9-24V 100mA required by the FieldServer
during testing and start-up. Permanent 9-
30V, 100mA power will need to be provided
for continuous operation.
Ethernet
connections

cable with an RJ45 connector between the
FieldServer and the network. Note that

The FS-X20 Series FieldServer is shipped
as either a FS-X20XX-01 in which case the
RS-232 port is activated, or as a FS-X20XX-
02 in which case the RS-485 port is
activated.
principles apply, and a Crossover cable
must be used.
Note that the USB port is not activated.
If using an RS-232 RJ45 Serial connection
then use one of the RJ45 cables to connect
from the appropriate port on the FieldServer

Confirm that there is an Ethernet
adapter installed in the PC’s Device
Manager List, and that it is configured to
run the TCP/IP protocol.
If using Windows XP, ensure that the
firewall is disabled.
3. Operation
3.1. Install and Run the Utility
Software
The FieldServer is shipped with a utility CD-
ROM containing all the utility software that
needs to be installed.
3.3. Connect using “Remote User
Interface” (RUINET)
Browse to the Remote User Interface icon in
the Start menu directory and click on it - the
RUI menu screen should appear.
All configuration file transfers and system
diagnostics are executed via the RUI or
“Remote User Interface” which is installed
with the utility software.
Refer to the FieldServer Utilities manual for
further information.
Insert the supplied Utility CD into the PC and
follow the installation instructions on the
screen.
3.4. Use RUINET to change the
FieldServer IP Address and
Network
Once installed, the FieldServer Utilities can
be located in the Windows Start menu.
Should it be necessary to change the IP
address of the FieldServer, this can be done
via the “I” screen on Ruinet. Refer to the
FieldServer Utilities manual for details.
Refer to the FieldServer Utilities manual for
information on how to connect to the
FieldServer via serial or Ethernet ports.
3.5. Upload the Default
Configuration
3.2. Use PING to Identify the
FieldServer on the Network

good. (Refer to Appendix B)
Check the “Activity” LED on the Ethernet
connection (see Figure 2-3), this should
flash at least once every 2 seconds if
RUI is still running, and perhaps more
often, depending on network traffic.
(Refer to Appendix B)
Check that the IP netmask of the PC
matches the FieldServer. This means
the first three sections of both IP
addresses match.

Note that FieldServer usually supplies
firmware upgrades as an install.zip, for
which a separate procedure is used, see
FieldServer utilities Manual for more
information.
3.7. Download the Updated
Configuration File
Before attempting to send files to the
FieldServer, ensure that the files are in the
3.8. Test and commission the
FieldServer
configuration file folder.
Refer to the
FieldServer Utilities manual for further
information.
