Page 18: Connecting Vesr9Xx Serial Servers To Serial Devices
CONNECTING VESR9XX SERIAL SERVERS TO SERIAL DEVICES VESR9xx Serial Servers can be configured to connect to serial devices using RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 2-wire and RS-485 4-wire. RS-232 connections support eight signal lines plus Signal Ground. Signals are single ended and referenced to Ground. Default communications parameters are 9600, 8, N, 1 and no flow control implemented. -
Page 19: Connecting The Vesr901-X
If you select RS-232 mode when you configure the serial server, you must connect the serial device to the serial server via a serial cable. The VESR901 is a DTE. If the serial device is a DTE, use a null modem (cross-over) cable. If the serial device is a DCE, use a straight-through cable. -
Page 20: Connecting The Vesr902D-X
VESR902T-x Connections CONNECTING THE VESR902D-X The VESR902D-x has two serial connections that support RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 (2- and 4-wire). The unit has two connectors, both of which are DB-9M connectors. You must connect the serial device to the serial server via a serial cable. The VESR902D is a DTE. -
Page 21: Connecting Vesr9Xx Serial Servers To A Network
CONNECTING VESR9XX SERIAL SERVERS TO A NETWORK NETWORK CONNECTION (10BASET/100BASETX) When connecting a serial server equipped with a 10BaseT/100BaseTX network connection (RJ45 connector) a standard network cable is connected from the serial server to a network drop. PCs configuring and/or communicating with the serial server are also connected to the network. -
Page 22: Vesr9Xx Serial Server Configuration Connections
VESR9XX SERIAL SERVER CONFIGURATION CONNECTIONS VESR9xx Serial Servers can be configured over the network or via a serial port. CONFIGURING THE VESR9XX SERIAL SERVER VIA THE NETWORK CONNECTION When configuring via the network, either Vlinx Manager software or the web interface can be used. -
Page 23: Configuring The Vesr9Xx Serial Server Via The Serial Port (Console Mode)
CONFIGURING WITH THE WEB INTERFACE VESR9xx Serial Servers can be configured over the network using a standard internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. To open the web configuration interface: 1. On a PC connected to the network, open a browser. In the browser’s address bar, type the IP address of the serial server. -
Page 24: Vesr9Xx Serial Server Operational Connections
The serial server is in Console Mode when: On the VESR901: Port 1 LED is On and the Ready LED is Off. On VESR902x models: Port 1 LED is On and the Port 2 LED is Off. To configure the serial server, open the Vlinx Manager software and set up the serial server's parameters as required. -
Page 25: Using Vesr9Xx Serial Servers In Direct Ip Mode
USING VESR9XX SERIAL SERVERS IN DIRECT IP MODE A Direct IP connection allows applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket programs to communicate with the COM ports on the serial server. In this type of application the serial server is configured as a TCP or UDP server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a communication connection with the serial server. -
Page 26: Using Vesr9Xx Serial Servers In Paired Mode
new COM port, it communicates directly with the remote serial device connected to the serial server. To set up a Virtual COM Port Mode connection: 1. Connect the serial server to the network and a serial device as described in previous sections. Configure the serial server for VCOM operation (using Vlinx Manager). -
Page 27: Initiating A Hardware Reset On The Serial Server
The serial server is in Reset Mode when: On the VESR901: Port 1 LED is On and the Ready LED is Off. On VESR902x models: Port 1 LED is On and the Port 2 LED is Off. The LEDs go back to their normal states when the device resumes normal operation. -
Page 28: Description Of Serial Server Properties
DESCRIPTION OF SERIAL SERVER PROPERTIES The following serial server properties are ordered alphabetically to assist you in finding the information you need. BAUD RATE Baud Rate is the communication speed of the link between the serial server and the device attached to its serial port. Both these devices must be configured to operate at the same baud rate. -
Page 29: Default Gateway
The number of Data bits, type of Parity and number of Stop bits selected define the serial port parameters at which the serial server will operate. These parameters must be configured to match the parameters set on the serial device connected to the serial server's serial port. -
Page 30: How Delimiters Work
Delimiter Removal controls removing of Delimiter 1 and Delimiter 2 from the received characters before the received characters are sent to the network. HOW DELIMITERS WORK When only Delimiter 2 (the end delimiter) is enabled, characters received by the serial port are accumulated in a buffer. When the end delimiter is received on the serial port, the buffered characters, including the end delimiter, are sent to the network. -
Page 31: Firmware Version
A dynamic address assigned by the DHCP server may change if the server loses the Ethernet connection or power is removed. If a device on the network that normally communicates with the serial server is configured to communicate with a specific IP address of the serial server, and the IP address has been changed, the device will not be able to communicate with the serial server. -
Page 32: Ip Address
the number of network packets, but increase the amount of time to receive characters. Smaller values may increase the number of network packets, but decrease the amount of time to receive characters. The range is 1 through 65535. IP ADDRESS Software or hardware attempting to access the serial server via the network must know the IP Address of the server. - Page 33 Use the Vlinx™ Manager Software to search for, discover, and configure the unit. 2. Method Two: Change the serial server’s network setting to match your PC using Console Mode Connect a null modem serial cable (crossover cable) from Port 1 on the serial server to an available COM port on your PC.
