Ethernet Adaptor 01-103 1 Introduction 1.1 About Ethernet Adaptor (EAD01-103) - Overview EAD01-103 is a Device that converts RS-232 serial data into TCP/IP protocol. It enables remote gauging, managing and control of a Serial Device through the network based on Ethernet and TCP/IP by connecting to the existing equipment with RS-232 serial interface.
Ethernet Adaptor 01-103 1.2.2. Internet Protocol (IP) Address To identify an individual computer/device on the IP network, the device must have a unique IP address in a Network. The current version of Internet Protocol uses a four-byte number, expressed in dotted decimal notation.
Ethernet Adaptor 01-103 3.3. LED functions Four LED‟s are located on the top of the unit. One Marked as POWER, which has RED LED, second one marked as CONNECT which has YELLOW LED, third one marked as TX which has GREEN LED, fourth one marked as RX which has YELLOW LED The following table explains their functions.

Ethernet Adaptor 01-103 ______________________________________________________________________ Baud rate Baud was the prevalent measure for data transmission speed until replaced by a more accurate term, bps (bits per second). One baud is one electronic state change per second. Since a single state change can involve more than a single bit of data, the bps unit of measurement has replaced it as a better expression of data transmission speed.
