Page 12: Serial Communication Interfaces
2.4 Serial Communication Interfaces Two communication interfaces are supported in the iServer: RS232 and RS-485. These standards define the electrical characteristics of a communication network. The RS485 port of the iServer is fully compatible for use with RS422 instruments. The RS485 is an extended version of the RS422 communication standard which increases the allowable number of devices from 10 to 32 by improving the electrical characteristics. -

Page 14: Wiring Rs485 Interface
2.4.2 Wiring RS485 Interface RS485 interface uses a two-wire communication system (one for transmitting and one for receiving) plus a common wire to connect to the shield of the cable. It is recommended to use a shielded cable with one twisted pair. Use of twisted pair and shield will significantly improve noise immunity. -
Page 15: Network Communication Interfaces
2.5 Network Communication Interfaces 2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data signals. -
Page 16: Part 3: Network Configuration
PART 3 NETWORK CONFIGURATION 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It is also supported by ARP and HTTP protocols. TCP/IP networking protocols are superimposed into a local Ethernet network until, if so desired, a connection is made to the Internet. -
Page 17: Default Ip Address
3.3.1 Default IP Address The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 128.100.101.254. If you are going to use a Web browser or HTTPGET program to access the device, make sure that the default IP address is available to the instrument before processing. If the factory default address is already in use in your network, use the Ethernet crossover cable connected to one computer to access the device and modify the IP address from factory defaults. -
Page 18: Part 4: Serial Interface Configuration
PART 4 SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION An industrial device with serial interfaces (PLC, CNC controllers, PC, Data Display Devices, etc.) can be connected to the serial port of the iServer. 4.1 Communication Protocol A data communication protocol defines the rules and structure of messages used by all devices on a network for data exchange. - Page 19 Where: "*" is the selected Recognition Character. You may select any ASCII table symbol from "!" (HEX address "21") to the right-hand brace (HEX "7D") except for the caret "^", "A", "E", which are reserved for bus format request. "ccc" stands for the hex-ASCII Command Class letter (one of eleven given in Table 4.1), followed by the two hex-ASCII Command Suffix characters identifying the meter data, features, or menu items to which the command is directed.

Page 20: Part 5: Operations
PART 5 OPERATIONS 5.1 Modifying the IP Address The IP Address may be set via the network by using "Setip" DOS program. The setip.exe file is used to set a new IP Address. This file will be automatically installed when you run any iServer related software available on our website and CD. Example to use the "setip"... - Page 21 For example: C:\iServer\Setip\setip 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B 128.100.101.33 for MAC address in Hexadecimal C:\iServer\Setip\setip 10.12.61.11.10.11 128.100.101.33 for MAC address in decimal 6. Make sure that the iServer has a new IP address by pinging the new IP address C:\ping 128.100.101.33 If you got the following respond, it means that your device now has the new IP address: Pinging 128.100.101.33 with 32 bytes of data.

Page 22: Httpget Program
5.2 HTTPGET Program You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPGET program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server firmware by using TCP port 1000. The command string sends to this TCP port, then it reads back the response from the same port. -
Page 23: Arp Protocol
5.3 ARP Protocol ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for determining the MAC (hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer (residing on the same network) or remote computer (residing on the different network) through a router. -

Page 37: Appendix Aglossary
APPENDIX A GLOSSARY User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions: ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long. - Page 38 Appendix B IP Address An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes: • A network ID number identifying a network. • A host ID number identifying a computer on the network. All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C •...

Page 39: Appendix C Ip Netmask
Appendix C IP Netmask IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID. -
