CSE-H55N2 User Manual Ver. 1.0 This symbol, found on your product or on its packaging, indicates that this product should not be treated as household waste when you wish to dispose of it. Instead, it should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
To overcome those weaknesses, we offer “Serial Networking Solution” which allows the serial devices to transmit/receive data over unlimited distance. CSE-H55N2 is one of “serial networking” devices which lets the serial devices to connect to the Internet by converting serial data to TCP/IP packet, and vice versa.

There is a switch, which is named function switch (or button) located on the side of the product. You can change the operation mode of CSE-H55N2 to ISP or Serial Configuration mode with this switch. And it is used for factory reset.
Before testing CSE-H55N2, users should connect both serial and Ethernet port to a PC. To connect the RS232 port of your PC and CSE-H55N2 via serial, you need a RS232 to RS422/RS485 converter. It will be no problem that the Ethernet connection includes network hubs.
CSE-H55N2 User Manual Ver. 1.0 2.1.1 Setting Network Area This step is for setting both CSE-H55N2 and users’ PC to be located the same network. If only they are, the TCP connection between them can be established. Setting of the PC Add or change the IP address of the network adapter on your PC like following.

3.1.2 Configuration via Serial Checklists To use serial configuration, COM port of PC should be connected with CSE-H55N2. Because CSE-H55N2 doesn’t have a RS232 port, a RS232 to RS422/485 converter is needed. Of course, CSE-H55N2 should be in operation as [Serial Configuration Mode].
Checklists Make sure the connection between your PC and CSE-H55N2 using RS232 cross cable. To use this, CSE-H55N2 has to be set to [AT command] mode as its communication mode. This can be configured by ezManager. Figure 3-5 setting the communication mode to the AT command ...
CSE-H55N2 User Manual Ver. 1.0 Operation Modes 4.1 What is the Operation Mode? Each of three operation mode of CSE-H55N2 is defined for specific purpose, and those are as follows Normal mode This mode is for normal data communication and has 4 different connection modes.
CSE-H55N2 User Manual Ver. 1.0 4.3 Comparison of each mode Name Serial port Serial type Normal configured value RS422 / RS485 Serial Configuration 115,200/N/8/1 RS422 Table 4-1 comparison of each mode 4.4 Normal Mode In normal mode, there are four connection types to communication with a remote host.
4.6.2 Revoking Serurity Options CSE-H55N2 offers restriction methods for security like filtering password or MAC and IP address. In the ISP mode, you can revoke all of these. When you forgot the password, enter the ISP mode to solve the problem.
Communication Modes 5.1 TCP Server In this mode, CSE-H55N2 listens to a TCP connection request from a remote host. Once a host tries connecting to CSE-H55N2, it accepts a connection. After the connection is established, CSE-H55N2 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data and sends it to the network and vice versa.

In this mode, CSE-H55N2 sends request segments to a TCP server with information of [Peer Address] and [Peer Port]. Once a host is listening, the connection will be established. After then, CSE-H55N2 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data and sends them to the network and vice versa.
