Page 24: Advantech Eki Device Configuration Utility Overview
Advantech EKI Device Configuration Utility overview Advantech provides an easy-to-use configuration utility to configure your EKI-1510X series serial device server through an Ethernet connection. For secure administra- tion, you can lock up the devices with password. After locking with the password, only the persons who know the password can configure the password protected device. -
Page 25: Discovering Your Serial Device Server
3.2.1 Auto Searching Advantech’s EKI Device Configuration Utility will automatically search all the sup- ported devices periodically, and show on the Device List Area of the utility. The utility provides an auto-search function to show your devices by simply executing the con- figuration utility program from the Start Menu. -
Page 26: Cleaning The Device List And Searching Again
3.2.2 Cleaning the Device List and Searching Again You can click the button on the “Quick Toolbar”. The utility will clear all listed devices in the Device List Area and re-search again. You can click the button on the “Quick Toolbar”. The utility will search for devices again without cleaning the device list. -
Page 27: Setting Ethernet Parameters
Setting Ethernet Parameters This section explains how to configure the device network with configuration utility. Click on the Ethernet interface node under the device node. The Ethernet configura- tion page will be shown in the Configuration Area. EKI-1511X/1512X User Manual... - Page 28 IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway: The IP address identifies your Advantech serial device server on the global network. Each EKI-1510 series has the same default IP address 10.0.0.1. Obtain these spe- cific IP addresses from your network administrator and then configure each Advan- tech serial device server with individual IP addresses, related Subnet Mask and Gateway Setting.
-
Page 29: Setting Serial Parameters
DNS Setting In order to use the DNS feature, you need to set the IP address of DNS server to be able to access the host with the domain name. The device provides Primary DNS server and Secondary DNS server configuration items to set the IP address of the DNS server. -
Page 30: Basic Configuration
The device comes with COM port redirector (virtual COM driver) that works. The driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial device by map- ping the IP of Advantech serial device server serial port to a local COM port on the host computer. - Page 31 Host Idle Timeout (10 to 255 seconds): The “Host Idle Timeout” setting monitors the connection between the host and the device. If the “Host Idle Timeout” setting time is reached, the device server will release the resources allocated to the port mapping. This prevents a stalled host from affecting the connective device.
- Page 32 Round-Robin mode: After enabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the device will operate in “Round- Robin mode”. Each serial port supports up to five simultaneous connections, so mul- tiple hosts can transmit/receive data to/from the same serial port simultaneously. Every host can transmit data to the same serial port simultaneously, but the device will process the data communication in order.
-
Page 33: Data Mode (Usdg Mode)
3.5.2 Data Mode (USDG Mode) The device can be Data Server or Data Client either. Both operations support TCP and UDP protocol. The device makes your serial devices behave just like networking devices. You can issue commands or transmit data from serial devices, which con- nected to the device server, to any devices that are connected to the Internet. - Page 34 Each port has its own data listen port to accept connected request of other network device. So, the data listen port can’t be set the same value. You can transmit/receive data to/from device via the data listen port. Command Listen Port Each port has its own command listen port to accept connected request of other net- work device.
- Page 35 Frame Break is a very important parameter for Round Robin mode. This parameter is the smart way to reduce inefficient waiting time and the device can transmit data more efficiently. Disabling the Frame Break function, the device server will wait “Response Timeout”...
- Page 36 Peer Number Set the number of network device which you want to connect. You can set a maxi- mum of sixteen network devices which you want to connect. You need to fill out the IP Address and Port of network devices which you want to connect. Data Pack Data pack means you can set condition of receiving data from serial port to be a package according to your application.
-
Page 37: Control Mode (Usdg Mode)
3.5.3 Control Mode (USDG Mode) In Control Mode, the EKI device presents a modem interface to the attached serial device: it accepts AT-style modem commands to connect/disconnect to other net- working device. If you want serial device running application program to connect/dis- connect to different devices dynamically, you can use controlling mode. -
Page 38: Control Mode Command List
Dial-in (Use TCP connect to serial port of EKI) EKI listens for a TCP/IP connection request from the remote host. When a TCP con- nection is coming, there will have prompt string "RING" shows on serial port site. After the system prompting the "RING" string, user can use "ATA" command to accept the connection or just ignore it. -
Page 39: Advanced Settings
Advanced Settings The serial device server provides the advanced settings for some special applica- tions which need critical time requirements. In normal applications, these settings are recommended not to be set to avoid the unusual action happened. Enable Delay Time (ms) When you enable the delay time, the serial port will postpone the received data for the time interval you set, and then send the received data to the TCP/IP network. - Page 40 RTL (Receiver Trigger Level) It determines how often or when the receiver interrupt will be triggered. TTL (Transmitter Trigger Level) It determines how often or when the transmitter will be triggered. FCL (Flow Control Lower Trigger Level) FCH (Flow Control Higher Trigger Level) It determines when the transmission will be suspend or resume.
