2.4 Network Communication Interfaces 2.4.1 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.
PART 3 NeTWoRk coNFIGURATIoN 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address.
3.3 DHCP DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, enables computers and network devices to receive their IP configurations from a DHCP server. If DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer that is connected to the network is powered on, there will be an exchange of information between the iServer and the DHCP server.
3.5 Default IP Address The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254.
PART 4 oPeRATIoNS This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using iConnect Configuration Software. If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network DHCP and DNS server.
4.1 iConnect Software The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iConnect software. Download the iConnect software from the website listed in this manual. Install iConnect software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP. Use iConnect to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages for configuration.

4.3.3 Configuration (continued) B) Terminal Server TCP/UDP*: The iServer supports TCP and UDP protocols (default is TCP). If UDP is selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case of Broadcast UDP, the iServer will transmit the data to every node on the network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to 255.255.255.255.
4.3.4 Sensor Parameters (continued) Remote Display Format: Remote display format is used for Terminal Server continuous mode. This determines the data format sent by the iServer to a remote network node (e.g. iLD Display) H37.9% in humidity setting displays H, and 37.9% is the humidity value displayed. Example: if the humidity is 37.9, then H37.9% will be seen on the remote display.

4.3.5 Configure Access Control (continued) Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the iServer.
4.5.1 HTTPget using Port 1000 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 iServer firmware by using TCP port 1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same socket.
4.5.2 HTTPget and ARP to setup Device IP Address Use the iConnect software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible. Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command: arp –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-06-b6 Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:...
4.6 ARP Protocol (continued) The following window shows examples of arp commands and responses. • Your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.118 • The destination computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.96 C:\>arp - 192.168.1.96 No ARP Entries Found C:\>ping 192.168.1.96 Pinging 192.168.1.96 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.96=bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=32...
4.7 Remote Access (Tunneling) To "tunnel", in this context, is to transmit data between two points through a private conduit on a shared or public network. The network could be an Ethernet LAN, a WAN, or the Internet. There is a Serial-to-Ethernet iServer that allows for a connection between a serial device and a PC, or between two serial devices, using an existing network rather than dedicated wiring.
4.7.1 Local iServer 1. An IP address should be assigned to the iServer dynamically or statically (recommended). 2. Use a browser to access the Local iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.49) followed by an Enter key. You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.
4.7.2 Remote iServer 1. An IP address should be assigned to the iServer either statically or using a DHCP server. Refer to the DHCP section of the user’s manual for details. Use a browser to access the Remote iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e.
