V. Software setup This product supports three types of setup, i.e., WEB-based, Telnet-based and console based terminal setups. The WEB-based setup procedure is described in detail in the following. The procedures for other setup are similar to it. 1.Entering the setup window Open the browser and type in the IP address of GPORT (default factory IP address:... - Page 5 3.Connect setup Select Connect, and the above window appears. GPORT supports two IP address setup methods, i.e., automatic IP address obtainment by the DHCP server and manual setup. DHCP method: there is a DHCP server in the LAN that GPORT is connected to. Select Dynamic IP of GPORT.
- Page 6 4.Mode setup This is for the setup of the working modes for all ports of GPORT. The working modes that GPORT supports presently include: Real TTY( Gvmodem) Real TTY( COM) TCP Client TCP Server UDP Send UDP Receiver The following table shows the configuration of working modes and the mainframes. Working mode GPORT Mainframe...
- Page 7 4.1.Real TTY Mode setup To ensure clients’ use under different mainframe operation systems, GPORT provides two fixed port modes, i.e., Real TTY à COM and Real TTY à Gvmodem The COM mode allows clients to map the GPORT ports into expanded COM ports of the mainframe under WINDOWS and into expanded TTY ports under SCO UNIX.
- Page 8 4.2.TCP Server mode setup TCP Server mode is applicable for users who use Telnet or Socket connecting programs to connect GPORT with its designated ports. TCP Port: Input the TCP port number to be monitored. Mode: Select Telnet if the user uses standard Telnet for connection or the connection program that the user uses requires Telnet negotiation.
- Page 9 4.4.UDP Receive mode setup To set up the port into the UDP Receive mode, just add the UDP port number. UDP Port: Add the port number of the UDP port to be monitored by GPORT. 4.5.UDP Send mode setup With UDP Send mode, the user can designate a maximum amount of 4 mainframes. Upon reception of data, GPORT ports will send them to the mainframes designated by the user simultaneously for multi- mainframe backup.
- Page 10 5.GPORT port parameter setup Select serialàsetup, and you will see the above window. Then you can set up serial port parameters according to the equipment connected with the GPORT ports. Parameters to be set up include: baud rate, parity, data bit, stop bit and flow control. 6.Checking the connection of all ports Select serialàstatus, and you will see the current connection status of all GPORT ports.
- Page 11 7.Checking the status of the GPORT system Select systemàstatus, and you will see the current status of the GPORT system. Information displayed includes: Version of Firmware, server name, MAC address, IP address, network mask and default gateway. 8.Resetting and restarting the system Select systemàsetup, and you will see 2 selection buttons.
- Page 12 9.Changing user name and password Select systemàpassword, and you can change the user name and password set up in and managed by GPORT. The next time you enter the GPORT setting, you need to enter the new user name and password you have set up.
- Page 13 The following window will appear when the ping is successful. The following window will appear when the ping is not successful.
- Page 14 3. Connect the super terminal to the CONSOLE of GPORT. Press the RESET button in the GPORT and turn on power of GPORT104. Do not release the button until “Enter Wait HG Command Mode..” appears in the terminal. The following information will appear in the terminal: LAN initialize..

- Page 17 Appendix I. GPORT Application Modes 1. Expanding the number of serial ports of the mainframe Usually, mainframes (Unix mainframes or common PC) incorporate only a limited number of serial ports themselves. However, many applications require a large number of serial ports to get connected with multiple serial port equipment and to enable the mainframes to control this equipment.
- Page 18 2. Equipment console management A lot of equipment, including routers, program controlled switches, UPS, LAN switches and various network devices, provide consoles to allow administrators more convenient management. Under usual circumstances, administrators can do detailed configuration by connecting the consoles of these equipment to the COM ports of the terminals or mainframes.
- Page 19 4. Transparent TCP/IP connections among serial ports In real world environment, there are often such requirements: an RS-232 port of specific equipment at location A needs to be connected with an RS-232 interface of specific equipment in location B. As location A and location B are connected with TCP/IP networks, it is necessary to have the equipment capable of establishing a transparent TCP/IP channel between the two serial ports.
