- Page 2 LIN101 is a Serial Device Server, the main function of the LIN101 is to network-enable existing serial devices. Using the LIN101 you can add an Ethernet port practically to any serial device with RS232 interface. It is possible to communicate with any serial device from any PC (or other device) connected to the LAN.
- Page 3 There are three basic ways to communicate with the LIN101: • with a serial device controlled via the network using an existing PC software, then you can use the LIN101 to network-enable this serial device and communicate with it from the PC through our Virtual Serial Port Driver (VSPD).

LIN101 has two operating modes: • Normal Mode: is entered after the powerup, it is in the Normal Mode that the LIN101 performs its Etherne/Serial data routing. Network Programming of the LIN101 can also proceed in the Normal Mode in parallel with the data routing ELPRO Video Labs s.r.l. - Page 5 Serial Programming Mode: is entered pressing the SETUP button or escape sequence is sent into the LIN101 serial port while the LIN101 is in the Normal Mode. This mode is used to program the LIN101’s functioning parameters (Settings) via the serial port 1.3 Status LED signals...
- Page 6 2.2 Serial comunications The serial port of the LIN101 supports TX, RX, CTS, and RTS signals and can work at baudrates up to 115200. In the Normal Mode the serial port transmits the data between the LIN101 and attached serial device (microcontroller). In the Serial Programming Mode the port is used to program the LIN101’s Settings.
- Page 7 Gateway IP when using the LIN101 in the Slave Routing Mode; In the Master Routing Mode the LIN101 needs to be able to send the data to a predefined remote station at any time. This means that not only LIN101’s own IP-address and Data Port Number must be set but also the Destination IP- address and the Destination Data Port Number.
- Page 8 Many clients to one data source operation is achieved by using the LIN101 in the Slave Routing Mode. The LIN101 will reply to any sender in this mode, so any station will be able to access the host serial device with the LIN101 inside.
- Page 9 When Start On Any Character is set to “yes” the LIN101 will accept any character following the end of the previous serial data block as the beginning of the next block. When Start On Any Character is set to “no” the LIN101 will only open the serial data block when one of the preset Start Characters is received.
- Page 10 Serial -> Ethernet buffer the only way to protect the buffer is to enable the RTS/CTS Flow Control in the LIN101 and on the host serial device. This way the LIN101 will be able to signal the host serial device to stop transmitting the data once the buffer becomes full.
