MiiNePort E1/E2-SDK
Connecting to the Network
To connect to the network for testing and development purposes, install the module on the evaluation board
and then plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 jack on the module. If the cable is properly connected, the LED
on the module will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows:

When using a private IP address (factory default) for the module, make sure the netmask and IP settings are
configured properly to access the module from a host on the network.
Connecting to a Serial Device
To connect to a serial device for testing and development purposes, the module should be installed on the
evaluation board. Make sure the serial interface is configured correctly before connecting the evaluation board
to the serial device. (Refer to Selecting the Serial Interface section above when you are using jumper blocks
to select the serial interface on the evaluation board.) The module's serial signals are routed to and from the
RS-232 or RS-485 COM port on the evaluation board. Use a serial data cable to connect the serial device to the
COM port on the evaluation board.
Digital I/O Channel Settings
For MiiNePort E1-SDK Evaluation Board Layout
Each module has three digital I/O (DIO) channels. (Refer to the Pin Assignments section above for the
module's configurable DIO pin description. Refer to Configurable Pin Jumpers to select the corresponding
setting on the evaluation board.) All three DIO channels may be configured by software. A DI channel is a
channel that is operating in digital input mode; a DO channel is a channel that is operating in digital output
mode. You may use the evaluation board's Digital Output LEDs and Digital Input DIP switches as the digital
input and output devices, or you may connect digital input/output devices to the DIO Terminal Block.
For channels in digital output mode, Low and High status is controlled from within the web console. When
using a Digital Output LED as your output device, Low status will be expressed by the LED lighting up, and
High status will be expressed by the LED turning off.
