Product Views USB host Antenna for OpenWrt only RS-232/422/485 Ethernet RJ45 Antenna Connector The connector for antenna is a standard reverse SMA jack. Simply connect it to a 2.0dBi dipole antenna (Standard Rubber Duck) and it is 50 Ohms impedance and can support 2.4GHz frequency Ethernet Port The connector for network is the usual RJ45.
DC-IN Power Outlet WPC-832-CON is powered by a 12V DC (Inner positive, outer negative) power supply and 1.0A current. Connecting the AC plug to the AC power socket and put the DC Jack plug into the outlet of device. The “SYS” (or “PWR”) green color LED will be ON when power properly supplied. Terminal Block (2 wires) power supply is alternative.
Wiring Architecture 1. RS-232 2. RS-422/RS-485 When you finish the steps mentioned above and the LED indicators are as shown, the Gateway is installed correctly. You can check the Software Setup CD to find Utility to setup the IP Address. To proceed with the parameters setup, please use a web browser (IE or Chrome) to continue the settings.
Configuration When setting up this Concentrator for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure the IP address. The following topics are covered in this chapter: IP Search Utility Setup Configuration through Web browser...
IP Search Utility Setup Copy “CvIotFinder Setup.exe” from CD ROM to your host computer. “CvIotFinder” is a self-extract-install program. Double click it to install this Wi-Fi IP Searching tool into host computer. Upon running IP search tool (CvIotFinder), if a firewall warning pop up, please click to accept the program pass through firewall.

1.3 NTP: Enable / Disable NTP function; Set up NTP server and Time Zone. 1.4 Firmware update: If necessary, click “Browse” to open file manager. Then, select the file with specified version and click “open” button. When the selected file name appears on the input column, click “Update” button. 1.5 Up to now, Setup is successfully configured.
Network page 2.1 Wi-Fi configuration: 2.1.1 Type: Click to select “Access Point” or “Infrastructure”. “Infrastructure” is for connecting to a Router. 2.1.2 If select “ACCESS POINT”, input password for the AP and assign IP address with “DHCP” or “STATIC”.
Page 17
2.1.3 When selected “ACCESS POINT”, this Device acts as an Access Point which is allowed to be connected by PC /NB /Smart Phone/ PAD. It supports DHCP server function. Soft AP broadcasts its SSID “CVIoT_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX”. PC /NB /Smart Phone/PAD should connect to this SSID and then able to open web browser with default IP of this Device.

2.2 Ethernet configuration: click arrow of “Mode” to select “DHCP” or “STATIC”. “STATIC” needs a fixed IP input manually. 2.3 Gateway and DNS section: check with MIS for right IP address of Gateway. The Gateway must be set with correct IP enable to connect with Internet. 2.4 Up to now, Setup is successfully configured.
Serial Port page Please clearly set each parameters from Serial 1 to Serial 2 (default 9600,n,8,1). 3.1 Baud Rate: 300 bps to 921.6K bps 3.2 Parity: None, Even, Odd 3.3 Data Bits: 5, 6, 7, 8 3.4 Stop Bits: 1, 2 3.5 Flow Control: None, XON/XOFF 3.6 RxDelay(ms) 3.7 TxDelay(ms)
Aggregator page (Serial port over TCP/IP) This device is to be deemed as a slave to be inquired by Master and return data to Master. 4.1 Modbus/TCP section: 4.1.1 Listener Port: This device is set with a TCP/IP socket port 502. Serial port #1 to be ID 1, Serial port #2 to be ID 2.
