(middle). 2.3 Serial Connection The SSE232-IA supplies up to four serial ports, depending on the model, that are identified as COM A, COM B, COM C and COM D. According to the model, serial ports may only be RS-232, RS-485 or configurable by software RS- 232/485/422, as shown below.
232 Connection 232 Connection 232 Connection COM A is always found in all SSE232-IA models. A cable can be used to connect RS-232 serial ports to a PC serial port, as can be observed in figure 6. SSE232-IA DB9 Hembra...
Connection through a Hub or Switch Connection through a Hub or Switch A UTP network cable must be used to connect SSE232-IA to the Ethernet through a Hub or Switch. Figure 8 shows how the UTP cable is wired when using a Hub or Switch.
Chapter Configuration and Operation 3.1 Getting Started The first step consists in obtaining an IP address for the SSE232-IA by any of the following methods: Using the Device Locator application program (recommended method). Forcing an IP address entry to the ARP table.
Access to configuration Web page. Access to configuration Web page. Once an SSE232-IA has a valid IP address you may access its web page to configure the other parameters. You must use a web browser that allows the use of JavaScript.
The SSE232-IA will ask for a password. Type “admin” as user name and the password to enter. 3. You will see the SSE232-IA web page. On the left frame you will find the menu, and on the right frame you will find the configuration page.
Introduction Introduction The SSE232-IA maps each COM (A, B, C or D) to a communication socket. Thus, once socket connection is established, information will be transparently transferred from the corresponding COM to the socket and vice versa, as depicted in Figure 10.
Page 17
1002 and 1003 are mapped to COM A, B, C and D respectively, but this may be changed for each COM. As it can be observed in Figure 10, the SSE232-IA has also 3 fixed TCP ports: Supervision and Control (Port 999), Configuration Command Console (Port 998) and HTTP Server (Port 80).
Configuration Password Both the TCP configuration console and the web page are protected by a password. The device administrator may assign access key for these resources, thus supplying safe access to SSE232-IA configuration. To change the password through the Web page: Select “Advanced”...

Enabling and Disabling Web Configuration Enabling and Disabling Web Configuration The administrator may enable or disable SSE232-IA Web page configuration. Once disabled, the administrator will only be able to access the configuration remotely through the TCP command console or, locally, by the serial command console. In both cases, the administrator will be able to re-enable Web configuration.
IA Reset IA Reset IA Reset If necessary, the SSE232-IA may be reset. If the SSE232-IA is reset, all connections are closed and SSE232-IA returns to its initial status. To reset SSE232-IA through the Web page: Select “Advanced” from the menu, you will see the Advanced Configuration page.

RS-422. Please note that the physical location of COM A depends on which protocol you use. Refer to “Installation” for further details. Time Window Time Window: Once the first byte of data is received in a COM, the SSE232-IA will wait for Time Window Time Window this specified period of time before sending a packet over the Ethernet network through the corresponding socket.
That is, the SSE232-IA will abort the previous connection, allowing the new client to connect. If the automatic reset is not enabled for that server channel, the SSE232-IA will deny the newer connection. Note that in this case, the server may still use the inactivity timeout feature.
SSE232-IA User’s Manual Exemys You may configure the Automatic Reset Option through the SSE232-IA Web Page: Select “Network” from the menu. You will see the Network configuration page. Select the Automatic Reset Enabling from the combo box. Click on the “Send” button, so the SSE232-IA may take the changes.
SSE232-IA User’s Manual Exemys You may use the configuration command console to change these parameters. When executing commands that allow you to change any channel parameters, you must indicate the COM associated with a given connection.

SSE232 1XXX 1XXX In one-channel SSE232-IA models, it is possible to accept up to 8 clients simultaneously. SSE232- 1XXX-IA maintains 8 server type connections on the same channel and transmits information received by every communication link to the serial port www.exemys.com...
Supervision and Control Port. Supervision and Control Port. The SSE232-IA allows to control digital inputs/outputs and to supervise the status of connection sockets linked to every channel by simple commands. The Supervision and Control Port works through a TCP connection in the port 999. Each command must end with the CR character (ASCII 13).
Page 27
The INA command shows the status of all available inputs in each SSE232-IA model. The IN command allows to know the status of one of the available inputs in each SSE232-IA model. If you request an unavailable input, the answer will be “error”.
Page 28
If the automatic digital input report option is enabled, SSE232-IA will inform the status of all the inputs when a client connects to the TCP Port 999 and every time a change in any of the available inputs is detected.
SSE232-IA User’s Manual Exemys If the Automatic Digital Inputs Report is enabled, the SSE232-IA will inform the status of the inputs through the message DIR in the Supervision and Control Port (TCP Port 999). The client of this connection will not have to execute any command for the SSE232-IA to send this message.
If the IP server address of that channel coincides with the broadcast address (IPSERV = 255.255.255.255), SSE232-IA will transmit serial data as a UDP broadcast. The serial will transmit whatever is received from the Ethernet side, no matter if data was delivered using the broadcast address or a specified IP address.
When two SSE232-IA connect through an UDP Transport Protocol, one of them in Client Mode and the other in Server Mode, the SSE232-IA device running in Server mode will not send any serial data to the Client’s IP unless the client has previously sent a packet to establish communication.

When the Device Locator is run for the first time it will search any Exemys device within the network. If there is an Exemys device in the network it will be shown in the Device Locator Grid: Device: Device name, such as SSE232-IA or KIBe.
