SAFETY INFORMATION Save the carton and packing material even if the equipment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original factory packing. Read all documentation before operating your equipment. Retain all documentation for future reference. Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for proper operation.
INTRODUCTION We are providing new ways of connecting serial devices to Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). EP132 TCP/IP converter designed to operate serial ports over 10/100M Ethernet networks. The data transmitted via TCP/IP protocol. Therefore control is available via Ethernet, Intranet and Internet.
OVERVIEW EP132 TCP/IP converter designed to make your serial devices Internet ready instantly. 8051 Series of EP132 TCP/IP converter makes ideal choice for connecting your RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial devices—such as PLCs, meters and sensors—to IP-based Ethernet LAN, making possible for your software to access serial devices anywhere and anytime over local LAN or the Internet.
FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES • Data Conversion between RS-232/422/485 and Ethernet Convert serial device (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) data/signal into the TCP/IP packet data/signal and send them out with the Ethernet data stream or convert the TCP/IP packet data/signal into serial device data/signal. •...
The EP132 TCP/IP converter powered by single 9~12V DC(Inner positive/outer negative) power supply and 500mA of current. A suitable power supply adapter part of the packaging. Connect power line to power outlet at right side of EP132 TCP/IP converter and put the adapter into socket.

LED INDICATORS SYS “Red LED” : Power indicator (When power on, LED will fl ash each time in one second.) LAN “Green LED” : On-line indicated (When converter is link to LAN then LED will keep on.) 100M- Green LED / 10M- Red LED DATA “Red LED”...
CONVERTER CONFIGURATION INITIAL IP CONFIGURATION When setting up your converter for first time, the first thing you should do is configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings, see “Web Console Configuration”...

MENU “VIEW” View -> Refresh F5 Refresh the status. ETM will send another query to get updated information (see the Figure 3.2). Note: Always run the “View-> Refresh” after any data change. (Figure 3.2) View -> Exit Alt+F4 Exit from the program (see Figure 3.2). MENU “CONFIG”...

Press ENTER or select [IP Address] in the [Config] menu, dialog will be shown (see Figure 3.4). Note: Because ETM uses broadcast UDP packets, for sake of security, it allows confi guration only when device’s setup password is empty. (Figure 3.4) Assign IP Address with the same Subnet Mask of your computer, avoiding any IP confl...
CONTROLLER STATUS Setup the EP132 TCP/IP converter as easy as surfi ng on WWW, no special software will be required. Popular Browsers, such as IE or Netscape, can easily do the setup process. In the browser URL fi eld, set the IP address of device directly, to enter the “Controller Status”...
IP ADDRESS The IP address of EP132 TCP/IP converter, 4 digits by separated do not let confl ict with other devices on the network. If DHCP client mode enabled and there’s DHCP server on the network, this fi eld will be assigned by DHCP server automatically.
Page 14
GATEWAY ADDRESS Gateway or Router IP address. ‘Gateway’ is device which connects local network to external network. If you need to communicate with other networks or your device owns a real IP address on the internet, please inquire of their information and type it correctly. If there’s no gateway on the network, just leave it as “0.0.0.0”.

User assigned ID number for the converter. Available ID is “0 ~ 65535”. SOCKET PORT OF SERIAL I/O In TCP mode, if this parameter enabled, every time when the socket connected, EP132 TCP/IP converter will immediately report its device ID in the following formats:...
CONTROLLER UPDATED Press “Update” Button After you fi nish the detailed parameter setting. The converter will save all parameters into internal non-volatile memory and then reboot (see Figure 3.8). It takes about 5 seconds to complete the whole process and a new login page will be presented (see Figure 3.1).
SELF-TESTING After completing the wiring and parameter setting, we should verify if setting correct or not. This chapter will introduce how to use a single computer to test if the converter behaves well. The operating system can be Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000. The “Hyper Terminal” utility should be installed on your PC (see Figure 4.1).

(Figure 4.2) Select “TCP/IP (Winsock)” option at “Connect using:” fi eld (see Figure 4.3) (Figure 4.3) After “OK” button pressed, Figure 4.4 appears. Enter the converter’s IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.10) at “Host address:” fi eld and Socket port number set for Serial Port 1 at “Port number:” fi eld (e.g. 4660). (The Socket type of the Serial Port 1 should be “TCP Server”.)

(Figure 4.4) After pressed “OK” button, Figure 4.5 appears. If Hyper Terminal connects with converter successfully, the time clock at “left lower” corner “connect of hh:mm:ss” will start counting. (Figure 4.5)

HYPER TERMINAL FOR COM PORT Initiate another Hyper Terminal as COM Port Terminal (in Figure 4.3, select COM 1 or other COM port instead of “TCP/IP (Winsock)”). To set the COM port Properties will be as same as Serial Port of converter. (Figure 4.3) DATA TRANSMISSION When all steps described above are fi...
