Page 13: General Description
The Serial-to-Ethernet Converter (SEC) provides Ethernet network connectivity to Microlok II units. The SEC converts the Microlok II Peer messages from the Microlok II serial ports to Ethernet data which is then available to other devices across an Ethernet network. The SEC thus enables the routing of Microlok II Peer messages using the TCP and UDP network protocols. -

This parameter is listed as BIT_RATE=38400 in the factory file. It sets the bit rate that the SEC uses to communicate with the Microlok II unit. The available options for bit rate are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400. In the absence of a value for this parameter in the configuration file, the Bit Rate will default to a value of 9600. -
Page 44: Netmask
In the factory file the Broadcast parameter is set to 1. the options for this parameter are 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). When a Microlok II Peer message is received from the COM port, the destination address in the message is compared to two internal tables. If the address is found in the tables, the message is directed to the appropriate Microlok II unit independent of the Broadcast setting. -
Page 45: Port
In the factory file the Port parameter is set to 60000. This identifies the UDP port on which the SEC will receive network Microlok II Peer messages. This is also the port used when a Broadcast message is sent (if the Broadcast parameter is enabled). This parameter is specified by network personnel. -
