  • Page 17: Oem Interface

    OEM Interface The OEM interface is a 40-pin header that is used to connect the SX-550 module to the SX-550-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard. It will also serve as the primary means of communications between the SX-550 and your OEM device (refer to Chapter 5 for information on using this header to connect with your device).

    IMPORTANT: This chapter assumes that you are either using the SX-550-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard or that you have made the appropriate connections to the SX-550 module OEM Header. Refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 for information on connecting to the SX-550 hardware.

  • Page 28: Configuration Methods

    These web pages provide an easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the SX-550. In order to use the internal web pages for the first time, you must assign the SX-550 IP address using some other method (for example, DHCP or arp/ping). This initial IP address assignment need only be done one time.

  • Page 29: Using The Extendview Utility To Configure The Sx-550 (Ethernet Connection)

    Connection) NOTE: Skip this section if you do not have a Windows PC or if you do not have an Ethernet connection to the SX-550. The ExtendView Utilty is the easiest way to initially configure the SX-550 from a Windows PC because it allows you to directly set the IP address into an unconfigured SX-550, and it allows you to view the IP addresses of all of the SX-550s on your network.
  • Page 30 Chapter 6 for information). This advanced configuration can be done at a later time, however. NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the SX-550 should have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. However, for some installations, a static IP address is preferred.
  • Page 31 To operate on an 802.11a/b/g network, the SX-550 configuration must be configured with the wireless configuration and security parameters necessary for the SX-550 to communicate over your wireless network (check with your network administrator if you do not know these parameters).

  • Page 32: First-Time Ip Address Configuration

    NOTE: Skip this section if you have already configured the SX-550 IP address with ExtendView If you are configuring the SX-550 from a non-Windows computer or if you cannot use an Ethernet connection, you must first configure the SX-550 IP address. Note that it is only necessary to perform this Part Number 40183-101...
  • Page 33 Write down this address for future reference. You are now ready to configure the SX-550 (skip the remainder of this section). If you can connect the SX-550 via Ethernet but do not have a DHCP server, then you must use the following procedure for the first-time IP configuration of the SX-550.
  • Page 34 If you can connect to an ASCII terminal (such as a PC running the HyperTerminal Accessory program) to serial port 2 on the SX-550, you can configure an IP address using the internal command console. To do this, set the terminal to 115.2Kbps, 8-bit characters, no parity, and no flow control.

  • Page 35: Using A Web Browser To Configure The Sx-550

    Using a Web Browser to Configure the SX-550 You may skip this section if you have completely configured the SX-550 using ExtendView. However, if you have advanced configuration requirements, such as 802.1X EAP configuration, then you may need to use the internal web pages as described in this section because ExtendView does not support these capabilities.
  • Page 36 However, for some installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your DHCP server does not allow the SX-550 to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP server documentation for details).

  • Page 37: Using The Internal Command Console To Configure The Sx-550

    Using the Internal Command Console to Configure the SX-550 You may skip this section if you have completely configured the SX-550 using ExtendView or the SX-550 Internal Web Pages. However, if you are using the bridge mode, you MUST use the Internal Command Console (see Chapter 4 for information on configuring bridge mode.

When you see the Local> prompt, you can enter commands. The SX-550 is set by default to use DHCP to obtain the IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, enter the following commands: SET IP ADDRESS aa.bb.cc.dd...

  • Page 41: Using The Sx-550 With Your Application

    Chapter 4 Using the SX-550 with Your Application The SX-550 includes a number of capabilities that enable it to be used in a wide range of applications. These capabilities include: 1. User interface customization 2. Power configuration 3. Serial Port Emulator (SPE) software 4.

  • Page 42: Customizing The Sx-550 User Interface

    COM port that functions exactly like the Windows COM1 and COM2 serial ports, except that the I/ O actually goes out over the Ethernet or WLAN to the SX-550 and to the serial device that is connected to the SX-550. As a result, any application program that uses a standard Windows COM port can also use the Serial Port Emulator.

  • Page 43: Raw Tcp Connection

    You can communicate directly from your application program to the SX-550 using a raw TCP connection. This is done by opening a TCP port on the SX-550 and then sending and receiving data to this port via a socket or equivalent API. This method is more efficient than using the Serial Port Emulator, and does not require any additional software to be installed on your computer.

  • Page 44: Rfc 2217 Support

    RFC 2217 allows you to connect from a host computer over the wireless or Ethernet network to a serial device attached to the serial port of the SX-550, even if the baud rate of that device does not match the baud rate of the host computer’s software.
  • Page 45 Changing this interval will reduce or increase the amount of network traffic. 5. It is also possible to use UDP instead of TCP for communicating to and from the SX-550. If you wish to use UDP, then: a.

  • Page 46: Print Server Mode

    The SX-550 supports FTP binary or ASCII communications. This can be used, for example, to send the contents of a file from a PC to a device connected to the SX-550 using the FTP protocol. To use FTP, simply enter the standard FTP command from your PC with the IP address of the SX-550 (for example, 192.168.5.50).

  • Page 47: At Commands

    SNMP Traps, Email Alerts, and GPIO Status The SX-550 allows the user to define various alert conditions based on the state of the GPIOs or on data received by the serial port. For example, you could cause an alert to occur if the signal on GPIO 3 goes low, or if a certain user-defined string of characters is received on the serial port.

  • Page 48: Bridge Mode

    Bridge Mode The SX-550 can work as a transparent bridge from Ethernet to 802.11a/b/g. This is useful for allowing a device that have an Ethernet interface to be used on a wireless network. Operation is totally transparent, so there is no modification required to the device’s software or firmware.

  • Page 49: Interfacing The Sx-550 To The Oem Device

    Interfacing the SX-550 to the OEM Device In order to connect the SX-550 module to your device, you will need to provide either a custom daughtercard or a special cable. Both of these solutions will require a 40-pin female connector on one side, with the appropriate connector(s) for connecting to your device’s circuitry on the other side.
