  • Page 4: Introduction

    EX-9132C-2 is a full set converter device with two serial ports as one is a RS-232 port and another is a RS-232/422/485 (Auto-Detect) and it provides one socket per connection port.

  • Page 5: Overview

    Series converters ensure the compatibility of network software that ARM Cortex-M3 CPU uses a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP Server Mode, TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. Model EX-9132C-2 provides 1 socket connection for remote management. Series’ Virtual COM driver and software that ARM Cortex-M3 CPU works with COM port can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no time.

    Block Diagram Low-cost devices usually are equipped with low speed processors and limited memories. In reality, they have neither the capability nor practicality to manage complicated network TCP/IP protocols. The ARM Cortex™-M3 32-bit processor has been specifically developed to provide a high-performance, low-cost platform for a broad range of applications including microcontrollers, automotive body systems, and industrial control systems, networking by converting data stream between network TCP/IP and popular serial port signals.
  • Page 7 The central core of ARM Cortex-M3 processor, based on a 3-stage pipeline Harvard bus architecture, incorporates advanced features including single cycle multiply and hardware divide to deliver an outstanding efficiency of 1.25 DMIPS/MHz. The ARM Cortex-M3 processor also implements the new Thumb®-2 instruction set architecture, which combined with features such as unaligned data storage and atomic bit manipulation delivers 32-bit performance at a cost equivalent to modern 8- and 16-bit devices.

  • Page 16 When you finish the steps mentioned above and the LED indicators are as shown in above diagram, the converter is installed correctly. You can use the Setup Tool “EXBrowser.exe” to setup the IP Address. To proceed the advanced parameter setup, please use a web browser (IE or Netscape) to continue the detailed settings.

  • Page 17: Initial Ip Configuration

    EX-9132C-2 Converter Configuration Initial IP Configuration When sett up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings, please see the Network Settings section in Chapter3, “Web Console Configuration”.
  • Page 18 When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters and depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address, and Device ID (see Figure 3.1). The Setup Tool only can setup one converter at a time. Thus if there are more than one converter on the network, please shut down or disconnect other converters.
  • Page 19 EXBrowser “View” □ □ View -> Refresh □ There are two ways for refreshing the status of existing devices. You may select the item “View” to refresh the status of existing devices on LAN. Another is to click the icon as red color remark as below. EXBrowser will send another query to get updated information.
  • Page 20 (Figure 3.4) Assign an IP Address with the same Subnet Mask of your computer, avoiding any IP conflict with other network devices. When you press “Confirm” button, the IP address will be refreshed in 2~3 seconds. (Figure 3.5) After click “Confirm” button and then “Input Password” request will be pop-up on screen (see Figure 3.5).
  • Page 21 EXBrowser “Modify MAC” □ □ Modify MAC -> Dialog Frame □ To click the device on the existing devices list in the EXBrowser table and then the function bar will be enabled. To press Third icon of “Modify MAC” on function bar and a dialog frame table will be shown (see Figure 3.7).

Factory default is “empty”. However, it is not recommended to leave it empty in field operation. If you could not login, it means you have to key in the password.
  • Page 25 Parameter Setting Page □ □ The Parameter Setting Page □ Type the correct password in the “Password” field and click the “Confirm” button in the “Login Setting” page, then the “Parameter Setting” page will be shown (see Figure 3.10). Note: If you forget the password or can’t login successfully, please contact the manufacturer directly.

If DHCP client mode is enabled and there's a DHCP server on the network, this field will be assigned by DHCP server automatically.
  • Page 27 □ □ Device ID Report □ You may “Enable” or “Disable” to collect the device ID report and assigne ID number for the converter devices. Available ID is “0 ~ 65535”. In TCP mode, if this parameter is enabled, every time when the socket is connected, e-Net TCP/IP converter will immediately report its device ID in the following formats: Serial #1...
  • Page 28 The server IP address and socket port would be connected in TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP Client mode for a certain serial port. □ □ Remote socket port □ The server socket port would be connected in TCP Client and UDP Client mode for a certain serial port.
  • Page 29 A socket port is assigned for the serial port. It’s a 16-bit numbers, ranging from 1 to 65535. Because the numbers below 1000 are used for specific purposes (e.g. 80 is for HTTP protocol), we suggest you use the numbers larger than 1000. Generally the port number 4660 is used for the serial communication.

  • Page 31: Controller Updated

    Controller Updated Press “Update”] Button after finish the detailed parameter setting. The converter will save all parameters into internal non-volatile memory and then reboot (see Figure 5.3). It takes about 5 seconds to complete the whole process, and a new login page will be presented (see Figure 5.1).

  • Page 32: Factory Default Setting

    Factory Default Setting If you forget the setup password or have incorrect settings making the converter inoperable, there are two ways to reset the setting and the following procedures can be used to reset all settings to factory default: 1. Please turn on the power and then use any point tip to push “Reset” button for 5 seconds.

  • Page 33: Setting Verification

    Setting Verification After complete the wiring and parameter setting, we should verify if the setting is correct. 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, Vista, 7. The “Hyper Terminal”...
  • Page 34 Hyper Terminal for TCP/IP WinSock Initiate a Hyper Terminal from the Start Menu in Windows (see Figure 6.1), give a terminal name, choose an icon, and press “OK” button (see Figure 6.2). (Figure 6.1)
  • Page 35 (Figure 6.2) Select “TCP/IP (Winsock)” option at the “Connect using:” field (see Figure 6.3).
  • Page 36 (Figure 6.3) After “OK” button is pressed, Figure 6.4 appears. Enter the converter’s IP address (e.g. 192.168.123.10) at the “Host address:” field, and the Socket port number set for the Serial Port 1 at the “Port number:” field (e.g 4660). (The Socket type of the Serial Port 1 should be “TCP Server”.)
  • Page 37 (Figure 6.4) After “OK” button is pressed, Figure 6.5 appears. If the Hyper Terminal connects with the converter successfully, the time clock at the left lower corner “Connected hh:mm:ss” will start counting.
