CSE-H55 User Manual Ver. 1.7 This symbol, found on your product or on its packaging, indicates that this product should not be treated as household waste when you wish to dispose of it. Instead, it should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
The serial communication is quite simple to implement but has weaknesses like short distance and hard maintenance. CSE-H55 lets the serial devices connect to the Internet. To communicate on the Internet, devices should use TCP/IP protocol, so CSE-H55 processes the converting serial data to TCP/IP.

1.7.1 ISP Switch There is a switch, which is named ISP switch (or button) located on the side of the product. You can change the operation mode of CSE-H55 to ISP or Serial Configuration mode with this switch. Figure 1-11 ISP switch - 13 - http://www.ezTCP.com...
Before testing CSE-H55, users should connect both serial and Ethernet port to a PC. To connect the RS232 port of your PC and CSE-H55 via serial, you need a RS232 to 422/485 converter. It will be no problem that the Ethernet connection includes network hubs.

3.1.2 Configuration via Serial Checklists To use serial configuration, COM port of PC should be connected with CSE-H55. Because CSE-H55 doesn’t have a RS232 port, a RS232 to RS-422/485 converter is needed. Of course, H55 should be in operation as [Serial Configuration Mode] and set to RS-422 (RS-485 is not available on this configuration).
Checklists Make sure the connection between your PC and CSE-H55 using RS232 cross cable. To use this, CSE-H55 has to be set to [AT command] mode as its communication mode. This can be configured by ezManager. Figure 3-5 setting the communication mode to the AT command ...
CSE-H55 User Manual Ver. 1.7 Operation Modes 4.1 What is the Operation Mode? Each of three operation mode of CSE-H55 is defined for specific purpose, and those are followed. Normal mode This mode is for normal data communication and has 4 different connection modes.

4.6.2 Revoking Serurity Options CSE-H55 offers restriction methods for security like filtering password or MAC and IP address. In the ISP mode, you can revoke all of these. When you forgot the password, enter the ISP mode to solve the problem.
In this mode, CSE-H55 functions as a TCP server. CSE-H55 listens to a TCP connection from remote host. Once a host tries to connect to CSE-H55, it responses that request. After the connection is established, CSE-H55 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data and sends them to the network and vice versa.
