OVERVIEW STS COMMUNICATION Standard STS devices contains one RS232 communication port .Maximum communication distance of the RS232 system is 15 meters but the communication speed effects the cable length. The selected RS232 baud rate on STS units is 2400 baud. This baud rate makes possible to use 50 meters communication cable.

Page 5: Power Supply Connections Of Md-Net Adaptor
Power supply connections of MD-NET adaptor Before MD-NET installation ST232 board power supply connections • Disconnect the power connectors of the ST232 board (CN1 and CN2) • Connect the same cables to MD-NET adaptor CN1 and CN4 connectors and use new cable pair for CN1 and CN3 connectors to ST232 board After MD-NET installation power supply connections are modified as follows:...
Page 6: Sts-Net Adaptor Installation
STS-NET adaptor installation STS-NET adaptor space is reserved on front back panel of the STS. The adaptor place is closed with metal part , before installation this metal must be removed. a) Shutdown (power off) the STS unit for installation. b) Open front panel of the STS c) Cut metal holders to open place for STS-NET adaptor.
Page 7: Possible Tcp-Ip Connections
Currently adaptor is ready to use , see software section for setup. Possible TCP-IP connections a) Connecting STS-NET Ethernet port to network switch b) Connecting STS-NET to any PC Ethernet port directly Note : At direct PC connection the Ethernet connector pin configuration will be different refer to your network administrator.
Page 8: Tcp-Ip Network Setup Procedure
TCP-IP Network setup procedure Before using TCP-IP adaptor some network setup required: - Install the Lantronix software from the ML200 CD - Launch installation (Start-Programs-Lantronix Device Installer) This utility program will locate all networks attached to the STS-NET Ethernet port.
Page 9 In the ASSIGN IP window select the STATIC IP option from the configuration window and then click the NEXT button. Note: If the new IP address is different from 10.0.0.xxx or if the subnet mask code is different from 255.0.0.0 the device connection may fail. In this case adapt the PC network settings to these values.
Page 10 After adapting the IP address of the STS-NET Ethernet port, the newly assigned IP address will appear in the device installation window. In order to configure the device it is necessary to connect to the port via Internet Protocol. Click on WEB CONFIGURATION in the installation program of the device. Then click GO to visualise the WEB PAGE.
Page 11 To configure the Ethernet port from the menu on the left, click CONNECTION to visualise the configuration page. Connect Mode Accept Incoming Active Connect None Connect Response None Local port 10001 Remote port 10001 Click OK to update the settings.
Page 12: Sts Manager Software Tcp-Ip Setup
STS Manager software TCP-IP setup It is now possible to make the connection with the static switch via Ethernet. Launch the STS MANAGER program. In the SETTINGS window register the various IP addresses of the STSs to monitor, verify that the TCP/IP value is 10001 and then click SAVE to save the settings.
