  • Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction And Quick Start

    Chapter Introduction and Quick Start Introduction The VersaMax IC200SET001 Serial to Ethernet Adapter (VMSE) brings network connectivity to factory floors. It is designed to connect industrial devices with serial interfaces to an Ethernet network using the TCP protocol family (TCP for transparent stream- and UDP for datagram applications).

  • Page 10: Vmse Firmware Options

    The IC200SET001 VMSE has multiple firmware choices. All of the choices are shipped on the CD that is shipped with the VMSE unit. Upgrades and new firmware choices will be placed on the GE’s Automation & Controls WEB site, as they become available.

  • Page 11: Quick Start

    Introduction and Quick Start Quick Start The easiest way to configure the IC200SET001 VMSE is over Ethernet. The steps in the following procedure need to be done in the order listed to configure the VMSE. Preliminary Step Connect the VSME to the Ethernet network. Default IP Address The VMSE is shipped with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables the DHCP within the VMSE.
  • Page 12 A. Type ping (any valid IP address on your network) at the MS-DOS prompt, and then press the Enter key. (This step is required to “establish” the ARP table by creating an entry in the table.) The address pinged should reply as shown in the example in the next figure.
  • Page 13 Introduction and Quick Start If the response is “No arp entries found,” repeat steps A. and B. to ping other devices until the arp -a command lists one or more devices. Note that dynamic ARP table entries such as the one created above will be removed from the arp table automatically after several minutes, so if you do not complete this procedure and have to come back to it at a later time, you may have to start from the beginning.
  • Page 14 F. At the MS-DOS prompt, type Telnet (IP Address) 9999 (don’t forget the space between the IP address and 9999), and then press the Enter key This example uses: telnet 3.16.27.44 9999 The following figure shows the screen before the Enter button is pressed: Figure 1-5.
  • Page 15 Introduction and Quick Start G. After the Enter button is pressed in the previous step, the Telnet window opens with the VMSE Serial number, shown in the next figure. Confirm the Telnet connection by pressing the Enter key within 3 seconds. It you don’t respond by pressing the Enter key within 3 seconds, the telnet connection will time out and you will have to close the telnet window and repeat the previous step.
  • Page 16 Once you press the Enter key, the following VMSE Configuration screen will appear: Figure 1-7. The VMSE Configuration Screen H. Type s to save the IP address in the VMSE. (It is not necessary to press the Enter key.) The “Connection to host lost” Telnet dialog box will appear (this is normal) shown in the next figure: Figure 1-8.
  • Page 17 Introduction and Quick Start Reconnect by typing telnet 191.12.3.77 9999 at the MS-DOS prompt, and then pressing the Enter key. This will take you to the VMSE Configuration screen, shown in Figure 1-7. K. Use this screen to configure the VMSE. An example is provided in the following “Configuration”...

  • Page 18: Configuration

    Configuration This section is just an overview. See Chapter 4 for configuration details. Before proceeding with the configuration procedure, ensure that you have the correct firmware loaded in the VMSE. The VMSE comes equipped with SNP/SRTP by default. If you are using a different protocol, you must load the correct firmware for that protocol.

  • Page 19: Configuration Example

    Introduction and Quick Start Configuration Example The following figure shows the results of pressing the 2 key to select the “CH1 Serial and Protocol Settings” parameter group. Notice that the first parameter in the group (“Protocol Mode”) is displayed. The current value is shown in parentheses (001 in this example) before the prompt.

Continuing Configuration of the “CH1 Serial & Protocol Settings” Once you finish configuring all of the parameters in the selected group (“CH1 Serial &...

  • Page 21: Chapter 2 Vmse Interfaces

    VMSE Interfaces Chapter Serial Interface The VMSE has RJ45 and screw block serial ports. The RJ45 port only supports RS232, whereas the screw block port supports RS232 and RS485/422. By setting the switch located on the face of the VMSE and configuring the VMSE setup, RS232 or RS485/422 can be selected.

  • Page 22: Network Interface

    Network Interface The VMSE supports 10 Mbit Ethernet through its RJ45 (10BaseT) connector. Hardware Address (MAC Address) The first three bytes are fixed, and read 00-20-4A. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique for each VMSE and are used to generate the serial number. The address is in Hex notation.

  • Page 23: Chapter 3 Network Protocols

    Network Protocols Chapter The VMSE product uses TCP/IP protocols for network communication. The supported standards are: ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, DHCP, and SNMP. For transparent connections, TCP/IP (binary stream) or Telnet protocols are used. Firmware upgrades can be made with the TFTP protocol. The IP protocol defines addressing, routing and data block handling over the network.

  • Page 24: Port Number

    Port Number Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram are defined by a destination IP address and a port number. An IP address is necessary to address a device (host) on the network. A port number is necessary to address an application or a channel on a network host.

  • Page 25: Chapter 4 Configuration

    Configuration Chapter The VMSE can be configured using remote or local methods. Either use an ASCII terminal or a terminal emulation program to locally access the serial port, or use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network. The VMSE configuration is stored in nonvolatile flash memory and is retained without power.

  • Page 26: Entering Serial Configuration Mode

    Entering Serial Configuration Mode An ASCII terminal or a PC with a terminal emulation program can be connected to the serial port on the VMSE. The terminal (or PC) should be configured for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. To enter configuration mode, input power to the VMSE must be cycled (powered off and back on).

  • Page 27: Assigning A New Ip Address

    Configuration NOTE: Using the ARP command (see below) you can always override the IP address given to the VMSE by your DHCP server. If DHCP is enabled on the VMSE, but there is no DHCP server on the network, the VMSE's request will eventually time out and the unit will boot up with no IP address.

  • Page 28: Unix

    Unix Unix arp details when the hardware address of the VMSE is 00-20-4A-01- 64-0B. The command example for most Unix systems is: arp -s 191.12.3.77 00:20:4A:01:64:0B Configuration Parameters After configuration mode is entered (confirm with <ENTER>), the parameters can be changed; default values can be confirmed with the ENTER key.

  • Page 39: Modem Emulation Mode

    Configuration Modem Emulation Mode In modem emulation mode, the VMSE presents a modem interface to the attached serial device by accepting AT-style modem commands and “wiggles” the modem signals correctly. Normally there is a modem connected to a PC and a modem connected to some other remote machine. A user must dial from his/her PC to the remote machine and accumulate phone charges for each connection.

  • Page 76: Appendix A Ip Addresses

    IP Addresses Appendix IP Addressing An IP address is a 32-bit value, divided into four octets of eight bits each. The standard representation is four decimal numbers (in the range of 0..255), divided by dots. Example: 192.2.1.123 This is called dotted-decimal notation. The IP address is divided in two parts: network and host.

  • Page 77: Class C Network

    Class C Network IP address 192.0.0.xxx to 223.255.255.xxx These network addresses are most common and are often used in small companies. These networks can consist of a maximum number of 254 hosts. Example: 192.7.1.9 (network 192.7.1, host 9) The remaining addresses 224.x.x.x - 239.x.x.x are defined as ”class D” and are used as a multicast addresses.

  • Page 78: Ip Netmask

    IP Addresses IP Netmask The netmask is used to divide the IP address differently from the standard defined by the classes A, B, C. A netmask defines how many bits from the IP address are to be taken as the network section and how many bits are to be taken as the host section. When the number of host bits is entered, the VMSE calculates the netmask.
