Introduction STE211 Serial to Ethernet Interface Converter provides the ways of connecting serial devices to Ethernet. It is designed to operate serial ports through Ethernet (10/100Mbps) over TCP/IP network. As the data is transmitted via TCP/IP protocol, therefore data acquisition and controlling are available to go through Intranet and Internet.
Sensors to an IP-based Ethernet host, and makes it possible to access Serial interface devices anywhere and anytime via your software. STE211 provides TCP Server Mode, TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode for selection. It also supports manual configuration via web browser and support various protocols including HTTP, DHCP, ICMP, and ARP.

Simply connect it to your network switch or Hub. When the connection is made, the green color LED of Ethernet port will blink.
DC Power outlet Reset Button (1) Press reset key after 5 seconds until SYS LED flash then release the key will reset network default IP and gateway IP back to default. The other parameters keep same as last confirmation. (2) Press reset key after 5 seconds until both SYS LED and WiFi LED flash then release the key will make all parameters back to factory default.
LED Indicators SYS (Green): Power indicator. When the power is on, the LED will be lit and blink per second. WiFi (Red): (WiFi is only for WiFi models.) WiFi indicator. When the WiFi is working, this LED blinks. Tx (Green): Data sending indicator.
Wiring Architecture 1. RS-232 2. RS-422/RS-485 When you complete the steps mentioned above, the LED indicators will be lit. This means that the converter is connected and installed correctly. To proceed with the parameters setup, please use a web browser (IE or Chrome) to configure the detailed settings.
Configuration When setting up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure the IP address. You can use IP Device Search tool to find the IP or simply use the default IP to login to the device. The following topics are covered in this chapter: ...

2. Gateway and DNS: To check with MIS for right IP address. 3. TCP Keep Alive: Set up TCP keepalive time, interval and probes. 4. Up to now, Setup is successfully configured. Please click “Save” for this page temporarily and go to other pages for configuration or click “Save and Restart” to run this Device with new settings.
Serial Port Setup Please correctly input each parameter to match with the remote terminal unit. Baud Rate: 300 bps to 921.6K bps Parity: None, Even, Odd Data Bits: 5, 6, 7, 8 Stop Bits: 1, 2 Flow Control: None, XON/XOFF RxDelay(ms) TxDelay(ms) Up to now, Setup is successfully configured.
Over TCP/IP Setup 1. There are 3 TCP modes available for selection: TCP Server/ TCP Client/ UDP. 2. TCP Server: Configure TCP server port number and message time out period. At this mode, this device will wait for client connection.
