Summary of Contents for Brodersen UCM-97
- Page 1 TCP/IP. In addition, you have the option to access any device with a serial interface via LAN, WAN, Intranet and Internet. Your device does not have to support TCP/IP or PPP to work with the UCM-97. We provide tunnel facilities to pass any proprietary or open serial protocols to anywhere on your network.
- Page 2 It will be an advantage to have a basic knowledge of TCP/IP and Ethernet networking before you start using the UCM-97. The UCM-97 is assigned an IP address and this can be found on the back of the module. You will also find the unique MAC address of the unit.
- Page 3 Connect via an existing network Before you connect the UCM-97 to an existing network you most be sure that your network is in the same IP subnet range as the UCM-97 (192.168.100.x). As this is most often not the case we recommend that you use the method mentioned above.
- Page 4 Hardware Every time UCM-97 connects to a GPRS network it will receive an IP address from the provider. You can configure the module to send a SMS message informing about the provided IP address. In the Alert field you type in the phone number.
- Page 5 After applying the new settings, press the "save" button again. Now the necessary GPRS settings are entered and you must reboot the UCM-97. Press the "reboot" button at the bottom of this Web page, and the UCM-97 will reboot and the new settings will be used.
- Page 6 Figure 3 If the GPRS connection is successful, the trace should be as shown above. Note the PPP: interface_up IP address is also the address of the IP address for the GPRS network Brodersen Controls A/S Betonvej 10 DK-4000 Roskilde...
- Page 7 The "auto connect" field is only used if you are going to connect 2 UCM-97 point-to-point for transparent serial communication. In the "auto connect" field you must enter the IP address of the other UCM-97 in the network at both ends.
- Page 8 Setting up UCM-97 as Router If you want to establish a network of clients on the Ethernet side of the UCM-97 and use UCM-97 as router you must enable the “NAT” (Network Address Translation) functionality in the “Change Network Settings” menu (Figure 1).
- Page 9 Assigning an IP address to the UCM-97 module using AutoIP: NOTE: If you a connected to the UCM-97 using an existing network be sure there is no Ethernet Switch between your PC and the UCM-97 module. An Ethernet Hub is OK.
