  • Page 4: Overview

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 1  Overview The Microtronix Access Serial/TCP Converter provides conversion between asynchronous interfaces over TCP/IP sockets, and synchronous interfaces over TCP/IP or UDP/IP sockets. A web interface allows for configuration and monitoring from any Internet browser, and telnet/SSH servers allow for connecting to the command line interface for additional management.
  • Page 5: Wan Interface

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter                                                                      Model 4002     Model 4002­N40­RM The model name and serial number are printed on the label located on the bottom of the unit. The following sections describe the each attributes and function of each interface type. 1.2  WAN interface WAN interfaces support RS232/V.24 with speeds up to 128 Kbps, and V.35, X.21, RS530, RS449/V.36 interface types with speeds up to 10 Mbps, in a standard DB25F DCE connector.

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3  Quick Start Guide Configuration of the Access will require a PC or laptop with any standard Internet browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Optionally, a serial COM port (or USB serial adapter) on the PC with a terminal emulator application may be used to connect to the Console/WAN interface.

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.2.3  Emergency IP Address Recovery The u-boot console may be used to recover a forgotten IP address. While in the U-Boot console, the default IP address and other parameters may be displayed: print ipaddr print netmask print gatewayip If the default values are not in current effect, they may override the system-defined values temporarily by setting new default values (if desired) and entering the U-Boot commands: set ipaddr 10.1.1.240 set netmask 255.255.255.0...
  • Page 9: Configuration Web Interface

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.3  Configuration Web Interface  The default IP address of the Access is 10.1.1.240. The PC used to access the web interface must be configured (temporarily) for an address in the same subnet, for example, 10.1.1.200. Connect the PC to the same LAN, or connect directly to the Access. Open the web browser on the PC, and enter in the URL field.
  • Page 10: Ip Network Configuration

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.4  IP Network Configuration To create or modify the IP network parameters different than the default values defined in U-Boot , obtain the new IP address, network mask, and default gateway values. Follow this procedure only if you don't want the default values to be used in the running system. From the main menu System Configuration section, select Network to display the configuration form.
  • Page 11: Verifying Ip Network

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.4.1  Verifying IP Network Use ping from another station on the IP network to verify the Access is reachable. Sometimes ARP cache tables are obsolete and need refreshing after an IP change. The LAN led on the front panel or rear RJ45 connector led will blink when there is activity on the Ethernet port.
  • Page 12: Synchronous Server Configuration

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.5 Synchronous Server Configuration WAN interfaces may be configured for raw synchronous HDLC operation by configuring it as a Synchronous Server. Ensure that the Terminal server or X.25 Gateway operation is disabled for the selected port by de-selecting the Enabled button on the Serial-TCP or HDLC Physical Layer page. To configure a port for synchronous service, select HDLC -TCP/UDP from the main menu Synchronous Server section to display the configuration form.
  • Page 13: Network Settings

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 4) Click the Enabled checkbox. 3.5.2  Network Settings 5) Select the Encapsulation method from the drop-down list. RAW does not preserve frame boundaries across a TCP/IP interface. MBIT and RFC1006 will preserve frame boundaries when transmitting over a TCP/IP interface. 6) Select the protocol, TCP or UDP, to create an IP socket.
  • Page 14: Terminal Server Configuration

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3.6 Terminal Server Configuration The WAN interface and USB serial ports may be configured for asynchronous serial operation by configuring them as a terminal server interface. Ensure that Synchronous Server or X.25 Gateway operation is disabled for the selected interface by de-selecting the Enabled button on the HDLC-TCP or HDLC Physical Layer page.
  • Page 15: Conversion Settings

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 3) If the device asserts a DTR or CD signal, select DTR/CD detection. This also controls TCP connectivity. 4) Click the Enabled checkbox. 3.6.2  Conversion Settings 5) Select the mode of operation from the drop-down list. RAW treats data as a byte stream. LINE does special line handling for data from TCP to the serial interface.
  • Page 16: Cables

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 4  Cables 4.1  Synchronous Cables – WAN interface When configured for sync, the DB25F WAN ports have an RS530 DCE pin configuration (compatible with ISO 2110). RS232 is a subset of RS530, so a WAN port has a standard RS232 pin assignment when configured for RS232 (V.24).
  • Page 17: Async Cables - Wan Interface

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 4.2  Async Cables – WAN interface When configured for asynchronous serial, the DB25F WAN interface has a standard RS232 DCE pin configuration. 4.2.1  Connecting to a DCE device Standard null modem cables are used when connecting to a serial DCE device (like a modem) that has a DB25 or DB9 female connector.
  • Page 18: Async Cables - Serial Usb Ports

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 4.3  Async Cables – Serial USB ports When a USB serial adapter is connected, the connector has a standard DB9M RS232 DTE pin configuration. 4.3.1  Connecting to a DTE device Standard null modem cables are used when connecting to a serial DTE device (like a PC COM port) that has a DB25 or DB9 male connector.
  • Page 19: Encapsulation Message Formats

    Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter 5  Encapsulation Message Formats The following are the formats of the messages used to encapsulate frame data over TCP connections. The TCP/IP host is expected to implement one of these methods if message preservation is required. Count (length) fields are in network byte order (big endian) with most significant byte first, least significant byte last.
