  • Page 30: Communication Connections

    Communication Connections All models of MOXA EtherDevice Server have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface), and between six and eight 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have one or two 100BaseFX (SC-type connector) fiber ports. In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout Diagrams and Cable Wiring Diagrams—to convey information about the ports and the cables used to connect MOXA...
  • Page 31 Wiring MOXA EtherDevice Server RS-232 Connection MOXA EtherDevice Server has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable wiring diagrams below) to connect MOXA EtherDevice Server’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, to access MOXA EtherDevice Server’s console configuration utility.
  • Page 32 RJ45 (10-pin) to DB25 (F) Cable Wiring 10/100BaseTx Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseTX ports located on MOXA EtherDevice Server’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users will choose to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are automatically adjusted depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.

  • Page 38: Auto Mdi/Mdi-X Connection

    Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect MOXA EtherDevice Server’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without paying attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection. To understand the meaning of this statement, you simply need to remember that there are two types of Ethernet ports, and two types of Ethernet cables.

  • Page 39: Fiber Ports

    Hardware Overview Fiber Ports MOXA EtherDevice Server’s fiber switched ports operate at a fixed 100 Mbps speed and full-duplex mode to provide the best performance. The fiber ports are factory-built as either a multi-mode or single-mode SC connector. Consequently, you should use fiber cables that have SC connectors at both ends.

  • Page 40: Switching And Address Learning

    Switching and Address Learning MOXA EtherDevice Server has an address table that can hold up to 4K node addresses, which makes it suitable for use with large networks. The address tables are self-learning, so that as nodes are added or removed, or moved from one segment to another, MOXA EtherDevice Server automatically keeps up with new node locations.

  • Page 41: How To Use Moxa Etherdevice Server

    How To Use MOXA EtherDevice Server In this chapter, we give the reader some general tips about how to use MOXA EtherDevice Server. Some users will simply want to plug in the power, connect the switch to their Ethernet-enabled devices, and then go to work right away. Other users will want to utilize MOXA EtherDevice Server’s basic device management functions, whereas some will want...

  • Page 42: Basic Switching Function

    Basic Switching Function The most basic function of MOXA EtherDevice Server is as an Ethernet switch. To just make use of EDS’s fast Ethernet switching capability, we suggest using Model ED6008, which has 8 10/100BaseTX ports. In fact, after taking EDS out of the box, you can immediately attach it to a power source, plug Ethernet devices into the 10/100BaseTX ports, and then go to work.

  • Page 43: Redundant Ethernet Ring Quick Setup

    255.255.255.0 NOTE If you are connecting MOXA EtherDevice Server to a public network, but do not intend to use its management functions over the network, then we suggest disabling both Telnet Console and Web Configuration from the RS-232 Console’s Advanced Settings Server page.

  • Page 44: Basic Device Management

    Basic Device Management In addition to using MOXA EtherDevice Server’s fast Ethernet switching ability, as described in the previous section, some users will also want to take advantage of some of EDS’s basic management and monitoring functions. EDS functions that can be accessed over the LAN, after setting up EDS’s IP address, or that can be accessed via EDS’s...

  • Page 45: Advanced Device Management

    Another point to consider is whether or not EDS is connected to a DHCP network. In the next section, we explain how to configure your DHCP host to reserve a specific IP address for MOXA EtherDevice Server. By reserving a specific IP address, you will always be able to locate EDS by Telnet or Web Browser.

  • Page 46: Dhcp Server Configuration

    DHCP Server Configuration This section applies if your MOXA EtherDevice Server is connected to a LAN that uses a DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to connected hosts. A DHCP server is set up to assign IP addresses to hosts as they log onto the network, so that if EDS is enabled as a DHCP client, then its IP address could change each time it is powered up.
