Introduction KSH International Co., Ltd. is providing new ways of connecting legacy serial devices to a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). e-NET TCP/IP converters are designed to operate serial ports over 100Mbit/s Ethernet networks. The data is transmitted via TCP/IP protocol.
ARM-7 Series converters support manual configuration via the handy web browser console and many protocols including TCP, IP, UDP, HTTP, DHCP, ICMP, and ARP. They are the best solution to network your serial devices. KSH International CO., LTD.

TCP/IP and popular serial port signals. In stead of processing TCP/IP packets directly, devices need only deal with those interface signals, which greatly simplifies the complexity of TCP/IP network in linkage. KSH International CO., LTD.
□ Built-in Security Control □ Protected by both setup password and access password to prevent intruders. □ □ Remote updated □ Firmware can be reprogrammed directly via Ethernet network to keep up with latest network standards. KSH International CO., LTD.

When data traffic occurs on the network, red (Rx/Tx) indicator will blink during data transferring and receiving. Serial I/O Port of RS-422/RS-485 Connect the serial data cable between the converter and the serial device. Follow the parameter setup procedures to configure the converter (see the following chapters ). KSH International CO., LTD.

You can use the Setup Tool “ETM.exe” to setup the IP Address. To proceed the advanced parameter setup, please use a web browser (IE or Netscape) to continue the detailed settings. KSH International CO., LTD.
For quick and easy start , We suggest you to reference “Quick Installation Guide” manual. The following topics are covered in this chapter: □ □ Device Management Utility □ □ □ Menu “View” □ □ □ Menu “Config” □ KSH International CO., LTD.
ETM do not belong to the same subnet, it still works fine. □ □ Broadcast packets can not pass routers. ETM can only be used to monitor devices □ with computer running ETM in the same segment of local area network. (Figure 3.1) KSH International CO., LTD.
Note: Always run the “View-> Refresh” after any data change. (Figure 3.2) □ □ View -> Exit Alt+F4 □ Exit from the program (see Figure 3.2). Menu “Config” □ □ Config -> IP Address (see Figure3.3) □ (Figure 3.3) KSH International CO., LTD.

“15 minutes”. During this 15 minutes period, even if you supply correct password, login will not proceed. This prevents intruders from finding the password by computer generated program. KSH International CO., LTD.
Type the correct password in the “Password” field and click the [Login] button in the “Controller Status” page, then the “Controller Setup” page will appear (see Figure 3.7). Note: If you forget the password or can’t login successfully, please contact the manufacturer directly. (Figure 3.7) KSH International CO., LTD.

During socket connection, Authentication password may be empty or up to 15 characters long. If “Access password” is empty, the authentication is disabled. Otherwise, the authentication will be conducted. If the authentication fails or no password is supplied within 10 seconds, the socket will be closed. KSH International CO., LTD.

Note: If the domain of the converter is different from that of the computer running the browser, the login page won’t appear unless the converter’s “Gateway Address” has been correctly set. KSH International CO., LTD.
2. Use a pin or any point tip to push the screw driver or any conductor to short DTR and CTS (pin 4 and pin 8 in DB9) of RS232 connector. 3. Turn on the power of the converter and wait 5 seconds and remove screwed driver or conductor. KSH International CO., LTD.
Device” is replaced by the PC’s COM 1. The same PC also plays the roll of the Remote Host. The following topics are covered in this chapter: □ □ Hyper Terminal for TCP/IP WinSock □ □ □ Hyper Terminal for COM Port □ □ □ Data Transmission □ KSH International CO., LTD.
Initiate a Hyper Terminal from the Start Menu in Windows (see Figure 4.1), give a terminal name, choose an icon, and press “OK” button (see Figure 4.2). (Figure 4.1) (Figure 4.2) Select “TCP/IP(Winsock)” option at the “Connect using:” field (see Figure 4.3) KSH International CO., LTD.

“TCP Server”.) (Figure 4.4) After “OK” button is pressed, Figure 4.5 appears. If the Hyper Terminal connects with the converter successfully, the time clock at the “left lower” corner “Connected hh:mm:ss” will start counting. KSH International CO., LTD.
Terminal and check if the typed characters are also displayed on the TCP/IP Winsock Terminal. Alternatively, check if the characters typed on the TCP/IP Winsock Terminal are also displayed on the COM Port Terminal. If yes, then all settings are correct and the converter can operate properly.
