  • Page 7: Introduction

    1. Introduction 1.1. Overview The HelloDevice Pro Series is a Universal terminal server (or device server) that makes your legacy serial devices manageable by industry-standard Ethernet network. Based on open network protocols such as TCP/IP and UDP, it gives you ultimate flexibility to your serial devices. With the rich broadband network connectivity protocols such as DHCP and Dynamic DNS, you could easily manage the legacy serial devices over broadband Internet by using DSL or cable modem connection.

    2.2.6. Using Remote console The IP address of the Pro Series must be known before users can access the Pro Series using the Remote console (see chapter 3 Network Configuration for details). The default IP address of Pro Series is 192.168.161.5. The Remote console access function can be disabled in the remote host access option (3.5 IP Filtering for details).

    3. Network Configuration 3.1. IP Configuration The Pro Series requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the Pro Series.
  • Page 25: Using A Static Ip Address

    3.1.1. Using a Static IP Address When using a Static IP address, the user must manually specify all the configuration parameters associated with the IP address of the Pro Series. These include the IP address, the network subnet mask, the gateway computer and the domain name server computers. This section will look at each of these in more detail.
  • Page 26: Using Dhcp

    address each time it boots up. The IP address should be reserved on the DHCP server side to assure that the user always knows the newly assigned Pro Series address. In order to reserve the IP address in the DHCP network, the administrator needs the MAC address of the Pro Series found on the label sticker at the bottom of the Pro Series.

MIB-II System objects Configuration MIB–II System objects configuration sets the System Contact, Name, Location, and Authentication- failure traps used by the SNMP agent of the Pro Series. These settings provide the values used for the MIB-II sysName, sysContact, sysLocation, sysService and enableAuthenTrap.

    EnablePoweronTraps: Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate power-on traps. EnableAuthenTrap: Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate authentication-failure traps. The value of this object overrides any configuration information; as such, it provides a means whereby all authentication-failure traps may be disabled.. EnableLoginTrap: Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate system login traps for console, telnet and Web access.

    Figure 3-3 Browsing MIB-II OIDs of Pro Series SNMP agent using SNMP Browser (AdventNet MibBrowser) 3.3. Dynamic DNS Configuration When users connect the Pro Series to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, the IP address might be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difficult to post all related contacts for each new IP address.

The user may then add a new Dynamic DNS Host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC. After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter the registered Domain Name, User Name, and Password.
  • Page 32: Ip Filtering

    SMTP servers often check only the sender’s host domain name of the email address for validity. Consequently, the email address set for the device can use an arbitrary username with a registered hostname (i.e. arbitrary_user@yahoo.com or anybody@sena.com). The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when either SMTP with authentication or POP-before-SMTP mode is selected.

    4.2.2. Port Title Users can enter descriptive information for each port based on the device attached to it. This can include the device type, vendor, and/or location. Figure 4-3 Port title configuration 4.2.3. Host Mode Configuration The Pro Series operating mode is called the “host mode.” Three host modes are available: TCP mode, UDP mode, Modem emulation mode.
  • Page 42 Figure 4-4 shows the main workspace screen for the host mode configuration. Figure 4-4 Host mode configuration 4.2.3.1. TCP mode For easier understanding of TCP modes, a simplified State Transition Diagram is often used. And to help users understand the diagram, the TCP state of the Pro Series is briefly described as follows. - [Listen] It represents “a waiting for a connection request from any registered remote host”.
  • Page 43 If the Pro Series has sent a connection request to a remote host, the state is changed from [Closed] to [Sync-Sent]. This state is maintained until the remote host accepts the connection request. - [Established] It represents “an open connection”. If one of the hosts, the remote host or the Pro Series, accepts a connection request from the other, the connection is opened and state is changed into [Established].
  • Page 44 The connected session will be disconnected when the remote host sends disconnection request or when no data transfer activity is found through the serial port for certain amount of time, which is “Inactivity timeout” (See Options in section 4.4 for details on Inactivity timeout). All the data remained in the serial port buffer will be cleared when it is disconnected.

Cyclic Connection If Cyclic Connection function is enabled, the Pro Series will make an attempt to connect to the user-defined remote host(s) at a given interval even if there’s no incoming serial data from the device connected to that serial port.

If the remote host is one of the hosts configured on remote host configuration, then Pro Series transfers the data through the serial port.

Namely, Inactivity Timeout in UDP mode is the time maintained recent unlisted remote host list by Pro Series.

  • Page 90: Appendix 3. Well-Known Port Numbers

    Appendix 3. Well-known port numbers Port numbers are divided into three ranges: Well Known Ports, Registered Ports, and Dynamic and/or Private Ports. Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151. Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535. Well Known Ports are assigned by IANA, and on most systems, can only be used by system processes or by programs executed by privileged users.
