  • Page 8: Inside The Future Of Industrial Ethernet Technology

    Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, such devices cannot always know what’s happening elsewhere on the network. This means that industrial Ethernet communication equipment that connects these devices must take responsibility for providing system maintainers with real-time alarm messages.

  • Page 15: How To Use Moxa Etherdevice Server

    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.

  • Page 16: 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 17 192.168.100.7 255.255.255.0 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 18: Redundant Ethernet Ring Setup

    When Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 801.1D) is enabled, you should connect ports 7 and 8 to the network (instead of to a device). That is, these ports should connect to a HUB, switch, or another MOXA EtherDevice Server, provided the opposing device is connected to the rest of the network.

  • Page 19: Basic Device Management

    How To Use MOXA EtherDevice Server 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.

  • Page 20: Advanced Device Management

    Advanced Device Management Some users will want to use MOXA EtherDevice Server’s full range of management and monitoring functions. This not only includes such functions as Monitor, Auto Warning, Mirror Port, and Segment Integrity, mentioned in the previous section, but also Advanced EDS functions that allow you to configure EDS’s own network parameters, and functions that...

  • Page 21: Dhcp Server Configuration

    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 22 What we will do is use DHCP Manager to set aside a specific IP address that will always be assigned to your MOXA EtherDevice Server when it is connected to the network. When EDS is not connected to the network, the reserved IP address is not used.
  • Page 23 How To Use MOXA EtherDevice Server STEP 4 To get started, click on DHCP Options and then chose Scope from the pull down menu. STEP 5 Once the Create Scope (Local) window opens (see below), you will be required to input a range of IP addresses in the IP Address Pool.

    The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect MOXA EtherDevice Server to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know MOXA EtherDevice Server’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to access MOXA EtherDevice Server over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.

    Line-Swap Fast Recovery The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows MOXA EtherDevice Server to return to normal operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery time is on the order of a few milliseconds.

  • Page 61: Communication Redundancy

    This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable. For example, if MOXA EtherDevice Server is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue.
