Page 7: Chapter 1: Overview
Chapter 1: Overview The iNS Industrial Network port Server provides communication between peripheral devices and computers connected to a network. When the iNS is connected to your LAN and to one or more peripherals, it manages network traffic, routing it to the correct device. For example, the network diagram below shows how the iNS might be used to allow one or more PCs to share expensive peripherals or to access peripherals that are located elsewhere on the local or remote network. -

The model number describes the options included: Model Number of Serial Port Ethernet Serial Ports Isolation... -
Page 11: Chapter 2: Installing The Hardware
Chapter 2: Installing the Hardware This chapter describes installing the hardware, including: • Planning the installation • Checking cables and connectors • Sample configurations Overview Installing the hardware includes the following steps: 1. Plan the installation 2. Connect the iNS port server to your network The most common connection method is through the 10/100 Base-TX RJ-45 connector to your Ethernet LAN, using a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to a hub/switch. -

iNS Panel Connectors The following figure shows the connectors and LED locations for the iNS models. There are: • 1 to 4 serial ports with DB9 and screw terminal connectors • 1 or 4 RJ-45 Ethernet ports 10/100Tx LAN RESET STATUS Figure 2-1: iNS Front Panel Connectors The Status LED indicates the overall status of the device. -
Page 13: Connecting Devices To The Ins
RS-232 Operation The iNS/3000 port server family uses an EIA-232 data terminal equipment (DTE) pinout on the serial ports. Table 2-1 lists the pinouts of the DB-9 and screw terminal ports used for EIA- 232 serial communications. - Page 14 Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, and Figure 2-4 show cable diagrams for three common configurations. The cable shown in Figure 2-3 may be used to connect modems to the iNS/3000. Modems should be configured to switch their carrier detect signal (CD) on and off in response to making and breaking telephone connections.
- Page 15 Figure 2-4: DB-9 to DB-9 Terminal Cable The iNS/3000 does not require the use of all 9 wires. Only the RX, TX, and GND signals are essential. DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS are only necessary for flow control. DCD (pin 1) is normally not required and RI (pin 9) is only required for modems that need a ring indicator.

Page 17: Rs-422/485 Operation
RS-422/485 Operation Unlike RS-232, the RS-485 and RS-422 specifications do not have a standard set of pinouts. In general, whenever you use RS-422/485 devices you will need to make custom cables. The iNS pinouts for RS-422 /RS-485 mode are shown in Table 2-6. Name Direction Not used... -
Page 18: Ethernet Lan
Ethernet LAN The iNS is connected to your LAN using an Ethernet port. The Ethernet port on the iNS is a standard 10/100 Base-TX RJ-45 jack. It can be connected to an Ethernet hub/switch via a standard, straight-through Ethernet cable. Server or Devices Workstation... -
Page 19: Starting The Ins
Starting the iNS When the iNS is powered up, the LEDs will flash to indicate normal operation. The following LED colors and patterns will be displayed during normal startup, if no errors are detected. • Status LED – initially this LED will be yellow, but will quickly turn green. If the status LED is solid green, then the iNS doesn’t have a permanent IP address and is trying to obtain one from a DHCP server. -
Page 21: Chapter 3: Using Rs-422 And Rs-485 Devices
Chapter 3: Using RS-422 and RS-485 Devices The iNS can be used to communicate with RS-422 and RS-485 devices. This chapter describes connecting these devices and configuring the iNS to communicate in this mode. Connecting RS-422/485 Devices RS-422 and RS-485 modes are very similar, except that in RS-422 mode the transmitter remains enabled at all times;... -

Page 24: Four-Wire Systems
Four-Wire Systems In four-wire communication, there are two pairs of transmit and receive lines, allowing full duplex communication. In most four-wire systems, an RS-422 device will serve as the master with several RS-485 devices as slaves. However, an RS-422 device is not required; an RS-485 device can serve as the master. -
Page 25: Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting The iNS has several LED indicators: Status, Serial ports, and Ethernet. The LEDs use red, yellow, and green blinking combinations to indicate the status of each of the iNS’s major components. Status LED The status LED indicates the overall status of the iNS. See Table 4-1. Status LED Condition Meaning Solid Green... -
