Page 13: Wiring Requirements
Connecting to the Network Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the CN2610’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. There are 2 LED indicators located on the top left and right corners of the Ethernet connector.
Page 14: Connecting To A Serial Device
The console port can be used if a network is unavailable, or you do not know the CN2610’s IP address. To connect to the console port, use a PC running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal or PComm by MOXA; parameter settings are: baudrate = 115200 bps, parity check = None, data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, terminal type = VT100).
Page 15 Getting Started CN2610 Windows Utility The CN2610 Utility is a convenient Windows utility that can be used to find both the name and IP address of your CN2610. Once you know the IP address, you can telnet the CN2610 over the network to complete the configuration process and to gather information about all servers on the network.

Page 24: Server Configuration-Lan
Domain Name Server in the Domain server 2 IP address field. When the CN2610 receives a connection request, the CN2610 first checks the host table defined on the Host_table page. If a matching entry cannot be found, the CN2610 sends a query to the Domain Name Server.
Page 25 Async server IP netmask—A netmask is used to isolate a group of computers to the same subnet. When a packet is sent out over the network, the CN2610 will use the netmask to determine if the destination TCP/IP host is on the same subnet. If the address is on the same subnet, a connection is established directly from the CN2610.
Page 26: Server Configuration-Adv
Windows NT includes RADIUS software. For UNIX-based platforms, refer to Appendix B for information about setting up a RADIUS server. NOTE: The RADIUS server and the CN2610 SHOULD be able to communicate with each other. To verify this, check to see if you can ping from each server to the other.

Page 32: Knowing Your Application
Knowing Your Application Chapter 3 This chapter discusses a variety of applications for the CN2610 Async Server. Refer to the diagrams in each section to see which application most closely matches your own. Determining which application you should choose will save time configuring both the hardware and software.
Page 33: Windows Real Com (Nt Real Com)
You can enhance your applications greatly by using the CN2610 to access serial devices over an Ethernet network, and since the CN2610 and the COM driver handle all protocol conversion tasks, you won’t need to modify the software currently in use. In fact, multiple PCs can access the serial ports of one CN2610, as shown in the figure.
Page 34: Linux Real Tty/Unix Fixed Tty (Nt Real Com)
CN2610 can be used with existing Linux-based applications that use multiport serial boards, since the host PC will recognize CN2610’s COM ports as real TTY ports. You can enhance your applications by using the CN2610 to access serial devices over an Ethernet network, but without needing to modify the software currently in use.
Page 35: Udp Communication (Raw Udp)
ASPP takes care of the more basic protocol-level programming tasks, and allows you to concentrate your energy on higher level, application-specific tasks. RAW Mode—To control device data transmission directly, set the CN2610 for TCP RAW mode. Device control applications can use standard Linux/Unix Socket programming in Linux/Unix environments, or WinSock programming in Windows environments.
Page 36: Dual-Host Redundant Data Acquisition System (Drdas)
The DRDAS operation mode provides a highly redundant network structure that takes advantage of the CN2610’s dual LAN ports, dual IP addresses, and dual MAC addresses. DRDAS uses a backup PC that is set up to take over when the primary PC fails.
Page 37 1. When the Primary PC and LAN A fail at the same time (the backup PC and LAN B will take over). 2. When the Primary PC and the Primary CN2610 fail at the same time (the backup PC and the backup CN2610 will take over).
Page 38: Redundant Com
CN2610’s two LAN ports to set up two independent LANs that connect the CN2610 to the host computer. If either of the two LANs fails, the other LAN will continue transmitting packets between the serial devices and the host, with the packets passing through the CN2610.
Page 39: Console Management (Reverse Terminal)
RAW mode, however, does not provide a Telnet conversion function. If the serial devices connected to the CN2610 need to use the CR/LF conversion function, then Rtelnet mode must be used. The CN2610’s Rtelnet mode is also used widely for device management applications in telecommunication control rooms, since remote hosts can make use of Local User Table or RADIUS identity verification methods.
Page 40: Terminal Access (Terminal)
The CN2610’s Terminal Access application is used to connect terminals to Unix or Windows Servers over a network. The terminals connect to the CN2610’s serial ports at a remote site, with terminal commands transmitted over the network via the CN2610’s Ethernet port. The Terminal Access application allows you to use fast keys used in many terminal applications, and switching sessions on the same terminal.
Page 41: Multi-Host Tty (Multi-Host Tty)
When communication begins, the networked Unix server must first enable Moxattyd to activate the TTY port’s mapping function. Moxattyd will initiate the connection with the CN2610, and the CN2610 will listen to the connection requests issued by various Moxattyd over different TCP ports.
Page 42: Dial-In/Out-Of-Band Management (Dialin/Out)
The CN2610 provides dial-up/dial-out access for ISPs and enterprises that need a remote access solution. When a user at a remote site uses a PPP dial-up connection to access the CN2610, the CN2610 plays the role of dial-up server, but also ensures the user has legal access to the network by verifying the user’s identity with its Local User Table or RADIUS.
Page 43: Network Printer (Printer)
Printer Printer The CN2610’s printing program (running under UNIX) provides an excellent solution for banking and stock exchange services with huge printing demands. Use a Windows or Unix host’s network printer function via RAW mode, and assign a specific IP address and TCP port number to specify the printer’s location.
Page 44: Multiplexor Access (Multiplex)
If are using a multiport serial board installed in a UNIX host, but wish to extend the device control range without dismantling the host, you can accomplish this with the CN2610. Multiplex and De-multiplex solutions use the CN2610’s RTelnet and terminal modes, eliminating the need to modify existing software.
Page 45: Setting Up Windows Real Com/Linux Real Tty/Unix Fixed Tty
Real COM ports by the Windows operating system, or Real TTY ports by Linux operating systems. The CN2610 can be used for a variety of applications to make the serial ports accessible over an Ethernet, but without the need to modify existing serial transmission software.

Page 194: Setting Up Multiplex
Setting Up Multiplex Chapter 14 In this chapter, we describe how to configure the CN2610 as a Multiplexor and De-Multiplexor. Using the Multiplexor/De-Multiplexor application requires two Async Servers—one attached to a host with a multi-port serial board and several serial lines, and the other connected to external devices.

Page 196: Selecting The Application
The other server (called the “device” CN2610) is connected to external serial devices. In this way, one host can use a TCP/IP connection to control multiple serial devices from a remote location. We use ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 on both CN2610s to illustrate.

Two things are needed to make this work: (1) Routing tables must match destination addresses with next hops, and (2) routing protocols must determine the contents of these tables. The CN2610 provides easy-to-use routing functions that support both static routing tables and dynamic RIP1/RIP2 routing protocols. This chapter illustrates how to configure static routing tables and dynamic RIP1/RIP2 protocols.
