Using SEC (Serial-to-Ethernet

Connector)

Introduction

Serial to Ethernet Connector is an advanced software-based

solution that allows you to share more than 255 serial port

devices over network easily turning your computer into low-

cost terminal server. Thus, any serial port device connected

to your COM port could be accessed from anywhere in the

world (via Internet or LAN) as if it is attached directly to the

remote PC. When the attached serial port device sends

communication data, it is actually transmitted over TCP/IP

network and back from the network to your serial device.

Serial to Ethernet Connector provides the ability to create

several connection types for three main purposes:

• Share serial port for incoming connections (Server)

Server connection will be waiting for incoming client

connections and actually will share local real or virtual

serial port into network. Server connection provides an

ability to connect many clients simultaneously and each

connected client is able to transmit input/output serial data

to local real or virtual serial port.

• Connect serial port to Serial Device Server (Client)

Creating client connection will initiate local real or virtual

serial port data redirection to the remote server using TCP/

IP protocol.

You have to do is specify remote server's IP address

(or network name) and TCP port to connect to. Once

connection is established, all data sent from remote serial

port device, attached to the server, will be genuinely

delivered to local serial port where it can be further

processed.

• Share serial port using UDP

You can redirect input/output data from local real or virtual

serial port using UDP/IP underlay protocol. Besides, you

are able to broadcast all serial data to your local network.

Driver installation

1. Double click SDS_Setup in order to start installation

process.

Note: This driver combines the utilities of Serial to Ethernet

Connector and Serial to Ethernet Toolkit. Both utilities will

be installed to the computer after running the installation.

2. Follow the on-sereen instructions to complete the

installation. Once the installation has been completed,

Two shortcuts ( and ) will appear on the desktop. To

launch the utility, double-click the shortcut which created

on the desktop. Alternatively, navigate the Start menu

and locate the launcher in Programs submenu.

Note: Please install the utility before connecting the serial

server to a computer.

Uninstall the software

Uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Connector

To uninstall the Uninstall Serial to Ethernet Connector,

click on Uninstall Serial to Ethernet Connector under

Ethernet Software item in Programs submenu, and then

follow the on-screen instructions.

Uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Toolkit

1. To uninstall the Serial to Ethernet Toolkit, click Control

Panel in Programs submenu.

2. Click Uninstall a program under Program > right click

on Select Serial Device Server to bring up Uninstall.

Quick starting guide

This guide will take you through the process of establishing

client-server connection over TCP/IP network. To launch the

Serial to Ethernet Connector, double click the shortcut

on the desktop.

Sharing a local serial port on PC

1. In Create connection tab choose the required connection

type: Share serial port for incoming connections (Server).

Also specify the name to identify this connection, for

instance, COM1 [Server]

2. Select local serial port to be shared. For example, COM1

Note: A serial port name must not contain spaces inside.

3. Tick Create as virtual serial port checkbox to use a

virtual serial port instead of a real one. The advantage of

virtual serial ports technology is that you are not limited to

the number of physical serial ports in a system, and thus

you can free existing serial ports for other applications.

Note: A virtual serial port can have the same name as

the existing physical COM port. But in this case it will be

accessed instead of physical one.

4. Tick Strict baud rate emulation checkbox if you want to

enable baud rate emulation, which permits virtual ports to

work with the same speed as real ones.

5. Specify TCP port, which will be used in connection. Make

sure this port is not blocked by rewall and is not used by

other servers in your system (DNS, SMTP, IIS, etc.).

6. Click Create connection button.

7. Now the shared serial port can be accessed from the

Serial Device Server side (next page) with default

settings.

Connecting to a shared serial port from the

serial device server

1. In Create connection tab choose the required

connection type: Connect serial port to Serial Server

Device. The name to identify this connection will be set

automatically depending on the shared serial port, which

participates in connection.

2. Specify the shared serial port number to connect to.

3. Also specify the remote server's IP or name, as well as

TCP port, used in connection. Click Add button to add IP

address to IP's list.

4. Сlick Create connection button.

5. Now you are ready to start the communication process

with default settings.

Creating UDP Connecting

Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you establish UDP/IP

connection between serial ports. UDP connection may

come useful for streaming big chunks of data as well as for

Mail, DNS, Finger and other services.

To create a connection, follow these instructions:

1. Switch to Create connection tab.

2. Specify connection name to identify this conguration.

Default name is based on local serial port number,

which participates in connection, and connection type in

brackets.

3. Select connection type you want to create. In this case it

is Share serial port using UDP.

4. In Select Serial Port eld choose local serial port which

will participate in connection: either add it manually, or

select one from the drop-down list.

5. Tick Create as virtual serial port option if you would like

to use virtual serial ports instead of real ones.

6. Tick Strict baud rate emulation checkbox if you want

to enable baud rate emulation. You can nd more details

about our virtual serial port and baud rate emulation

technologies here.

7. Specify IP address (or network name) of the remote end

and port number to connect to. Make sure that the port

numbers are the same at both ends and are not blocked

by rewall.

8. You can also specify the port to receive the data,

regardless of the port the data is sent to. It may be useful

if you create UDP connection with several devices that

have the same ports.

9. Finally, click Create connection button. Once connection

is created, you can see it in Connections tree.

10. Open local serial port. You may use Windows

HyperTerminal utility for this purpose. This step is

necessary only if you want to verify whether the

connection was created successfully.

11. Create UDP connection at the remote end. Repeat steps

1-10 listed above. Make sure that the port numbers are

the same at both ends and are not blocked by rewall.

12. Now you are ready to start communication process with

default settings. You can refer to Editing UDP connection

section if you would like to edit a newly established

connection.

Serial to Ethernet Toolkit

Search a Serial Device Server

1. Double click the shortcut on the desktop.

2. Connect a serial device server to the computer and then

open the Serial to Ethernet Toolkit.

3. Click <Device Management> on the left window.

4. Click <Search> button on the right window.

5. All the searched devices will be listed on the Device List

when the search procedure is nished.

Web console

This Serial server supports the remote conguration using

web console on the network. To use the web console, open

a web browser (eg., Internet Explorer) and type the IP

address which you have set in the Network and Sharing

Center (string example of Windows 7®, the actual string is

depending on your operating system).

Note: Congure the IP address to 192.168.3.X where

the X is between 2 and 254. To set up your computer's IP

address, refer to the operating system's instruction manual.

the password is admin.

Network settings

Network settings are used to setup network parameters for

serial server. User must assign a valid IP address to serial

server. Network system administrator will provide you with

an IP address and related settings for the network. The

IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise,

serial server will not have a valid connection to the network).

IP Address

An IP address is a number assigned to a serial server.

Computers use the IP address to identify and communicate

with the device over the Network. Choose a proper IP

address which is unique and valid in the network.

By default, the IP address is 192.168.3.22

Default Net Mask will be 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway is 192.168.3.1

IP Conguration

There are four possible IP Conguration modes, Static,

DHCP, BOOTPM and DHCP/BOOTP respectively. These

modes are located under the web console screen’s IP

conguration drop-down box In dynamic IP environments.

The rmware will retry 3 times every 30 seconds until

Network Settings are assigned by the DHCP or BOOTP

server. The timeout for each try increases from 1 second, to

3 seconds, to 5 seconds. If the DHCP/BOOTP server is

unavailable, the rmware will use the default IP Address,

192.168.3.22, Net mask, and Gateway for IP settings. The

factory default is Static.

DNS Server 1/ DNS Server 2

In order to use serial server’s DNS feature, you need to set

the IP address of the DNS server to be able to access

the host with the Domain Name. Serial server provides

DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2 conguration items to

congure the IP address of the DNS Server. DNS Server 2

is included for use when DNS Sever 1 is unavailable. LAN

server plays the role of DNS client. Functions that support

domain name in serial server are Time Sever IP Address,

TCP Client-Destination IP Address, Mail Server, SNMP Trap

IP Address, and IP Location Server.

SNMP Settings

Enable or disable SNMP function. The factory default is

Enable.

Community Name

A community name is a plain-text password mechanism that

is used to weakly authenticate queries to agents of

managed Network Devices. The factory default is Public.

Contact

The SNMP contact information usually includes an

emergency contact name and telephone or pager number.

The factory default is NONE.

Location

Specify the location string for SNMP agents such as serial

server. This string is usually set to the street address where

the serial server is physically located. The factory default is

NONE.

IP address report

When serial servers are used in a dynamic IP environment,

users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For

example, serial server works as a server (TCP or UDP), and

the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address

of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address

to the server; the host must take care of what happens

when the IP changes. Serial servers help out by periodically

reporting their IP address to the IP Location Server, in case

the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below

are used to congure the Auto IP Report function. There are

two ways to develop an Auto IP Report Server” to receive

serial server’s Auto IP Report.

WiFi settings

Mode

• Infra: Connect via an access point

• Adhoc: Direct connect to a PC without an access point.

Scan Routers: Click <Scan Routers> to search the

available wireless LAN(s), and then select a desired

wireless LAN to join.

IP conguration: Enable the DHCP to get an IP address

from the wireless router or disable to change the IP address,

Subnet mask and Default Gateway.

Encryption: OFF and ON.

Key ID: Select a Key ID which you have set on the

connected AP, and then enter the password. The serial

server will detect the security mode automatically.

Note: The password you entered must be the same as

congured on the AP.

Serial settings

Serial Settings page is used to set serial port parameters

and request for their status.

All of the items mentioned above will reect real-time status.

If its setting is override by some application setting, it will

show the current running setting. To modify serial settings

for a particular port, click on desired port number under

Serial Settings. Those serial port parameters are meaningful

only in multiple connection usage. When used in the single

connection scenario, those setting will be override by

application settings.

Port Alias

Port alias is specially designed to allow easy identication

of the aerial devices which are connected to serial server’s

aerial port. The factory default is None and is optional.

Baud rate

Can be set from 110 bps to 921600 bps. The factory default

is 115200 bps.

Data bits

Data bits are 5,6,7,8. The factory default is 8.

Stop bits

Stop bits are 1 ,2. The factory default is 1.

Parity

None, Even, Odd, Space, Mark. The factory default is

None.

Flow control

Supports None, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, Xon/ Xoff. The factory

default is None.

Interface: RS-232, RS-485/422 (4-wire), RS-485(2-wire)

Operating settings

Click Operating Settings to display the operating settings

for all of serial server ports. To congure the desired port,

click from left window under Operating Settings item.

Note: When the Serial server is under REAL COM mode,

the default TCP ports are as follows:

Port 1 1234

Port 2 1235

Port 3 1236

Port 4 1237

Operation mode

Real COM mode

TCP Alive check time

1 to 99 min: Serial server automatically closes TCP

connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.

After the connection is closed, serial server starts listening

for another Real COM driver’s connection from another

host. The factory default is 7 minutes.

TCP server mode

TCP Alive check time: The factory default is 7 minutes.

● 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP

connection.

● 1 to 99 min: Serial server automatically closes TCP

connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.

After the connection is closed, serial server starts listening

for another host’s TCP connection.

Inactivity time (0-65535 ms): The factory default is 0 ms.

● 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle Serial

Line.

● 0-65535 ms: serial server automatically closes the

TCP connection if there is no Serial data activity for the

given time. After the connection is closed, Serial Server

starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This

parameter denes the maintenances status as Closed or

Listen on the TCP connection. The connection is closed

if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial

port during the specic Inactivity time.

If the value of inactivity time is set to 0, the current TCP

connection is maintained until there is connection close

request. Although inactivity time is disabled, the serial

server will check the connection status between the serial

server and remote host by sending keep alive packets

periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the

packet, it assumes that the connection was closed down

unintentionally. Serial server will then force the existing

TCP connection to close. To prevent the unintended

loss of data due to the session disconnected, it is highly

recommended that this value is set large enough so that

the intended data transfer is completed. Max connection:

The factory default is 1. Max Connection is usually

used when the user needs to receive data from different

hosts simultaneously. The factory default only allows 1

connection at a time.

● Max. Connection 1: Serial server only allows 1 host to

open the TCP connection to the specic serial port.

● Max Connection 2 to 4: Allow 2 to 4 host’s TCP connection

request to open the specic serial server’s serial port,

at the same time. When multiple hosts establish a TCP

connection to the specic serial port at the same time,

serial server will duplicate the serial data and transmit to

all of the hosts. Ethernet data is sent on a rst-in-rst-out

basis to the serial port when data comes into serial server

from the Ethernet interface.

TCP client mode

TCP Alive check time

● 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP

connection.

● 1 to 99 min: Serial Server automatically closes TCP

connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.

Inactivity time

● 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial

line.

● 0-65535 ms: Serial server automatically closes the

TCP connection if there is no serial data activity for the

given time. After the connection is closed, serial server

starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This

parameter denes the maintenances status as Closed or

Listen on the TCP connection. The connection is closed

if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the

serial port during the specic Inactivity time. If the value

of inactivity time is set to 0, the current TCP connection

is maintained until there is connection close request.

Although inactivity time is disabled, the serial server

will check the connection status between the serial

server and remote host by sending keep alive packets

periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the

packet, it assumes that the connection was closed down

unintentionally. Serial server will then force the existing

TCP connection to close.

UDP mode

Destination IP Address 1: Setting destination IP address

1, allows serial server to connect actively to the remote host

whose address is set by this parameter.

Destination IP Address 2 / 3 / 4: Destination IP address

2/3/4, allows serial server to connect actively to the remote

host whose address is set by this parameter.

Local Listen Port: The UDP port that serial server listens

to and those other devices must use to contact serial server.

To avoid conicts with well-known UDP ports, the default is

set to 4001.

Accessible IP settings

Serial server has an IP address based ltering method to

control access to the serial server. Accessible IP Settings

allows you to add or remove legal remote host IP addresses

to prevent unauthorized access. Access to serial server is

controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address is in

the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed access

to the serial server.

You can allow one of the following cases by setting the

parameter in any of the 16 rules.

■ Only one host of specic IP address can access the serial

server.

Enter IP address/255.255.255.255

(e.g., “192.168.1.1/ 255.255.255.255”).

■ Hosts on the specic subnet can access the serial server.

Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0”

(e.g., “192.168.1.0/2 55.255.255.255”).

■ Any Host can access the serial server.

Disable this function. By default the accessible IPs

list is disabled.

Auto warning wettings

E-mail and SNMP trap

Enter the mail server IP address for the serial server to

send auto warning mails to the mail server. If the mail

server requires authentication, tick My server requires

authentication check box and enter the User name /

Password.

Input the Email address of the recipient to receive auto

warning mails.

Input the SNMP trap server IP address or domain name for

auto reporting.

Event type

This refers to start the system from power off (contrast this

with Warm start). When performing a cold start, serial server

will automatically issue an auto warning message by e-mail,

or send an SNMP trap after rebooting.

This refers to restart the computer without turning the power

off. It’s the opposite of cold start. When performing a warm

start, serial server will automatically send an e-mail, or send

an SNMP trap after rebooting.

The user inputs a wrong password from the console or

administrator. When authentication failure occurs, serial

server will immediately send an e-mail or send an SNMP

trap.

The user has changed serial server’s IP address. When the

IP address changes, serial server will send an e-mail with

the new IP address before serial server reboots.

If the serial server fails to send mail to the mail server after

15 seconds, serial server will be rebooting directly and abort

the mail auto warning.

The user has changed serial server’s password. When the

password changes , serial server will send an e-mail with

the password change notice before serial server reboots. If

the serial server fails to send mail to the mail server after 15

seconds, serial server will be rebooting directly and abort

the mail auto warning.

<Mail>

This feature helps the administrator manage the serial

server. Serial server sends mail to pre-dened mail boxes

when the enabled events—such as cold start, warm start,

authentication failure, etc.—occur. To congure this feature,

click on the event type box.

<Trap>

This feature helps the administrator manage the serial

server. Serial server send SNMP Trap to a pre-dened

SNMP Trap server when the enabled events—such as cold

start, warm start, authentication failure, etc.—occur. To

congure this feature, you need to click on the event type

box.

Change password

Input the Old password and New password to change the

password. Leave the password boxes blank to erase the

password.

In this case, the serial server will not have password

protection. If user forgets the password, the ONLY way to

congure serial server is by using the Reset button on serial

server’s casing to Load Factory Default. (default password

is admin)

Load factory default

This function will reset all of serial server’s settings to the

factory default values.

The console must prompt the warning message to the users

to notice them that previous settings will be lost.

Upgrade

The Upgrade page enables user to upgrade rmware from

web console.

The upgrade option needs a TFTP Server program which

needs to be run on the client PC from where the complete

rmware Image is to be downloaded onto the serial server

board.

The Device IP Address displays the IP address of the serial

server.

Enter the TFTP server IP Address and the Filename of the

update le, and then click Upgrade. The rmware will be

completely upgraded.

Save/Restart

This function is used to save current setting and automatic

restart the serial server.

Click Submit to save and restart the serial server.

Warning!! Reboot will disconnect both serial and Ethernet

connections and data maybe lost.

Telnet console

Serial server implements a telnet server and can be invoked

by making a telnet from remote PC.

1. Enable the Telnet Console function from Windows

Conguration Utility.

2.Go to Start Menu > Run.

3. Run telnet from remote pc with the IP address of serial

server.
