Getting to Know Your Device Server
1.1 About the DS-11-W Serial Device Server
DS-11-W is an innovative 1 port RS232/422/485 to 802.11b/g
WLAN and 1 port LAN device server. Users are able to configure
DS-11-W by DS-Tool via LAN port or WLAN interface, but not
simultaneously. Once LAN port is activated, WLAN interface will enter
standby mode to minimize power consumption. Secondly, DS-11-W
can simultaneously transfer data into 5 host PCs. This feature can
assure all critical data that saved in different host PCs to avoid ethernet
break or host PCs failure. Thirdly, DS-11-W provides dual redundant
power inputs both on DC power jack and terminal block. DS-11-W also provides NAT pass
through function so that users are able to manage DS-11-W inside or outside NAT router. It is
easy for different IP domain users to use the Switch. Therefore, DS-11-W is the best
communication solution for wireless application of serial devices.
1.2 Software Features
High Speed Air Connectivity: WLAN interface support up to 54Mbps link speed
Highly Security Capability: WEP/WPA/WPA2/802.1X/Radius/TKIP supported
NAT-pass through: User can manage DS-11-W through NAT router
Redundant Power Inputs: 12~48VDC on power jack and terminal block
Redundant multiple host devices: 5 simultaneous in Virtual COM, TCP Server, TCP
Client mode, UDP
Secured Management by HTTPS and SSH
Versatile Modes: Virtual Com, Serial Tunnel, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP
Event Warning by Syslog, Email, SNMP trap, and Beeper

Hardware Installation
2.1 Install DS-11-W on DIN-Rail
Each DS-11-W has a Din-Rail kit on rear panel. The Din-Rail kit helps DS-11-W to fix on
the Din-Rail. It is easy to install the DS-11-W on the Din-Rail:
2.1.1 Mount DS-11-W on DIN-Rail
Step 1: Slant the DS-11-W and mount the metal spring to Din-Rail.
Step 2: Push the DS-11-W toward the Din-Rail until you heard a “click” sound.

2.2 Wall Mounting Installation
Each DS-11-W has another installation method. A wall mount panel can be found in the
package. The following steps show how to mount the DS-11-W on the wall:
2.2.1 Mount DS-11-W on wall
Step 1: Remove Din-Rail kit.

The received data will be queued in the buffer until all the delimiters
are matched. When the buffer is full (4K Bytes) or after "flush S2E

Service Mode – Virtual COM Mode
In Virtual COM Mode, the driver establishes a transparent connection between host and
serial device by mapping the Port of the serial server serial port to local COM port on the host
computer. Virtual COM Mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that
multiple hosts can send or receive data by the same serial device at the same time.
*Not allowed to mapping Virtual COM from web

Label Description
Idle Timeout When serial port stops data transmission for a defined period of time
(Idle Timeout), the connection will be closed and the port will be freed
and try to connect with other hosts. 0 indicate disable this function.

Factory default value is 0. If Multilink is configured, only the first host
connection is effective for this setting.
Alive Check The serial device will send TCP alive-check package in each defined
time interval (Alive Check) to remote host to check the TCP
connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the connection will be
closed and the port will be freed. 0 indicate disable this function.
Factory default is 0.
Max Connection The number of Max connection can support simultaneous connections
are 5, default values is 1.
Service Mode – TCP Server Mode
In TCP Server Mode, DS is configured with a unique Port combination on a TCP/IP network.
In this case, DS waits passively to be contacted by the device. After the device establishes a
connection with the serial device, it can then proceed with data transmission. TCP Server
mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple device can receive data
from the same serial device at the same time.

Service Mode – TCP Client Mode
In TCP Client Mode, device can establish a TCP connection with server by the method
you have settled (Startup or any character). After the data has been transferred, device
can disconnect automatically from the server by using the TCP alive check time or idle
time settings.

Service Mode – UDP Client Mode
Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode,
you can Uni-cast or Multi-cast data from the serial device server to host computers, and
the serial device can also receive data from one or multiple host

Accessible IP Settings
Accessible IP Settings allow you to add or block the remote host IP addresses to
prevent unauthorized access. If host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table, then the
host will be allowed to access the DS. You can choose one of the following cases by
setting the parameter.
1. Only one host with a special IP address can access the device server, “IP address
/255.255.255.255” (e.g., “192.168.0.1/255.255.255.255”).
2. Hosts on a specific subnet can access the device server. “IP

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions
and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be
provide with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
