QuadView HD August 12, 2008 BLACK BOX LES290A Serial Server Configuration for use with RGB Spectrum QVHD Quick Start Guide Serial control of a QuadView HD (QVHD) requires the use of a low cost Serial Server. BLACK BOX offers the LES290A Serial Device Server to enable serial control of the QuadView HD over Ethernet. The connection may be over an IP network or by direct connection, via a Cat 5 Crossover Cable. The LES290A can be ordered on-line at BLACK BOX. Click on the model number for a link to the product. For information regarding cables and adapters, go to the end of this guide. The LES290A Serial Server sends and receives RS232 serial communications with the QVHD over an Ethernet connection. The QVHD sees this communication as a Telnet session. The user sees this communication as a standard RS232 serial port. The Serial Server creates and maintains the Telnet session without any actions from the user beyond a one-time initial configuration. Take these easy steps to set-up the Serial Server. 1. Gathering IP parameter information To perform the initial configuration, you will need to know the IP parameters of the QVHD IP Address IP Gateway IP Subnet The factory default values are: 192.168.1.200 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 If the Ethernet connection between the LES290A Serial Server and the QVHD incorporates a network, you will need to set the QVHD and Serial Server IP parameters to be compatible with the rest of the network. Check with your Network Administrator for these assignments. Note: RGB recommends that the Device Server be given a “Fixed IP Address”. 2. Configuring the Serial Server Before making the final network or direct connection between the LES290A Serial Server and the QVHD, you will first need to use an Ethernet connection via a crossover cable to configure the Serial Server. It is recommended that you use a stand-alone computer, unconnected to a network and use a crossover Ethernet cable between the LES290A Serial Server and the PC. BLACK BOX provides, on CD, a graphical interface for configuration, DeviceInstaller, which runs under Windows 2000, XP or Vista. RGB Spectrum, Inc.

A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host part. The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. Subnet Mask Default Gateway 4. When you are finished, click the OK button. 5. On the main menu, click Apply Settings. 4. Setting up a Point-to-Point or Stand Alone Configuration If your Serial to QVHD connection will be point to point, through a single Ethernet crossover cable, pick an IP address for the LES290A Serial Server that is the same as the QVHD IP address, except for the last number, i.e. 192.168.1.199. 192.168.1.200 is the factory default IP address for the QVHD. You could choose: IP Address 192.168.1.199 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 See Figure 4.
