SerialGate User Guide

Ch. 4 Installation

This chapter explains how to install SerialGate. It deals with LAN and serial connection guides

for SerialGate to operate together with the target serial device.

Connection Guide

In order to connect SerialGate to network, you need to use RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports both

10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet connection (auto-sensing). Since SerialGate’s WAN/LAN port

supports MDIX, it automatically detects any kind of cable. (Cross or direct LAN cable) Plug one

end of a LAN cable to SerialGate and the other end to a hub, switch, or any other network

device.

First-Time Bootup

First of all, please make sure that the power input you supply to the module is corresponding with the

SerialGate model that you have. If an appropriate power input has been successfully supplied,

SerialGate will power on and start booting.

Although there is no power LED to check the status, you can check by LEDs on the RJ45 Ethernet port.

LED status operation is described in Chapter 3. Hardware Description.

An IP address is required to access SerialGate’s web interface or telnet command-line configuration

tool. By factory default, a static IP address is assigned to SerialGate. After the initial connection, you

can either manually assign a different IP address or set SerialGate to automatically get an IP address

from a DHCP server. While this depends on your network environment and policy, it is strongly

recommended that a user assigns SerialGate with a unique static IP.

Connecting to SerialGate

In order to view current SerialGate’s settings or modify them, you need to make a Web or Telnet

connection to SerialGate. IP address is required information to make a connection.

There are two ways you can know the current IP address of Eddy.

SerialGate User Guide

If SerialGate’s WAN port uses assigned IP address from DHCP server or is set to a fixed IP address,

SerialGate supports the following options in case that a user does not know IP address.

For SerialGate-1010/1020, SerialGate-1010(W)/ALL, SerialGate-1020(W)/All

1. A user can connect to SerialGate LAN port’s virtual IP address; “10.10.1.1”

2. A user can search IP address pre-set to SerialGate using “Detector” application enclosed in Utility &

Documents CD and connect to SerialGate.

For SerialGate-1040/1080/1160

1. A user can connect to SerialGate LAN port’s default IP address; “10.10.1.1”.

2. Connecting a serial console port to a PC’s serial port, a user can set 115,200bps and connect to a

SerialGate.

3. A user can search IP address pre-set to SerialGate using “Detector” application enclosed in Utility &

Documents CD and connect to SerialGate.

WAN Default IP address: 192.168.0.223

SerialGate’s default IP address is set to 192.168.0.223. In order to

connect with this address, you need to change network configurations

so that your PC can connect to the IP 192.168.0.223. Please refer to

an example below, and note that values don’t necessarily have to be

identical to the example below.

LAN Sub IP address: 10.10.1.1

For SerialGate-1010/1020, LAN port’s virtual IP address is 10.10.1.1

while LAN port’s default IP address for SeroalGate-1040/1080/1160 is

10.10.1.1. In order to connect with this address, you need to change

network configurations so that your PC can connect to the IP

10.10.1.1. Please refer to an example below, and note that values

don’t necessarily have to be identical to the example below.

SerialGate User Guide

Serial Console Port

SerialGate-1040/1080/1160 supports console

port. If a user connects console port and a

PC’s serial port with a serial cable, and run

communication program such as

hyperterminal, a user can make a

configuration as 115200 bps, None Parity, 8

Data bits, 1 Stop Bit and connect to a device.

Connection via portview

By running the portview program in the

Utility & Documents CD included in the

SerialGate package, you can dynamically

search all SerialGates on the network and

connect to any of them. (For more

information on portview, please refer to the

Portview manual in the Utility & Documents

CD included in the SerialGate package)

After running portview, click Search button.

You can view the list that is running in your network. Select the module that you would make a

connection to, and click Telnet or Web to connect to the device via Telnet or Web, respectively.

you can modify and apply the IP address of serialgate via this program.

Now, you are ready to connect to SerialGate! There are three options to configure SerialGate.

1) Configuration via Web

A user can easily configure SerialGate with web interface, accessible from any web browser. For more

information, please refer to Chapter 5. Configuration via Web.

2) Configuration via Telnet

A user can configure SerialGate with commands after accessing SerialGate through Telnet. For more

information, please refer to Chapter 6. Configuration via Telnet.

COM Redirector

Use the serial port of SerialGate as a virtual COM port in Windows

2000/XP/2003/Vista.

TCP Server

SerialGate works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection

on the network. Socket number for awaiting connections can be set

in ‘Local socket port’ field. After socket connection, data between

socket and serial port will be transmitted.

TCP Client

SerialGate acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to

the server IP address and the socket number assigned when a

certain server waits for connection on the network.

All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred

untouched after the socket connection is established.

TCP Broadcast

SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous

connections from socket clients. Data transmitted from SerialGate is

broadcast to each socket client.

TCP Multiplex

SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous

connections from socket clients. The difference between TCP

Broadcast and TCP Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket to

communicate exclusively. That is, serial data in response are only

transferred to the sender socket.

UDP Server

SerialGate works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from

the client on the network.

Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local socket

SerialGate User Guide

Menu Default Descriptions

port’ field.

Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the

connection, the data is transmitted to the serial port. The data input

from the serial port is put into UDP packets, which eventually are

sent to the client.

UDP Client

When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent using

the preset IP address and the socket number of the server.

Pair_Master/ Pair_Slave

It extends a serial cable between DTE and DCE to network, and

enables communication not limited to distance. Two devices are

required for this feature and set one to Pair_master and another to

Pair_Slave. It can be used for serial communication tunneling.

MODBUS ASCII

Connect MODBUS/ASCII SLAVE using serial port and make user of

MODBUS/TCP MASTER feature using LAN port in PC. This feature

enables MODBUS media converter function. (Available for

SerialGate-1010/ALL).

Keepalive

Check

Time

After a certain amount of time passes without any communication

after the socket connection between the given serial port and the

server is established, automatically disconnect the socket

connection. Valid from 0 to 32767 sec.

For example, if the operation mode is set to TCP Server and Alive

Check Time is configured to 10, TCP Server will listen for the client’s

connection and eventually establish a connection. Since the check

time is 10 seconds, the server will wait for 10 seconds until the client

connected to it sends any packet. If there is no data for 10 seconds,

server will quit the connection and return to the listening state. This

option is helpful in preventing communication obstacles that occur

when either SerialGate or the client quits unexpectedly (i.e. Sudden

black out, reboot, LAN cable cut, etc.). In these cases, the other part

of communication might not recognize the failure of its partner. Such

misunderstanding can cause communication errors.

If the value is set to 0, this function is disabled. Once connected

socket will be retained until explicitly disconnected.

(Only applies to TCP Client, TCP Server, TCP Broadcast, and TCP

Multiplex operation modes.)

Latency

Time 0

This needs to be set when consecutive data from the given serial

port needs to be transmitted to socket at once.

For example, if 100 bytes of character string are to be transmitted

from the serial device to a server through SerialGate, bypass is set to

0 for the latency time. Although it provides immediate sending

through SerialGate, the server could be received a lot parts of

divided packets.

If the latency time is not 0, SerialGate will wait for the time and check

new data. If there is new data, SerialGate repeatedly wait for the

time. Otherwise, SerialGate will transfer the buffered data, but it

could not run in real time.

Ch. 8 Application

SerialGate can be used in many practical applications in various fields. Here we present some

of them.

Com Port Redirector

With COM Port Redirection, a user can use serial port connected to SerialGate on the network

as if it is a serial port on PC.

Install Com Port Redirector and set the following steps. (For installation, please refer to Com Port

Redirector manual enclosed in CD.

In the picture below, IP address of SerialGate is 192.168.0.247, and the first serial port is being used. A

user can open Com 21 and use serial device connected to SerialGate.

SerialGate User Guide

In order to correspond to the Redirector setting of PC, change the setting in the first serial port of

SerialGate as follows.

TCP_Server (TCP/IP connection from PC to SerialGate)

In PC’s socket program, connect the first serial port of SerialGate.

Since socket number for the first port of SerialGate is default 4001, try to connect to SerialGate’s IP

address and socket number 4001 when connecting from a PC to SerialGate.

As shown below, change the Operation Mode to TCP_Server and confirm the socket number waiting

for connection. .

Check the communication speed of a serial device to be connected to serial port, and set it to Com

Specification.

SerialGate User Guide

TCP_Client (TCP/IP Connection: SerialGate  PC)

Since it is a connection from SerialGate to a PC, change the Operation Mode to TCP_Client and

Check the communication speed of a serial device to be connected to serial port, and set it to Com

Specification.

SerialGate User Guide

Pair (Serial Line To Serial Line)

This structure is mainly used when the cable length between PC and serial device is short so a user

needs to extend the communication distance. This approach consists of two SerialGates connected in

Pair.

Setting for SerialGate 1

In order to perform Master features, change Operation Mode to Pari_Master. Check the

communication speed of a PC and set it in Com Specification, and also register Slave SerialGate’s IP

address and port number in Remort IP/Port.

SerialGate User Guide

Setting for SerialGate 2 In order to wait for Master connection, set Operation Mode to Pari_Slave and

SerialGate User Guide

Ch. 9 Appendix

Troubleshooting

This section describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with

SerialGate.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems

If you cannot access the connected serial device via SerialGate, first check the network

connection and cabling.

 Check the physical cabling to ensure all cables are plugged in (Ethernet and DB-9 se

rial cable)

 If the appropriate LEDs are not illuminated, then there is probably a bad 10baseT or

100baseTX cable, or the hub port is bad. If possible, try a different cable and hub p

ort, or try connecting a different device to the cable.

 Verify that you are using the correct values for both IP Address and Port Number.

 If you are using a hub, verify that the hub port is operating correctly by trying Serial

Gate on a different port.

Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems

 If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and SerialGate are on the sa

me IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. The I

P address you assign to SerialGate must be on the same logical network as your ho

st computers (e.g., if your computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3 and the sub

net mask of 255.255.255.0, SerialGate should have an IP address of 192.189.207.x,

where x is an integer between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure your route

r address to work with SerialGate.

 If your Device Server is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP Address, it is possi

ble that SerialGate’s IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP server to

give SerialGate a permanent lease, or configure SerialGate to be on a STATIC IP ad

dress outside the scope of the DHCP addresses.

SerialGate User Guide

 The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses. Verify that

the IP address is correctly loaded into SerialGate (via the displayed or printed configu

ration information or through the remote console), and make sure that no other nodes

on the network have this address (duplicate addresses are the biggest cause of TCP/

IP connectivity problems). If the IP address is not correct, then check whether the lo

ading procedure was properly executed.

 Also verify that the host computer and SerialGate are using the same subnet masks(f

or example, if SerialGate has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the host must have th

e same subnet mask) or that the router is properly configured to pass data between

the two devices.

 If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for DHCP server, and make s

ure that the server is not set up to load wrong IP addresses into SerialGate.

Troubleshooting Windows Problems

 If you are having trouble accessing the connected serial device through Windows, ens

ure you can ping SerialGate using the command PING x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP

address of SerialGate. If you cannot ping SerialGate, you will not be able to access

the serial device.

 If you are running COM port redirector and the software reports an error, verify that t

he correct virtual COM port is being used when the application runs. Verify that your

application’s COM port settings have been changed to use the virtual COM ports.

Firmware Update using FTP

A user can upload firmware using web browser, FTP, and etc.

1) Connect to SerialGate with FTP, using correct username and password. (Default: serialgate,

99999999)

2) Issue a command ‘bi’ for binary file transfer mode. Optionally use ‘hash’ to see the data

transfer mark.

3) Issue ‘put’ command to upload the firmware file.

4) After getting a ‘Transfer complete’ message, issue a command ‘bye’ to disconnect. Now we

are ready to update the firmware.

SerialGate User Guide

5) Connect to SerialGate via Telnet, using correct username and password. (Default: eddy,

99999999)

6) After the login, you are already at the default directory where the firmware resides. Update

can start right away.

7) Issue a command ‘ls’ to make sure firmware files are both successfully uploaded.

8) Use ‘upgrade’ command to write this file into SerialGate’s Flash memory. Upgrade application

automatically detects whether the given firmware is kernel or file system.

9) Usage: Upgrade <firmware name> (Filename is case-sensitive.)

10) Make sure ‘Flash Write OK’ and ‘Flash Verify OK’ messages are displayed.

11) Enter ‘reboot’ to restart SerialGate. Now SerialGate will run with the new firmware.
