2.2. DESCRIPTION
The ADA-14110 wireless serial server transmits data between devices equipped with the RS232 interface via the wireless network
WLAN. The data transmission is without the interference into the format of transmitted data. The operating in the Wi-Fi WLAN wireless
network can be in the virtual serial port mode (port server), MODBUS Data Gateway, TCP and UDP serial bridge, TCP and UDP
socked. The MODBUS Data Gateway converts protocols MODBUS-RTU master/slave and MODBUS-ASCII master/slave to MODBUS-
TCP protocol and reverse. It lets to integrate devices MODBUS-RTU/ASCII with MODBUS-TCP devices in one network. ADA-14110
supports protocols such as: TCP, UDP, DHCP, SNMP, SSL/TLS, Telnet, Rlogin, LPD, HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP. The
server has WWW server for remote configuration and management by the use of internet browser and has the baud rate up to
230,4kbps.
This device has standard DB-9M (male) connector for RS232 interface, screw terminal block for connection of power supply and SMA
for aerial Wi-Fi network. ADA-14110 use signals as follow: Rx, Tx, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD of RS232 interface and to this interface
can be connected telephone switchboards, barcode scanners, modems, scales, magnetic card readers, etc.
It is adapted to supply an external voltage source in scope from 10V= to 30V= and 4W power. The server has protection against
power supply reverse connection and ESD 15kV short-circuit protection and surge on RS232 interface lines.
The range of transmission in the wireless network Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) :
- in buildings from 30m to 150m,
- in open area to 300m,
The transmission range can be increased after the application of additional directional antennas.
ADA-14110 is sold with drivers, which after installation, create in operating system additional COM port on the next free number e.g.
COM3. It can be use as standard COM port but it isn't hardware port but virtual, create in Windows system. This is the reason why
some applications running in DOS and use this port, can operate improperly.

via Wi-Fi network, by the use client and server TCP/UDP services.
2.3.2. COMMUNICATIONS IN THE VIRTUAL SERIAL PORT MODE (RealPort)
Communication in the virtual serial port mode allows an application (SCADA, MMI) to transfer data to the serial port of ADA-14110 via
Wi-Fi network, by the use virtual COM port, created in an operating system.
2.3.3. COMMUNICATIONS IN THE SERIAL BRIDGE MODE
Communication in the serial bridge mode allows to transfer data via Wi-Fi network between serial ports of the servers port in one-to-
one topology or one-to-many by the use client and server TCP/UDP services.
2.3.4. COMMUNICATIONS IN THE INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION MODE (Modbus Gate ay)
Communication in the MODBUS Gateway (IA) mode allows to convert MODBUS-RTU master/slave protocol and MODBUS-ASCII
master/slave protocol to MODBUS-TCP protocol and inversely. It's let to integrate MODBUS-RTU/ASCII devices with MODBUS-TCP
devices in a single network.
2.3.5. OTHER COMMUNICATION TYPES

2.4. ISOLATION
The ADA-14110 has not the galvanic isolation or has 2-way, 1kV= or 3kV= galvanic isolation (depend on version, described in section
VERSIONS).
Fig. 3. Isolation diagram
3. INSTALLATION
This chapter will show how to connect the ADA-14110 to RS232 bus, Wi-Fi wireless network (WLAN) and power supply and how to
use it.
To reduce disturbance from environment, it is recommended to:
–use multipair type shielded cables, which shield can be connected to the earthing on one end of the cable,
–use the suitable diameter cable for power supply on account of voltage drop,
–use the powering cable with a suitable section because of the voltage drops,
–use the interference eliminators for powering the converter,
–lay signal cables at a distance of not less than 25 cm away from power cables,
–not powering the converters form the power-circuit of devices generate large impulse disturbance like contactors, relays, inverters.

5. CONFIGURATION
The ADA-14110 Wireless Serial Server like most of network devices should be configured for proper functioning, it's needed
configuration of network services and network setting.
Below are described the stages of software installation and network setting configuration of converter.
5.1. INITIAL CONFIGURATION USING ADAFINDER SOFTWARE
5.1.1. ADAFINDER INSTALLATION
The initial configuration of wireless Wi-Fi (WLAN) network setting at the ADA-14110 can be made by using ADAFinder or ADAWiz
software. The installation is automatically after insert the CD (compact disc) to an optical drive. If the autorun doesn't start, should run
the file setup.exe located in main CD catalogue. After installation the software ADAFinder and ADAWiz are available in Start-
>Programs->CEL-MAR->ADANet.
Before running ADA Finder software should be set the option [Obtain an IP address automatically] in TCP/IP protocol configuration
of Wi-Fi network adapter - it let find the Wireless Serial Server in WLAN network. Run ADAFinder software.
5.1.2. NETWORK SETTING
The ADAFinder is use for configuration of the Serial Server's network setting.
Before running the ADAFinder should be disabled the System FireWall!
After running, the program is searching local network (LAN , WLAN) and if find the ADA-14110, will add them to the list of available
port servers [Devices:] Fig.13.
To change the network setting of ADA-14110, should:
–select the converter from the list [Devices:] and press [Configure IP Settings],
–in windows [Set IP Address] select option 'Automatically obtain net ork settings via DHCP' (default setting) or 'Manually
configure network setting'. In case of manual configuration should be enter IP Address of the converter, Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway and the Password (default: dbps) of the ADA-14110 administrator for authorization of changes.
–press [Apply], the configuration will be saved to the serial server and will restart. After message 'Operation made successfully',
press [Refresh List] in ADAFinder window. After re-searching the lists of available port servers [Devices:] will be refreshed.
Other buttons of the program main menu:
–selecting the serial server from the list and pressing [Reboot Device], will make programmable reset – new configuration of
network setting will be activated,
–selecting the serial server from the list and pressing [Device Information], will show a window information about the settings,
–selecting the serial server from the list and pressing [Open Web Interface], will run Internet browser and open the configuration
page of the serial server.
