Series 2000 NetPlus™ Router
Overview
The Series 2000 NetPlus Router allows you to connect multiple
networks of I/NET controllers over any 10MBPS Ethernet local
area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) using TCP/IP
transport protocols. Individual controller LANs are still limited
to the 5000-foot (1500 m) maximum cable length (25,000
feet/7500 meters with repeaters).
For a full description of the installation and operating
procedures for this product, refer to TCON184, NetPlus Router
Installation Guide or TCON207, I/NET 2000 Operator Guide .
Installing the Wall Bracket (Optional)
1. Install the mounting screws on the desired surface,using the
keyhole mounting pattern shown in Figure 1.
2. Slide the router into the bracket with the BOTTOM of the
router facing the BACK of the bracket (where the mounting
keyholes are). The open sides of the bracket allow access to
both the front and rear panels of the router.
3. Hang the bracket (with installed router) onto the screws
installed in Step 1.
Note: The installation diagrams show the horizontal (tabletop)
orientation for all connectors. Once installed in the
bracket, the router will be rotated by 90 degrees.
Connecting the Power
The NetPlus Router has two different power connections
available. Each model will have only one of these connections.
115/230 VAC Power
The 115/230 VAC power connector automatically detects the
input voltage (115 or 230).
Note: Apply firm pressure to ensure that the plug is fully seated.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended to
protect buffered messages in case of power outage.
12–24 V Power
The 12–24 V power connector at TB1 can be used for either AC
or DC power at 12–24 volts.
Grounding
It is important that the NetPlus Router be connected to a good
earth ground. For models using 115/230 VAC power, the center
post of the AC power cord provides an adequate ground. For
models using 12–24 V AC or DC, the unit must be grounded
through terminal 3 (right post) of TB1.

Connecting a Local Workstation
The local workstation is attached at connector port P1. Use a
standard RS232 cable with a 9-pin connector for the router side,
and either a 9-pin or 25-pin connector for the PC side
(depending on your COM port hardware).
Note: For the initial installation, you must use a computer that
is NOT connected to a network (LAN/WAN) or an
I/NET controller LAN. Failure to follow this protocol can
result in communication problems on the connected
equipment, beginning at the time of connection.
Configuring the NetPlus Router
The configuration utility is called “INET Configuration”
( INETCFG.EXE ) in your I/NET 2000 program group. This
section discusses only those portions of the configuration
pertaining to the NetPlus Router. For information on setting up
configuration profiles and host masks, refer to TCON213, I/NET
2000 Getting Started , or TCON2 07, I/NET 2000 Operator Guide .
Before connecting the NetPlus Router to the I/NET controller
LAN or Ethernet LAN, you must enter its unique IP address
and I/NET address assignment, as well as other configuration
parameters. It is very important to ensure that no two devices
have the same IP or I/NET link addresses.
1. Select the
INET Configuration
icon in the I/NET 2000
program group on your workstation. The location of this
icon will vary, depending on the options selected when the
program was installed.
If I/O Server is running, you can launch this program by
double-clicking on the I/O Server icon (blinking rectangle)
in the system tray of your taskbar.
2. Select the
NP Routers
button. The NetPlus Router
Summary screen will appear.
3. Activate ( ) the
Online
checkbox.
4. Select the NetPlus Router from the list box and click the
Modify
button. The NetPlus Router Configuration screen
will appear.
5. Enter the unique Name for the NPR, up to 16 characters.
Only letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) symbol are
allowed in machine names. Spaces, underscores, and other
characters may NOT be used.
6. Enter the unique IP (Internet Protocol)
Address
for this
unit. This information should be provided by your network
system administrator.
Note: A static (“fixed”) IP address is required. I/NET 2000 does
not currently support dynamic IP addressing.
7. Enter the
Subnet mask
for your facility. This information
should be supplied by your network system administrator.
8. Enter your network (internet or intranet)
Domain name
.
This field is not required for a private network.
9. Enter the IP address for the
Gateway
or network IP router
for your LAN/WAN system (the network router, NOT the
NetPlus Router). This information should be supplied by
your network system administrator. This field is not
required if you do not have a TCP/IP network router.
10. Enter the IP address(es) for up to eight Reference Hosts .
a. Select an entry in the Reference Hosts list box and click
Modify
, or double-click on the entry. The IP Address
screen, shown in Figure 8, will appear.

b. Enter the IP address of the reference host and select the
OK
button. You will return to the configuration screen.
You cannot enter a duplicate IP address.
11. If your network is running Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), you may configure the NetPlus Router to
send a block of information (a “trap”) to a specific machine
(the “trap host”) when a specific event occurs.
a. Enter the machine name of the SNMP trap host in the
SNMP Name
field.
b. Enter the IP address of the SNMP trap host in the
SNMP Address field.
12. Enter the I/NET
Link
(LL) address (0–99) for the NetPlus
Router. This assigns the NPR a system link number on the
I/NET system. Each device (NPR and workstation) on the
I/NET system must have a unique link address.
13. Enter the I/NET
Controller LAN
(SS) address (0–63) for the
NetPlus Router. This assigns the NPR a station address on
the controller LAN connected at port P4. Each device (NPR,
Tap, and DCU) on the controller LAN must have a unique
station address.
14. Select the
Network connection
used for your network
connection, either RJ45 or AUI (refer to Figure 9 below).
15. Select
OK
to accept the entries and return to the NetPlus
Router Summary screen, or
Cancel
to exit without saving
the changes.
16. Select
Close
to exit the summary screen.
17. Select
Close
to exit the I/NET Configuration program.
Connecting to the Network
Note: You must complete the configuration steps before
connecting the NetPlus Router to the Network.
The NetPlus Router offers two types of network connectors:
RJ45 and AUI. Only one of these connections can be used at a
time.
Connecting to the I/NET Controller LAN
Note: You must complete the configuration steps before
connecting the NetPlus Router to the Controller LAN.
The NetPlus Router connects to the I/NET controller LAN
through TB4. Only the A block (lower half) is used for controller
LAN connections (see Figure 10).
1. Connect the positive line to position 1 of the appropriate
terminal block.
2. Connect the negative line to position 2 of the appropriate
terminal block.
3. Twist shield wires together at each device (controller, Tap
and router) on the controller LAN, and connect to a good
earth ground at one location only . Ensure that shield wire
continuity is maintained across the controller LAN.
Note: Although the polarity of the RS485 connection is not
critical for the NetPlus Router, it is recommended that
you observe the polarity convention shown in Figure 10
(the positive line connected to pin 1, and the negative line
to pin 2). This will help ensure consistent voltage
measurements should troubleshooting become necessary.

• RAM contents are retained in the event of a power outage, as
long as the backup battery has power.When the battery power
is depleted, the RAM contents are cleared. Battery backup is
good for a minimum of 72 hours, and can typically last up to
seven days.
• The backup battery must be fully charged in order to provide
the full span of backup power. Due to normal discharge
during product storage and shipment, the battery may not be
fully charged immediately following installation and power-
up. You must allow the unit to operate continuously for a
minimum of seven days (168 hours) before depending on
battery backup.
