10-pin Terminal Blocks: This pluggable ter inal blocks integrates 4
digital input and 4 digital output I/O lines (CMOS/TTL Level). Its pin
assign ent as the following table. The +5V pin functions as either
INPUT or OUTPUT, if DC Jack is powered, it si ply copies the +5V
fro the DC jack and works as +5V OUTPUT. If the DC Jack is
unconnected, it can be powered by this pin with +5V input
power.
Switch to Restore Default Settings: This switch can be used to reset
the product to its factory default settings. Press the switch by
either a pen or si ilar tool will restore the default settings
i ediately.

DC Jack Power Connector: A 5V/2A AC adapter is supplied with
this product.
RJ45 Ethernet Connector: 10/100Mbps Ethernet port. It supports
auto cross-over feature. You can use the sa e cable to connect
to either a Hub/Switch or a host co puter.
LED Indicators: There are 2 LAN LEDs on the rear panel. They are
described as the following table:
LED Name Color LED Function
Link/Activity
Green Steady on: Linked. Blinking: Transferring data
10/100Mbps
A ber Steady on: Linked in 100Mbps ode. Off: Linked in 10Mbps ode.
1. Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Re ove possible static discharge potential fro any objects that
the Adapter ay co e in contact with before installation. This
can be acco plished by touching a bare etal chassis rail after
you have turned off the power.
2. Attached the power adapter. +5V DC power needs to be
connected to either the DC jack or the Terminal Blocks but not
simultaneously. Once the power is connected to the DC jack
the +5V power will output to the 10-pin Terminal Blocks
immediately. So it is not allowed to connect any power to the
Terminal Blocks if the DC jack is connected to a 5V AC power
adapter.
3. Connecting LAN cable: Use a standard straight-through Ethernet
cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. If you connect the
Adapter to your co puter’s Ethernet port instead, you don’t
need to change to a cross-over type cable since the Adapter
provides auto cross-over feature.
4. Connect the Adapter’s DI and DO pins to your devices.
5. Use the Wall or DIN RAIL mounting Kit (optional) if you want to
place the product on the industrial DIN RAIL.

Setting IP Address
Please consult your Network Ad inistrator to deter ine the
appropriate IP address for the Adapter. The IP address can be set in
any of the following ways:
Auto atically fro a DHCP Server
Web Browser
Ethernet Managing utility (E .exe supplied by this product)
This Adapter co es with a factory installed static fixed IP address
192.168.1.254. It is unable to accept a new IP address fro a DHCP
Server by factory default (with DCHP client set to Disable). If your
network has a DHCP server and you want it to assign IP address to this
Adapter, you need to enable this Adapter’s DCHP client setting (refer
to the following sections). After that, the Adapter will send a DHCP
request to the DHCP server, which will assign a dyna ic IP address,
net ask, and gateway to the Adapter the first ti e it is connected
and powered up.
1. Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server
A DHCP server will auto atically assign an IP address (dyna ic
address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to this Adapter. If
you power up the Adapter without a fixed (static) IP address,
the DHCP server will be able to assign an IP address (Note: the
default setting is Disable DHCP, if you want to support DCHP,
please Enable it first.).
If you want to set the IP address using another ethod, the
address beco es static. This was done when you Disable the
DHCP setting (default) in the Setup Menu of the Adapter.

2. Setting the IP address using Web Browser
Please ake sure your PC’s IP address is set at the sa e subnet
of the Adapter. If not, you usually need to change your PC’s IP
address fro “Local Area Connection Properties”, here is an
exa ple to show you how to change your PC’s IP address:

Run your browser and access the Adapter by entering the
default (192.168.1.254) or current IP address into your browser’s
address window. Enter the password (default has no password).
Then go to change your IP address as well other para eters if
required.
3. Setting the IP address using Em.exe Utility
The E .exe is a Microsoft Windows based utility to find all the
Adapters connected on the sa e subnet and network seg ent.
To run the E .exe utility, please insert the driver CD supplied
with the Adapter. Open (double click) the progra at the
following location (assu e the CD-ROM drive is at E):

E:\IO_over_IP\Utilities\Em\Em.exe
Note: If the Setup Menu does not appear after double-
clicked the listed ite on the above screen, you ay need to
disable your firewall or the anti-virus software then try again.
4. The Adapter Settings
When you entered Setup Menu of the Adapter, the following page
will be available for your access. Please click Update button after you
changing any settings. Re e ber and record your password for the
future use. You need it to enter this Setup Menu next ti e.
Double-click here will
go to the Setup Menu

This section will introduce so e exa ples to control the DIO lines of
this Adapter. We are using a Ter inal E ulation Progra (such as
HyperTer or TeraTer ) to send control strings over the TCP/IP socket
port.
HyperTer is a Windows based utility for Windows XP or earlier version.
However, it is not bundled in Vista or later Windows version.
As shown in the HyperTer exa ples, the application software can
read or write the string (in ASCII code for at) on the TCP/IP socket
port to check or change the Adapter’s state.
