Overview
E-P132-X TCP/IP converter is designed to make your serial devices Internet ready
instantly. ARM-7 Series of E-P132-X TCP/IP converter makes them the ideal
choice for connecting your RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial devices—such as PLCs,
meters, and sensors to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for your
software to access serial devices anywhere and anytime over a local LAN or the
Internet.
ARM-7 Series converter ensures the compatibility of network software that uses a
standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP Server Mode,
TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. ARM-7 Series’ Virtual COM driver, software that
works with COM port can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no time. This
excellent feature preserves your software investment and lets you enjoy the benefits
of networking your serial devices instantly.
ARM-7 Series converter supports manual configuration via the handy web browser
console and many protocols including TCP, IP, UDP, HTTP, DHCP, ICMP, and ARP. It
is the best solution to network your serial devices.

Block Diagram
Low-cost devices usually are equipped with low speed processors and limited
memories. In reality, they are neither having the capability nor practicality to manage
complicated network TCP/IP protocols. ARM-7 Series is a low cost while providing
high performance network solution by converting data stream between network
TCP/IP and popular serial port signals. In stead of processing TCP/IP packets
directly, devices need only deal with those interface signals, which greatly simplifies
the complexity of TCP/IP network in linkage.

Power Supply
The E-P132-X TCP/IP converter is powered by a single 9 ～12V DC(Inner
positive/outer negative) power supply and 500mA of current. A suitable power
supply adapter is part of the packaging. Connect the power line to the power outlet
at the left side of E-P132-X TCP/IP converter and put the adapter into the socket. If
the power is properly supplied, the “SYS” red color LED will be blink each time in
one second.

When you finish the steps mentioned above and the LED indicators are as shown,
the converter is installed correctly. You can use the Setup Tool “ETM.exe” to
setup the IP Address.
To proceed the advanced parameters setup, please use a web browser (IE or
Netscape) to continue the detailed settings.

Converter Configuration
Initial IP Configuration
When setting up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do
configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the
device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings, see “Web
Console Configuration”. in next sub section.
For quick setup of converter , We suggest you to reference “Quick
Installation Guide” manual.

Device Management Utility
On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named ETM.exe which is an
executable program in Windows 32 bit environments. ETM Setup Tool is used to
detect and setup the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast packets to query
and configure converters on the network.
When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed converters
and depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet Mask, MAC Address,
and Device ID (see Figure 3.1).
If your computer OS is Windows XP version which means “WINDOWS Firewall”
function in OS is activated. However ETM.exe wouldn’t detect the converter’s IP
address, therefore, You have to temperately disable “WINDOWS Firewall” function.
After finishing the parameters settings, You can restart “WINDOWS Firewall”
function.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, ETM has following characteristics:
□
□
□Broadcast packets aren’t limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the
converters and the computer running ETM do not belong to the same subnet, it still
works fine.
□
□
□Broadcast packets can not pass routers. ETM can only be used to monitor
devices with computer running ETM in the same segment of local area network
.
