Chapter 1 Introduction
JetPort 5601 is a smart 1-port RS-232/422/485 to Redundant Ethernet Serial Device Server. The
serial interface is configurable in software and supports speed as fast as 921.6kbps. The Dual
Ethernet ports can support RTTD (Redundant to the Device) or connect as Daisy Chain. With
RTTD, the redundant Ethernet ports can auto-recover in less than 200ms if the master link
breaks, as a result guaranteeing a non-stop connection, which provides users the complete
Redundant Ethernet Solution.
JetPort serial device server connects the serial port of devices such as card readers,
measurement devices, or data acquisition terminals, over Ethernet just like locally attached. It
eliminates the limitation of single host and transmission distance of traditional serial
communications by creating access for multiple hosts in Ethernet. The compact size and various
mounting options further create installation flexibility.

Serial to Ethernet Technology Overview
Korenix JetPort serial device servers provide perfect solution to manage serial devices via
Ethernet in flexible ways, such as TCP server, TCP client, UDP, or Windows Real/Virtual COM.
JetPort creates a transparent gateway for the serial communication to Ethernet. If the control
program uses network standard API, you can choose TCP or UDP as the communication
protocol. If the control program uses COM port, you can install the Windows driver to add
Real/Virtual COM ports.

less than 200ms)
Dual Power Inputs by 12-48VDC Terminal Block and 9-30V DC Jack.
Secured Management by HTTPS and SSH.
JetPort Commander, Korenix Windows Utility for Device Discovery, Multiple Device Setting
and Monitoring.
Versatile Serial Modes: Real/Virtual Com, Serial Tunnel, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP
Up to 5 Simultaneous Real/Virtual COM, TCP Server, TCP Client Connections

Reset Button
The Reset button provides users with a quick and easy way to restore the default settings of JetPort.
Press reset button for 10 seconds. JetPort will restore to default value including default IP address
(192.168.10.2), and no password. When the Power LED turns green, the device is ready to function.
Connecting the Power
Terminal Block (PWR1):
1. Insert the positive and negative wires of your DC supply into the V+ and V- contacts of the terminal
block connector.
(GND / V- / V+)
2. Tighten the terminal screws to prevent the DC wires from coming loose.
Power Jack (PWR2):
Connect the power jack input with power adapter. If any need of power adapter, please contact your local
sales representative.
If the power input (PWR 1 or PWR 2) is connected, the power LED will turn green.
Note: If the 2 power inputs are connected (PWR 1, PWR 2), the JetPort 5601 will be powered from the
highest connected voltage. The unit will not alarm for loss of DC IN power, the alarm function only applies
to loss of power at PWR1 or PWR2.
Connecting the Network
Connect the Ethernet cable to the JetPort 5601 10/100M Ethernet port 1, 2 or both. The interfaces
support auto MDI/MDIX. If both of the Ethernet port 1 and 2 are connected when startup device, the
Ethernet port 1 will be the master port, Ethernet port 2 will be the backup. But, if Ethernet port 2 is
attached first before attach port 1, the Ethernet port 2 will remain the master port.

Din-Rail Mounting Installation
Follow these steps to mount the unit to the rail/track.
1. Use a screwdriver to secure the D3in-Rail mounting kit to the ear.
Wall-Mounting Kits.
2. Lightly push the 5601 into the rail/track.
The figures show the 5601 is attached on the rail/track well.
3. To remove the unit from the rail/track, reverse steps 1-3.
Notice: Due to the safety concern, Korenix requests users to vertically mount the 5601 device to the rail
when using the Terminal Block as the power input. Use the certificated power supply, assured power
construction in your factory as the power source.

3. Broadcast the JetPort unit: JetPort Commander will broadcast the network and search all
available JetPort units in the network. The default IP address of JetPort is “192.168.10.2”.
4. Configuring the JetPort unit:
4.1 Click on the JetPort unit and select “Add” for further configuring the unit.
Product Tip: If you have multiple Network Adapters (i.e. wireless and wired), please activate ONLY
ONE Network Adapter that can locate the JetPort devices, and CLOSE the rest Network Adapters.
Otherwise, JetPort Commander may broadcast INCORRECTLY.

“DHCP/BooTP” if you want dynamic configuration for the JetPort unit.
5. Configuring the serial port as COM port:
5.1 Go to “Configuration”, and choose the device and the “port”. Select “Serial Settings” to
configure the serial settings.
Notice: If you choose RS 485(2-wire) interface, for better connection, please Check “Terminal Resistor.”

5.2 Select “Service mode”, “Real/Virtual COM Mode” and press “Map COM” to map the port to
the COM port.
Congratulations! You have finished JetPort configurations with Real/Virtual COM mode. You can also
use web or telnet console by the JetPort IP address.
Note: This document shows you how to quick setup the software. The full functions
and configurations’ description, please refer to the JetPort Commander Manual

Chapter 4 Web and Telnet Console
In addition to Windows utility, JetPort 5601 can also be managed by Web-HTTPS and the SSH
Console.
The HTTPS is a security protocol that provides communication privacy over the internet. The
HTTPs packets transmitted between the JetPort and PC would be encrypted.
The SSH allows users to securely login to remote host computers, to execute commands safely
in a remote computer, to securely copy remote files and to provide secure encrypted and
authenticated communications between two non-trusted hosts.
