Chapter 1: Function Introduction
1.1FunctionOverview
SICOM3171 serial server is a communication interface protocol converter which realizes
dataconversionfromRS232/422/485terminaltoTCP/IPnetwork.
SICOM3171 serial server provides 4 full‐function RS232/422/485 serialportswithRJ45
connectors, one 10/100Mbps self‐adaptive Ethernet port, Reset button,realtimeclock
(RTC),SSH,SSL/TLSetc.
Serial server supports TCP/UDP Server mode and TCP/UDP Client mode,
RS232/RS485/RS422mode,5,6,7,8databit,1,2stopbit;andsupportparityand noparity,
xon/xoffsoftwareflowcontrol..
Itsbuilt‐inembeddedLinuxoperationsystemanditscompleteTCP/IP communication
protocolcanprovidebidirectionaltransparentdatatransmissionbetweenRS‐232/422/485
terminalandTCP/IPnetwork.
SICOM3171uses10pin‐RJ45serialport.Hardwareinterfacewiringisasfollows:

Chapter 2: Configuration and Application of Serial
Server
2.1ChannelConfiguration
Serialservercanbeembeddedintodevicesandconvertfour‐channelserialdatatoTCP/IP
protocolpacketsandconnecttoEthernet.TCP/IPprotocolsupportsconnection‐basedTCP
protocol and connectionless‐based UDP protocol simultaneously, sothatanyPCinthe
networkcancontrolserialdevicesandsharetheinformationofserialdevices. 
UsercanusetheEthernetportinserialservertoTelnetorWEBlogintheservertosetthe
serialserverIPaddressandworkingmode.Beforeusingserialserver,usershouldobtainthe
uniqueIPaddressforremotesettingandnormalworking.
SICOM3171serialserverhasoneEthernetport.Thefactorydefaultsettingsofserialserver:
IPaddressis192.168.0.3andsubnetmaskis255.255.255.0
2.1.1TelnetConfiguration
Firstly,usecross‐overcableorstraight‐throughcabletoconnecttheEthernetport(ETH)in
serialserverwithuser’sPCnetworkcard.Inthe“Operation”wi n dow of W i n do w s  s y s t e m  o r
