1-3. Overview
SI-60F/SI-60X/SI-60 are communication converters to convert asynchronous
communication of serial interface to TCP/IP communications on Ethernet LAN. SI-60/
SI-60F convert one port of RS-232C and SI-60X converts two ports of RS-232C. These
converters have built-in Lantronix XPort at the LAN interface part. You can control
the device which has a serial port from a PC on the network by socket communication.
By using COM port redirector, which is included in the CD-ROM, you can use it like
com port communication. It is also possible to extend the serial line without PC by
connecting the two devices by LAN.

3-4. SI-60 Power Source
There are two ways to supply power to SI-60.
Supply by AC
1. Connect the plug of the AC adapter to the DC jack (DC-IN) of SI-60.
2. Plug the AC adapter to an AC outlet to supply power.
Please use appropriate AC adapter which complies with the power specication and safety
standards of the country in which you use SI-60.
Model Power specication Safety standards
VFN-650B AC 100V ± 15%, 50/60 Hz PSE
6A-181WP09 AC 90 - 264 V, 50/60 Hz PSE/UL/CUL/GS/CCC/CE
* Power consumption when using an AC adapter “VFN-650B” is about 4.2VA (for SI-60).
Supply by RS-232C connector
1. Prepare DC source of 5 - 12V (DC 5 - 9V is recommended), 4W or more.Note:
Current consumption of SI-60 is up to 250mA regardless of supply voltage. External
source of lower voltage is recommended. Because the more voltage is, the more
power consumption and heat tend to be.
2. Process a RS-232C cable and connect the 9th pin of the RS-232C connector with
the plus pole of the external source and connect the 7th pin with the minus pole of
the source.
When powered by a PoE supported hab (SI-60P).
Power the unit by using LAN cable and a hub which supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af or
IEEE 802.3at). By the hub SI-60P is regarded as a PD (Powered device) of Class 1 (0.44
– 3.84W).

Chapter 4 SI-60X Usage
4-1. SI-60X Overview and Features
SI-60X converts two ports of asynchronous communications of RS-232C interface to TCP/
IP or UDP/IP communications on Ethernet LAN. Having WiPortNR as its LAN interface, SI-
60X oers access to two RS-232C ports through two local ports of IP addresses set on SI-
60X. SO-60X has a switch to initialize it to factory default setting (INTI SW), which helps
when you cannot nd out the IP address etc. SI-60X is suitable when two devices of RS-
232C interface are nearby and you need to convert the communication data of the devices
into LAN.
*For further detail about conguration and IP address setting, please refer to chapter 5, 6,

4-3. SI-60X Cable Connection
LAN
Connect to the LAN connector of SI-60X with a LAN cable of category 5 or more.
[ 5-1. Connection to the Networok ]
RS-232C
SI-60X has two Dsub9 pin(male) of DTE specication.
Connect by a proper RS-232C cable which ts to the RS-232C connector of the target device.
Please make sure of the input/output specication of signal pins.
e.g.1: To connect the serial port (Dsub9 pin - male) of SI-60X with a device (Dsub25 pin,
female) of DCE specication, use straight connection cable such as SI-RS259. (SI-
RS259 cable is an optional cable.)
Set DTE/DCE switch to DTE.
e.g.2: To connect the serial port (Dsub9 pin - male) of SI-60X with a device (DSUB9pin,
male) of DTE specication, use cross connection cable which has ends of
DSUB9pin (female).
4-4. SI-60X Power Source
There are two ways to supply power to SI-60.
Supply by AC
1. Connect the plug of the AC adapter to the DC-IN1 jack of SI-60X.
2. Plug the AC adapter to an AC outlet to supply power.
Please use appropriate AC adapter which complies with the power specication and safety
standards of the country in which you use SI-60X.
Model Power specication Safety standards
VFN-650B AC 100V ± 15%, 50/60 Hz PSE
6A-181WP09 AC 90 - 264 V, 50/60 Hz PSE/UL/CUL/GS/CCC/CE
Power supply by branch cable
When you place two SI-60Xs nearby, you can supply
power to SI-60X with an AC adapter by using an
optional power branch cable (LAH-2XH). To do this,
please use 6A-181WP09 (AC adapter) because it has
ample output capacity.
AC Adapter
Converter1 Converter 2
Power branch cable
Supply by DC
1. Prepare external DC source of 5 - 30V, 1.5W or more.
*Current consumption of SI-60X is as follows: 250mA (when DC is 5V), 100mA (when
DC is 12V), 45mA (when DC is 30V)
2. Connect the DC-IN2 of SI-60X with the output terminal of the external source by using
optional power cable (such as LAH-15XH). It does not matter + or – because the DC-
IN2 is non-polar.
*A connector of the cable which ts in the DC-IN2 is as follows: XHP-2 (JST Mfg.
Co., Ltd.) and SXH-001T-P0.6 (crimp contact, JST Mfg. Co., Ltd.). Please use
appropriate crimp tools when you make a cable by yourself.

Chapter 5 Basic Conguration
5-1. Connect to the LAN network
Connect LAN connector of converter to the HAB/PC using LAN cable.
LAN Cable
HUB
LAN Cable(Cross Cable)
*This converter does not have AutoMDI/MDI-X function to nd the LAN port. To
connect LAN port of PC directly, use the LAN cable with cross connection.
* Try to use a short LAN cable when concerning the noise.
5-2. Basic conguration
Conguration can be set from following procedure.
Set through network using Web browser
Input the IP address in the Web browser of the PC, and set from the Web
manager.
Refer to "Chapter 6".
Use set-up mode
Connect the converter by serial/telnet connection, and then open the set-up mode.
(For serial connection, input the special command after turning on the power to enter into
the set-up mode. Use "RS-232C port 1" for SI-60X.)
Refer to [ XPort User Guide (XPort_UG.pdf) ] and [ WiPort NR User Guide
(WiPort-NR_UG.pdf) ] in the CD-ROM.
If entering the incorrect IP address, it may aect the whole network. To use it
properly, consult with your network manager. Please write down the important
conguration in case of resetting.
IP Address .....................[ . . . ]
Subnet Mask..................[ . . . ]
Default Gateway............[ . . . ]
Above information and passward are necessary to reset the device.
If loosing those, the device may need to be repaired.

17
5-3. Default IP address
As a factory setting, DHCP client mode and AutoIP function automatically set IP address.
* When the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (factory setting), those functions are valid. When IP
address is 0.0.1.0, only DHCP client function is valid.
When having DHCP server in the network
IP address is automatically set from the DHCP server when turning on the power
of device.
When not having DHCP server in the network
One of the IP addresses of "169.254.1.0" to "169.254.254.255" is automatically set by the
AutoIP function when turning on the power of device.
Refer to "Chapter 5.4"
5-4. Usage of DeviceInstaller
Install the DeviceInstaller of Lantronix for setting the IP address.
Preparation: Log to the PC as administrator. If you had already installed the previous
version of DeviceInstaller, uninstall it.
*If you would like to use the converter with XPort rmware Ver.1.8, used the previous
version of DeviceInstaller. The latest XPort rmware is displayed as "Unknown:x5"
or "Unknown:x9".
1 Double click on "setup_di_x86x64cd_4.4.0.4.exe" in the "/lantronix/DeviceInstaller/
ver4.4.x.x" folder. If you nd the latest version in the CD-ROM, use the latest
version.
2 Install it following the wizard.
* OS for DeviceInstaller(v4.4.x.x): Windows x86: 7, 8/8.1, 10
Windows x64: 7, 8/8.1, 10, Server 2008/2012
* If the PC is connected to the Internet,".NET Framework" is automatically installed.
Refer to the "Release.txt" le in the CD-ROM for information of ".NET Framework"
version.
