4-1. SI-65 Overview and Features
SI-65 is a communication converter to convert asynchronous communications for
devices equipped with the RS-422/485 interface to TCP/IP communications on Ethernet
LAN. Since the converter supports both two-wire and four-wire full duplex, using the
device allows you to support various systems.
The following chart shows the internal structure of the converter.
Line Monitoring Function
RS-485 communications of two-wire half duplex is required to send data after
conrming that any devices have not sent data into the RS-485 line. The line monitoring
function allows to detect that any devices have not sent data into the RS-485 line, and
to conduct the ow control. To use this function, the ow control of built-in XPort is
required to set to CTS/RTS (Hardware).
RS-485 Line Condition Flow Control Condition
The period of time from when to detect a space bit of the
data in the RS-485 line sent by another device, to when
not to get to continuously detect a space bit over internal
timer time of the converter, while the RS-485 driver of the
converter is not active.
Prohibits sending data
from the converter to
the RS-485 circuit.
The period of time when not to detect a space bit in the
RS-485 line which another device continuously sends over
internal timer time of the converter, or when the RS-485
driver of the converter is active.
Permits to send data

SW-B No1 (Line Mode)
Selects the RS-422/485 line specication which is connected to the converter.
OFF (Full Duplex) Setting
This setting makes the converter operate in the full duplex RS-422 mode.
Communicated data is sent from SD+ and SD- terminals, and is received to SD/
RD+ and SD/RD- terminals.
ON (Half Duplex) Setting
This setting makes the converter operate in the half duplex RS-485 mode.
Communicated data is sent and received through SD/RD+ and SD/RD- terminals.
SW-B No.2 (Echo Back Setup)
Selects the echo back specication for the half duplex RS-485 mode.
OFF(Echo Back)
Echo back the data which is sent from the converter to the RS-485 line. The full
duplex RS-422 mode does not echo back data even when this switch is in the OFF
setting.
ON(No Echo Back)
When you communicate in the half duplex RS-485 mode, setting this switch to ON
prohibits the data, which is sent from the converter to the RS-485 line, is echoed back to
the LAN host. Therefore, while the driver is active, the ON setting makes the receiver
non-active.
Note: Be sure to set this switch to OFF in the full duplex RS-422 mode.
SW-B No.3 (Terminal End Between SD+ and SD-)
Setting this switch to ON inserts the terminator 100 ohm between SD+ and SD- (terminal
block 1, 2) in a direction of parallel.
SW-B No.4 (Terminal End Between SD/RD+ and SD/RD-)
Setting this switch to ON inserts the terminator 100 ohm between SD/RD+ and SD/
RD- (terminal block 3, 4) in a direction of parallel.

<Transfer Distance>
The faster communication speed is, the shorter the
transfer distance for RS-422/485 is. See the right table
and set communication speed following the actual
distance.
Also, the maximum of the actual communication
speed changes depending on conditions: environments
like noise, cable features used, etc. For actual use, be
sure to conduct a communication test to check.
Distance (m) Speed (bps)
100 to 920k
200 to 230.4k
600 to 115.2k
1200 to 57.6k

4-5. SI-65 Power Source
Supply power to the converter in either of two ways.
AC adapter
Supplies power by plugging the included AC adapter or the optional AC adapter
into the AC adapter plug on the converter. The AC adapter of Japanese model is
for the use in Japan only. Please do not exceed the input voltage rate. To use the
products abroad, an optional AC adapter is available.
Connection Plug: Outer diameter is 5.5mm. Inner diameter is 2.1mm. Length
of top of the plug is 9.5+0.3mm. (Possible to use both center plus and center
minus plug.)
Terminal block
Supplies DC+5 to +12V (4W) from 6 pin of 6 pole terminal block.
4-6. SI-65 Built-in XPort Setup
Depending on network environments used or the usage, built-in XPort setup of the
converter is required to change. To learn about XPort setup, read [Chapter 5 Basic
Conguring Tasks ]and [Chapter 6 Conguration Using Web Manager ]
In addition, when using the COM port redirector, read [ Chapter 8 COM Port
Redirector]

Chapter 5 Basic Conguring Tasks
5-1. Connection to the Networok
To set the products from the PC via LAN cable, use the cross cable for directly
connecting to the PC. And, use the straight cable when using the HUB (etc.) to
connect to the PC.

5-2.Basic Set-Up Tasks
Depending on network environments used or the usage, you can use the following
procedures remotely or locally:
Congure the unit over the network by using Web Manager
To congure the unit over the network, enter the IpAddress of SI60/65/60F to
Web browser and use web manager.
For more details refer to [Chapter 6 Conguration Using Web Manager ]
Conguration via Telnet or Serial Port
Use a Telnet connection to congure the unit over the network or use a terminal or
terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally.
( IF you congure the unit through a serial connection, reset the XPort unit by cycling the
unit's power (turning the power off and back on). Immediately upon resetting the device,
enter three lowercase x characters (xxx).)
For more details , refer to XPort user’s manual(XPort_UG.pdf ) in the CD-
ROM.
When you allot IP address, please contact the network administrator and do it
with consideration for the condition of the network and the purpose of the use.
If you connect the devise to the network with improper conguration (IP address
e.g.), it may affect whole the network. Thus, please make a note of following
contents by contacting the network administrator.
IP Address .....................[ . . . ]
Subnet Mask..................[ . . . ]
Default Gateway............[ . . . ]
Please note that you may not be able to congure again in case you disconnect
the power during the process of conguration or forget the password you set.
This will need repair.

19
5-3. IP Address Assignment
Before using the converter, you need to assign IP address to the built-in XPort.
There are some IP address assignment methods. Assign by the proper method,
concerning the usage and environments, and consulting with your network manager.
* When the conguration of the IP Address of XPort (built-in) is 0.0.0.0 (factory
setting), these functions will be Enable. In case of 0.0.1.0, only the DHCP Client
function will be Enable.
Using the DHCP Function
When the DHCP function is valid, XPort receives IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway address, which were dynamically assigned by DHCP server on the
network, at the time of starting XPort operation.
Using the AutoIP Function
When AutoIP function is valid and there is no DHCP server on the network, XPort
selects an IP address within the class B subnet 169.254.x.x, at the time of starting
XPort operation. And it uses the ARP request to check whether or not any devices
on the network use the address.
If it is not used, the address will be used as the XPort address. If it is used, XPort
selects another IP address from the reserved addresses, and check it again by the
ARP request.
[ 5-4.DeviceInstaller Usage] [ 9-1. Built in XPort ]
5-4. DeviceInstaller Usage
The CD-ROM contains a utility "Device Installer" to assign the IP address.
"Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0" or ".NET Framework 4.0" are needed for some
version of the Device Installer.
When you use this device concurrently with a device which has XPort of
older rmware (v1.8 or older), please use the DeviceInstaller which was used
for the device of the older rmware.
In this case, XPort device of the current rmware will be shown as
"(Unknown:x9)".
Note
To install, login to a PC in administrator rights and follow the installation wizard
instructions.
1. Execute the setup le in the DeviceInstaller. Select the folder which matches
your version. (*1)
2. Follow the installation wizard instructions.
