1. Introduction
Welcome to Moxa CN2510 Async Server. Models are available with 8 or 16 asynchronous RS-232 ports, and all
models come with one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN port. CN2510 Async Server is used to connect terminals,
modems, printers, and other asynchronous serial devices to LAN hosts. CN2510 complies with TCP/IP and IEEE
802.3 specifications using standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT and twisted pair 10/100BaseTX cable as the data
transmission medium.

Hardware Installation
Desktop
Place your CN2510 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the
desktop kit to the bottom of the unit, and leave some space between the CN2510 and other equipment. Do not
place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this might damage the server.
Rackmount
CN2510 is designed to be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the enclosed pair of L-shaped metal
brackets and screws to fasten your CN2510 to the rack cabinet. Each L-shaped bracket has 6 holes, leaving two
outer or inner holes available for other uses. You have two options. You can lock either the front or rear panel
of the CN2510 to the front of the rack. Locking the front panel is shown in the following figure.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before inst
alling and/or wiring your CN2510.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum rati
ngs, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling CN2510. When plugged in, CN2510’s internal components generate heat, and
consequently the board may feel hot to the touch.

CN2510 Getting Started
2-3
You should also observe the following common wiring rules:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Connecting CN2510-8/16’s Power
Connect CN2510’s 100-240 VAC power line to its AC connector. If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready”
LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the color changes to green.
Connecting CN2510-8/16-48V’s Power
To connect CN2510-8/16-48V’s power cord to its terminal block, follow the steps given below:
1.
Loosen the screws on the V+ and V- terminals of CN2510-8/16-48V’s terminal block.
2.
Connect the power cord’s 48 VDC or -48 VDC wire to the terminal block’s V+
terminal, and
the power cord’s DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V- terminal, and then
tighten the terminal block screws.
(Note: CN2510-8/16-48V will still operate properly if the 48V/-
48V and DC Power Ground
wires are reversed.)
If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which
time the color changes to green.
NOTE
Use 8 kg
-cm of screw torque and 22-14 AWG electric wire to connect CN2510-8/16-48V’s power cord to its
terminal block.
Grounding CN2510-8/16-48V
Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting serial
devices to CN2510.
The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the second contact from the right of the
5-pin power terminal block connector located on the rear panel of CN2510-8/16-48V. Connect the SG wire to
the Earth ground.
ATTENTION
CN2510
-8/16-48V should be mounted to a well-grounded surface, such as a metal panel.

CN2510 Getting Started
2-4
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to CN2510’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet network. There are 2 LED indicators located on the top left and right corners of the Ethernet connector.
If the cable is properly connected, CN2510 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
The top right
corner LED indicator maintains a solid green color when the cable is properly
connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
The
top left corner LED indicator maintains a solid orange color when the cable is properly
connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Use appropriately wired serial data cables to connect serial devices to CN2510’s serial ports.
Connecting to the Console Port
A console is a combination of keyboard and monitor that is used to configure settings and monitor the status
of your system. The console port can be used if a network is unavailable, or you do not know CN2510’s IP
address. To connect to the console port, use a PC running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emulation software (e.g.,
HyperTerminal or PComm by Moxa; parameter settings are: baud rate = 115200 bps, parity check = None,
data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, terminal type = VT100). Use an RJ45-to-DB25 or RJ45-to-DB9 cable to connect the
terminal to the console port.
Accessing the Console Utility
The Console Utility is the main application used to set up the server, configure the ports, and run utilities (ping,
diagnosis, monitor, and upgrade). There are two ways to access the Console Utility—with terminal emulation
from a console terminal, or with Telnet from a network terminal.
NOTE
If your network is already set up, telnet over the network to CN2510’s IP address to access the Console Utility.
If your network environment is not set up, use Moxa PComm Terminal to establish a direct serial console
connection.
Configuration Checklist
You will need the following information to configure CN2510. Check with your network administrator if you do
not know all of the required information.
Basic CN2510 Information:
Name
Location
LAN1 IP address
LAN1 IP netmask
LAN1 default gateway IP address
Domain server 1 IP address
Domain server 2 IP address
WINS server IP address
Console password

CN2510 Getting Started
2-5
Accessing the Console from a Telnet Terminal
Connect CN2510 to your LAN and then turn on the power. Use the Moxa Windows Utility to find CN2510’s IP
address, and then telnet to the IP address to enter the CN2510 console.
CN2510 Windows Utility
The CN2510 Utility is a convenient Windows utility that can be used to find both the name and IP address of
your CN2510. Once you know the IP address, you can telnet CN2510 over the network to complete the
configuration process and to gather information about all servers on the network.
1. Run upgrade.exe, located in the \Software\Firmware\ folder on the CN2510 Documentation and Software
CD, or run NPort Tool Firmware Utility from the Start menu.
2. The CN2510 Utility will search for all CN2510s on the network.
3. The CN2510 Utility lists all available servers on the network. Note that servers in grey are password
protected. Double click the server’s name, or click on from the menu bar to see the server settings.

CN2510 Getting Started

4. The server’s general information is shown in the NPort Server General Info. window. If necessary,
change the settings, and then click on OK to accept the change.
5. If you can’t find the server in the list, double-check the server’s power and network connections, and then
use search to try locating the server again.
Using Telnet
1. Telnet over the network to the server’s IP address.
2. Type 1 to choose ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.

Accessing the Console from a Console Terminal
If you do not know the CN2510’s IP address, or it is not possible to use Telnet, you can use a direct console
connection to enter the CN2510 console. Use a terminal emulation program for the console PC, such as
HyperTerminal or Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator.
1. If you are using Windows 9x/ME/NT, run PComm26.exe from the Win9xNT directory. If you are using
Windows 2000/XP/2003, run PComm2K.exe , as shown in the figure below, from the
Win2kXP2003directory.
