1.2 Des ription
This iServer is designed to connect industrial devices with serial interfaces to the
Ethernet networ using the TCP/IP protocol. It contains an Ethernet Server interface.
The standard features include:
• Use standard Web Browser (TCP/IP protocol), HTTPGET DOS program or Telnet
Simulation, for networ connectivity.
• Use a standard home page or customize web page for OEM applications.
For this Ethernet Option, the Communication Menu is only used for internal
interface with the Ethernet Option. There is no RS-232 or RS-485 for the user
to access. The setting in the Communication Menu should be: 9600 baud rate,
1 stop bit, odd parity and RS-232. For the server side, the settings would be
the same.
The following example illustrates how you can hoo up the devices with serial interface
on the net using the iServer:

2.4 Network Communi ation Interfa es
2.4.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet networ (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer for networ
connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of
wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for
transmitting data signals. This means that four pins of the eight-pin connector are used.
Figure 2.4 RJ45 Pinout
2.4.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the
computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer, and vice versa. The
10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown on Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5 10Base-T Crossover Cable Wiring
Use straight through cable for connecting the iServer to an Ethernet hub.
The ports on the hub are already crossed.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
3.1 Network Proto ols
The iServer can be connected to the networ using standard TCP/IP protocols. It
also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number.
When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be
found on the label of your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal
numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex
For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put
your IP address. See Figure 3.1.

3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to
extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on
your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the networ , there is an exchange of
information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address,
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mas will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is
shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the
DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position.
Figure 3.2 DIP Swit h on the iServer
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized
over a networ based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead
of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or
any eight character name stored as Host Name under Access Control menu in the
iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last
four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
1. It is very important to communicate with the networ administrator in order to
understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server,
before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mas of 255.255.255.0.
3. On Novell networ s or Windows 2000 where the DCHP is an updated
function of DNS this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can be
assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in Se tion 3.4.

3.5 IP Address
Every active device connected to the TCP/IP networ must have a unique IP address.
This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer’s serial port. Every computer
using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the
networ ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same networ uses the
same networ ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID. For more details
about the IP address see Appendix B.
3.5.1 Default IP Address
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mas
of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access
the iServer using its default IP address, ma e sure that the PC from which you’re
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s
IP address (192.168.1.x, where xcan be any number from 1 to 254.
Your PC’s IP address cannot be the same as the iServer’s IP address).
You also need to ma e sure that your PC’s Subnet Mas is 255.255.255.0. This is a
good way to access the iServer over the networ and ma e any configuration changes
needed. If the factory default address is already in use on your networ , use an Ethernet
crossover cable between your computer and the iServer and modify the IP address or
any other settings within the iServer.
3.6 Port Number
All TCP connections are defined by the IP address and a port number. A port number is
an internal address that provides an interface between an application running on your
computer and the networ through the TCP/IP protocol.
There are three default TCP soc et port numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port (soc et) number 1000 when using HTTPGET program.
2. Port (soc et) number 2000 when trying to access your serial device connected to
the serial port of the iServer.
3. Port (soc et) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for reading or
changing the settings. This can be done using Telnet application.
Example: C:\>Telnet 192.168.1.200 2002

PART 4
OPERATIONS
An industrial device with serial interfaces (PLC, CNC controllers, PC, Data Display
Devices, etc.) can be connected to the serial port of the Web Server.
4.1 SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION - Communi ation Proto ol
A data communication protocol defines the rules and structure of messages used by all
devices on a networ for data exchange. A typical transaction will consist of a request to
send from the MASTER followed by the response from one or more SLAVE devices.
Either a single (point-to-point) or multi-drop networ (multi-point) is possible.
4.2 Command Stru ture
There are different command types associated with communication between the
Ethernet Server and your device shown in Table 4.1, which shows the Command Prefix
Letters (Command Classes)
Table 4.1 Command Prefix Letters
COMMAND PREFIX

Where:
"*" is the selected Recognition Character. You may select any ASCII table symbol from
"!" (HEX address "21") to the right-hand brace (HEX "7D") except for the caret "^", "A",
"E", which are reserved for bus format request.
"" stands for the hex-ASCII Command Class letter (one of eleven given in Table 4.1),
followed by the two hex-ASCII Command Suffix characters identifying the meter data,
features, or menu items to which the command is directed.
"<data>" is the string of characters containing the variable information the computer is
sending to the meter. These data (whether BCD or binary) are encoded into hex-ASCII
character (see Appendix D for binary-hex-ASCII chart), two characters to the byte.
Square brac ets [indicating optional status] enclose this string, since some commands
contain no data.
"<nn>" are the two ASCII characters for the device Bus Address of RS485 communication.
Use values from "00" to hex "C7" (199 decimal).
The following format is used for ea h byte sent and re eived through serial port of
Ethernet Server:
1. Seven or Eight-bit binary, Hexadecimal (0 ... 9, A ... F)
2. Two hexadecimal characters contained in each eight-bit field of the message
3. 1 start bit; 7 or 8 data bit; 1 Stop Bit; Odd, Even (No Parity) Bit

4.4 Operations
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s
preference and networ setup. It can be used in Telnet simulation mode where it
emmulates serial communication operation over a networ cable or directly from a Web
browser, li e Netscape or Internet Explorer.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, you do not need to
worry about IP address, MAC address, or networ conflicts, all of these issues are solved
for you by your networ DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to use a
straight/normal networ cable to connect the device to a hub and power it up. Then you
can go to your computer that is connected over the same networ and from the MS-DOS
Prompt window type "ping eisxxxx" followed by the last four digits from the MAC address
located on the side or bac of the device.
Figure 4.1 Pinging eis03e MS-DOS Prompt
This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode
using the Telnet or Web browser.
4.5 Setup and Operation Using a Web Browser
a) Start your web browser.
b) From the browser you type http://eisxxxx using the last four-digits from the MAC
address label located on the device if DHCP and DNS are used. If a static IP address
is used, then simly type http://x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the iServer’s IP address.
c) The Home Page, shown below, will be displayed.
d) From the drop-down window you can select the type of device connected (iSeries,
iDRN, iDRX, iR2, INFB, or iLD) then press Update to get to the Home Page.
