1.3 Ethernet connection
All references are equipped with two RJ45 connectors. Communication can be done
independently on both sides with network.
Figure 2
Ethernet Connectors Eth0 and Eth1
 The two RJ45 Ethernet connectors are configured in factory as Ethernet switch.
The main connector is the left ETH . The Computer must be primarily connected to this port.
In this configuration, the router has only one IP address for all its functions.
1.4 Wifi Connection – Ethernet
The Wifi option proposed in Oxtopus references allows access to Ethernet RJ45.
Figure 3
Architecture Ethernet IP
A computer can connect over WiFi Oxtopus to reach other Oxtopus or other equipment as the
LNS server.
If a DHCP server provides an IP address on Ethernet, the computer do not need a fixed IP
address, its Wi-Fi connection will assign a network address automatically.

Release EN .93 Page 8/53
User Manual
1.5 Automation protocols supported
The EIA-7 9.1 and Modbus protocols are supported on Oxtopus router and run on IP separately.
1.5.1 Router EIA-7 9.1
In Oxtopus routers, the EIA-7 9.1 protocol is available either on twisted pair or over IP. In order
to pass from one media to another, it is implemented in a router function. This is conforms to the
EIA-7 9.1 protocol and ensures the traffic filtering.
Figure 4
Architecture of Oxtopus router
To connect 2 media, a simple router is enough. To connect more than 2 medias a Virtual Media is
introduced into the router to follow the installation and operate procedures of the EIA-7 9.1
networks.
1.5.2 Router NAT Modbus
The Modbus protocol cannot be a router function. It was implemented a frame redirection by
changing the slave address. Hence the term NAT Router (Address Translation Router). Depending
on the number of EIA-485 Modbus port available on the reference, Modbus master address
requests on IP, the request will be redirected to the desired port with a new slave address.
Each EIA-485 port can only support 31 Modbus slaves. The Modbus address space is limited to
247 members. Within the maximum terms it is possible to send 31 * 4 = 124 Modbus slaves on
EIA-485.

Port EIA-485 Slave destination

1 Port 3 1
11 Port 3 2
2 Port 4 1
21 Port 4 2
1.6 Other protocols supported
1.6.1 EIA-852 Device
This protocol is transparent for the installer and operator of the router. It is used for exchanges
between members of a Channel IP.
1.6.2 EIA-852 Config Server
It is the virtual administrator of a Channel IP. All nodes or routers members of this channel are
declared in a list ( "channel list") and may share data.
If a member is forgotten it cannot share with others.
 The « Config Server » router must be declared in the channel list as member.
 A router cannot belong on two channel lists member.
1.6.3 Web
An embedded Web server provides the router setup and provides a view of the general state of
the router. It is accessible via its IP address with a browser like Firefox, Chrome or Internet
Explorer. You can also access via WiFi with a tablet or smartphone. Web pages are automatically
resized according to your device.
The configuration pages are protected by password.
Login : « admin », Password: « oxpass »
1.6.4 Disk space embedded in FTP
A user disk space is available to store your files or documentation. This space is limited access via
FTP with login and password.
Login : « ftp », Password: « ftp ».

The EIA-7 9 protocol is not polarized; the front connectors are identified in groups by three, left
to right: Earth Net Net A and B.
Modbus over EIA-485 is polarized. Be careful, you must connect the + of all equipment on the
right terminal and the - pole on the left terminal.
 When the devices are powered by different sources, the third connector must be connected to
the reference.

2.6 LED signalization
2.6.1 Power LED
The POWER LED is ON in Green at the beginning of power on. A red color indicates a fault on the
router.
2.6.2 Wifi LED
For Oxtopus routers with wifi option, WIFI LED will be green to indicate that wifi is active; the red
color indicates that the wifi is inactive.
For routers that do not have wifi, this LED is off.
2.6.3 IP1/IP2 LED
IP LEDs indicates the status of each port and architecture
LED Ethernet architecture
LED IP1 ON IP Ports works in « switch » mode
LED IP2 ON Ports are configured in « double IP »
Regardless of the architecture, the color of the LED indicates the operation of the connection.
A green LED indicates that the Ethernet connection is working properly.
A red LED indicates that the Ethernet connection is not working. This may be due to the inability
to retrieve an IP address via DHCP for example.
Finally, an orange LED indicates that the Ethernet connection is working, but a fault has been
detected during startup. Services such as CNIP (LON 852) Config Server and Modbus do not work.
This may be due to, for example, significant time between the router startup and recovery of an
IP address via DHCP. In this case the DHCP worked but the address was acquired too late, the
services were launched without IP.
2.6.4 LED Activity (« Act. »)

3.1 Wizard for configuration
A wizard has been developed to simplify the configuration of Oxtopus router.
Questions are asked in specific order. At the end of the sequence, the reboot of the router places
it in the desired configuration.
The steps are:
1. System
2. Configure Wifi
3. EIA-7 9 Configuration
4. Modbus configuration
5. Reboot
When the reference does not have Wifi, EIA-7 9 or Modbus, the corresponding step is simply
skipped (not showed) from the wizard.
All changes in the configuration Wizard will be saved at the last step. You can redo the Wizard as
many times as you like without saving. All temporary values are stored until the backup or closing
your session with the browser.
3.2 Starting wizard on home page
The actions menu is on the left. The user identification is at the top right of the page.
The home page shows the status of the router. (For more details see chapter )
