PART 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations
Refer to the CE Approval Section
EMC Considerations
•Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
•Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
•Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections.
•Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
ailure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
1.2 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment: Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received
everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as
you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims
unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the
contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service
Department nearest you.
Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free configuration software
(iConnect), datalogging software (iLog), and Mail Notifier are available at the website
listed on the cover page of this manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with your
shipment.

1.3 Description
This device can be purchased as a stand alone DIN Rail mounted unit, or
as a bench/wall mount unit.
The iServer is a stand alone Ethernet Server designed to connect devices with serial
interfaces to the Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol. It contains Ethernet and
RS232/RS485 interfaces.
The standard features include:
• Use standard Web Browser, TCP connection, HTTPget DOS program or Telnet
Simulation, for network connectivity.
• Install via RS232/RS485 serial port connection.
• Transfer data from RS232/RS485 serial interface to TCP/IP using built-in socket server.
• Use a standard home page or customize Web page for OEM applications.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup the devices with serial interface
on the network using the iServer:

HARDWARE
2.1 Mounting
2.1.1 Mounting the Wall Mount iServer
Position unit where required. Mark and drill the two #6 screw holes.
After bracket is mounted on the wall, align back of unit over the three bracket clips,
once engaged, slide downward, the unit will snap in place.
igure 2.1 Mounting - Wall Mount iServer
It is recommended that you ground your unit. With one end of a wire
connected to earth ground, the other side can be wraped around the ground
screw, located on the bottom of the case.
If unit is to be mounted on a flat surface, you may take the bottom rubber
feet off the unit.
For overall dimensions of unit, refer to igure 5.1 in Specifications Section.
