Getting to Know Your Device Server
1.1 About the IDS-141A / IDS-181A Serial Device Server
IDS-141A / IDS-181A is an innovative 4 & 8 ports RS232 to LAN device
server. Users are able to configure IDS-141A / IDS-181A by DS-Tool via
LAN port. IDS-141A / IDS-181A offers many powerful features for HW &
SW redundant functions.
IDS-141A / IDS-181A can simultaneously transfer data into 5 host PCs.
This feature can assure all critical data that saved in different host PCs to
avoid Ethernet break or host PCs failure.
Secondly, the IDS-141A / IDS-181A provides dual redundant power inputs on terminal block.
IDS-141A / IDS-181A also provides NAT pass through function so that users are able to
manage IDS-141A / IDS-181A inside or outside the NAT router. It is easy for different IP
domain users to use IDS-141A / IDS-181A. Therefore, IDS-141A / IDS-181A is the best
communication redundant solution for current application of serial devices.
1.2 Software Features
NAT-pass through: User can manage IDS-141A / IDS-181A through NAT router.
Redundant Power Inputs: 12~48VDC on terminal block. & power jack
Redundant multiple host devices: 5 simultaneous in Virtual COM, TCP Server, TCP Client
mode, and 4 simultaneous for UDP mode.
Secured Management by HTTPS and SSH.
Versatile Modes: Virtual Com, Serial Tunnel, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP
Event Warning by Syslog, Email, SNMP trap, Relay
Various Windows O.S. supported: Windows NT/2000/ XP/ 2003/VISTA 32bits

Hardware Installation
2.1 Install IDS-141A / IDS-181A on DIN-Rail
Each IDS-141A/ IDS-181A has a Din-Rail kit on rear panel. The Din-Rail kit helps IDS-141A/
IDS-181A to fix on the Din-Rail. It is easy to install the IDS-141A / IDS-181A on the Din-Rail:
2.1.1 Mount IDS-141A / IDS-181A on DIN-Rail
Step 1: Slant the IDS-141A / IDS-181A and mount the metal spring to Din-Rail.
Figure 2-1

Step 2: Push the IDS-141A / IDS-181A toward the Din-Rail until you heard a “click”
sound.
Figure 2-2
2.2 Wall Mounting Installation
Each IDS-141A / IDS-181A has another installation method for you. A wall mount panel can
be found in the package. The following steps show how to mount the IDS-141A/ IDS-181Aon
the wall:

Step 2: Use 6 screws that can be found in the package to combine the wall mount panel.
Just like the picture shows below:
Figure 2-4
The screws specification shows in the following two pictures. In order to prevent IDS-141A
/ IDS-181A from any damage, the size of screws should not be larger than the size that
used in IDS-141A / IDS-181A.
