Re ulatory Compliance 32

The WiSER2400.IP and the WiSER2400.Plus are IEEE 802.11b compliant

devices with built-in serial interfaces. They are desi ned to allow non-

wirelessly enabled serial devices to be connected and fully inte rated into an

802.11 Network.

The WiSER2400 receives data from equipment with serial ports; converts the

serial data into 802.11 compliant TCP or UDP data packets and transmits

these packets wirelessly. Conversely, the WiSER can receive wireless

packets, which it unpacks and delivers byte-by-byte to the destination

equipment/device throu h a serial port.

The WiSER2400 requires no device driver and is operatin system

independent. They can be used with almost any type of equipment that uses a

serial port, includin (but not limited to) cash re isters, electronic whiteboards

and navi ational instruments. Administration of the WiSER2400 is done

throu h a Windows based administrative software pro ram. The

administration software can be used to confi ure the unit’s operatin

parameters, administrative and local network settin s. It can also be used to

monitor the unit’s communication link conditions.

Fi . 1 WiSER2400.IP

The WiSER2400.IP comes with an RS-232 interface and a built-in

2dBi antenna. It comes supplied with a 5V DC power adapter.

The WiSER2400.Plus provides the same functionalities as the

WiSER2400.IP. It has an RS-232 DB-9 connector as well as a mini-

Phoenix connector for RS-485/422 interfaces. It accepts 5V DC to

32V DC power supply that has to be provided for separately by the

user. Input power connection is made throu h the mini-Phoenix

connector. It also comes with a DIN rail mountin clip and plate

assembly.

Note: Throu hout this manual, the term WiSER2400 is used to

refer to both the WiSER2400.IP and the WiSER2400.Plus

3.1 Ove view

This chapter describes the functionality and operations of the WiSER2400

Dia nostic and Confi uration administrative software pro ram. The

WiSER2400 administrative pro ram is supported on Microsoft Windows®

98(SE), NT, Millennium, 2000, and XP.

To use the administrative pro ram to monitor and confi ure the WiSER2400,

the PC can be connected to the WiSER2400 either directly throu h the serial

port by cable or via a wireless network connection.

A connection selection window will pop up as shown on the ri ht when the

administrative pro ram starts.

Once the connection selection is chosen, the administrative pro ram will

display an interface as shown in Fi . 10 and Fi . 11 respectively, dependin

on whether the PC is connected to the WiSER2400 by serial port, or by a

wireless connection.

Warning: The administrative pro ram in serial port connection

mode will not work if another RS232 application pro ram is set to use

the same COM port. Make sure that no other application is connected

with the COM port when startin the administrative pro ram. In

Windows, any connection with a COM port is exclusive.

3.1.1 The Tabs

There are five Tabs in the administrative software interface window:

Each will be covered in detail below.

Fi . 10 Administrative software dialo with a PC connected to the

WiSER2400 via a serial cable

Fi . 11 Administrative software dialo with a PC connected to the

WiSER2400 wirelessly.

Fi . 10 shows the administrative pro ram interface when the PC is connected

with the WiSER2400 throu h the serial port by a cable. The user first needs to

select the proper COM port on the PC and its baud rate, byte size, and parity

(as shown in the top of Fi . 10) to match those of the WiSER2400 before

clickin on the “Connect” button to establish communication link between the

administrative pro ram and the WiSER2400 unit.

Defaults: Baud Rate: 9600 / Data bits: / Parity: none

Alternatively, the user can click on the “Detect…” button (as shown in the

bottom of Fi . 10) to have the software automatically detect the RS232

parameter settin s of the WiSER2400 at a iven COM port. The connection

between the PC and the WiSER2400 will be automatically made when the

administrative software succeeds in correctly detectin the parameter settin s

of the WiSER2400. Once the connection is made, the Connect button will turn

into a Disconnect button. Simply click on the “Disconnect” to terminate the link

between the PC and the WiSER2400.

Fi . 11 shows the administrative pro ram interface when the PC is wirelessly

connected to the WiSER2400. To connect the PC to the WiSER2400 via

wireless networkin , one needs to make sure that the WiSER2400 and the PC

runnin the administrative software are on the same subnet.

The default IP settin s for the WiSER2400 are:

IP address: 192.16 .11.191

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

The administrative pro ram, when started in the wireless connection mode,

will automatically scan for all the available WiSER2400 units on the network.

Alternatively, the user can force a scan by clickin the “Get MAC/IP” button as

shown in the top of Fi . 4b. The scan results will be displayed in a pull-down

list. The user then selects from the menu for the unit to be confi ured or

monitored.

3.2 Passwo d P otection

Before any chan e/modification can be made to the confi uration of a

WiSER2400, a password must be submitted before the confi uration

command is executed.

After enterin the password, click “OK” to proceed “Cancel” to stop.

The Password Utility is also used to add or chan e a password for a

WiSER2400 unit.

Fi . 12 WiSER2400 Password Utility panel

NOTE: The default password of WiSER2400 is none.
