1 Overview
1.1 Overview
Along with the development of the Internet, the demand for data communication
functions has increased recently. Data communication over the Internet requires using
TCP/IP, the Internet communication protocol. That is to say, in order to connect a system
to the Internet, TCP/IP protocol must be implemented. It is possible to implement TCP/IP
by directly implementing the protocol, porting public TCP/IP, or using Operating System
(OS). However, all these methods impose burdens on the developer in time, cost, and
technology.
ezTCP series, a Serial ↔ TCP/IP protocol converter product group of Sollae Systems,
enables you to use TCP/IP communication (the Internet communication) function simply
by “connecting the cable to a serial port”. ezTCP sends data from the serial port to the
Internet network after TCP/IP processing, and vice versa.
CSE-H25 in ezTCP product group is a product that provides TCP/IP communication
through Ethernet. In other words, like other ezTCP products, CSE-H25 sends data from the
serial port to the LAN after TCP/IP processing and vice versa.
As CSE-H25 has a RS232 port, it can be connected to a RS232 device. And it is easy
CSE-H25 to attach to user systems because of its compact size. It can be operated wide
range temperature condition, so it is very suitable for noisy industrial environment.
Because it has SSL and SSH function, user can communicate more safely. And it
provides DHCP and PPPoE functions, so that it can be applied to the cable network and
the xDSL network. And it has DDNS (Dynamic DNS) function, so it can be used more
easily in the internet. It also provides debugging function, so user can solve the problem
with ours.

Telnet COM Port Control Option
CSE-H25 has a Telnet COM Port Control function that is defined in the RFC2217. If this
option is set, CSE-H25 transmits serial input signals (CTS, DSR) to the peer host and set
the values (RTS, DTR, baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bit) onto its serial ports from the
peer host.
TX Interval
CSE-H25 has a function that delays its serial data for the user‟s slow device. User can set
the interval between byte and byte which are outputting from CSE-H25‟s serial ports. Its
unit is byte.
1.4.2 Ethernet Interface
Network part of CSE-H25 is configured with Ethernet. So, what you have to do is only
to connect UTP cable. The Ethernet part detects 10Mbit or 100Mbit Ethernet automatically,
to connect the corresponding cable. It also provides auto MDI/MDIX function to detect
1:1 cable or cross-over cable automatically. Each piece of Ethernet equipment has unique
hardware addresses, and CSE-H25 also has factory-set hardware address (which is called
MAC address)

Security Function (SSL, SSH)
2.1.2 Connecting to the Network
Connect power to CSE-H25, and connect CSE-H25 either directly to the Ethernet port of
the PC where test is to be performed or to the network (hub) to which the PC is
connected.
2.1.3 Configuring the Environmental Variables
When network connection is completed, configure the environmental variables such as
IP address related items, serial port related items, and communication mode related items
through the LAN using “ezManager” the environmental variable configuration program.
2.2 Test Run
You can perform test run according to the following orders. The test run described here
is based on the assumption that the IP address of the PC is set to 10.1.0.2.
2.2.1 Changing IPAddress of PC
You can change the IP address of your PC as follows:
Table 2-2 IP address of PC
IP Address
10.1.0.2
Subnet Mask
255.0.0.0
Gateway IP Address

2.2.2 Installing CSE-H25
Connect the supplied RS232 cable between your PC and CSE-H25, the LAN cable to the
hub to which the PC is connected or directly to the PC, and the supplied CSE-H25 power
adapter to CSE-H25 for power supply. If the LAN cable has been correctly connected
when power is supplied, LINK LED turns on.
2.2.3 Configuring CSE-H25
Configure CSE-H25 setting using ezManager, the ezTCP configuration program, as
follows.
Run ezManager, and click [Search All] button in the ezManager window. And,
ezManager program will search all CSE-H25s on the local network.
When ezTCP is searched, MAC address of the ezTCP is displayed on the [Search Result]
window (The MAC address is indicated at the bottom of the product case).

Select the corresponding MAC address, and set the variables considering your network
environment.
When no ezTCP is found, check the Windows firewall. If you press [Windows Firewall]
button in the ezManager, you can see the Windows Firewall menu directly.
For simple test, we recommend that the variables keep default values as shown in the

3 Configuration
3.1 IP Address and Environmental Variables
For TCP/IP communication, you must set IP address related items. In addition, you have
to set serial port related items (serial port type, communication speed, data bit length,
parity bit, flow control, etc) to CSE-H25.
You can set the IP address and the serial port related items by using ezManager, the
supplied configuration utility which allows you to configure your CSE-H25 over the
network, or by using AT commands in ATC mode
3.2 Configuring with ezManager
3.2.1 ezManager
The basic environmental variables (IP address related items, serial port items, and etc.)
can be set by ezManager which is an integrated management tool for Windows.
The ezManager is operated in Microsoft Windows (Windows 98, 98 SE, 2000 Pro, ME, XP
Pro/Home, Vista). Following is the screen shot of ezManager which is just launched.

http://www.sollae.co.kr
 ezManager communicates UDP broadcast and its UDP ports are 50005 and 50006. Port
number 50005 is for setting and port number 50006 is for debugging. If you use any
firewall function, you have to disable the ports.

3.2.4 Matters to be attended to
ezManager can be used when you want to change your device‟s environment variables.
In case of CSE-H25, two interfaces are supported and those are Ethernet and RS232 port.
Using Ethernet Port
For use ezManager through Ethernet, CSE-H25 should be connected with PC on networks.
If they are located at the same network, [Search All], on the [MAC] tap, could be used
with MAC address. If they are connected on Internet, [Read], on the [IP] tap, could be
used.
Using RS232 Port
For use ezManager through RS232, not only the CSE-H25 should be connected to PC
with RS232 cross cable but also has to be operated as serial configuration mode.
3.3 AT command
In ATC mode, the user can set environment variables through the serial port using AT
command.
 For more information, See “7. ATC Mode”.
