Applied Field
sLAN/all can be applied in many areas. Some examples are shown below.
Serial Communication using Network
Serial devices can be used from a computer, if a computer and a sLAN/all device are connected through the network.
sLAN
Serial Tunneling
This allows the serial cable between a computer and a serial device to be extended through the network. This
makes the cable length limitless where there is a network nearby. To use this feature, please refer to Chapter 5
Configuration Web Page, and use either “TCP Server – TCP Client mode”, or “UDP Server – UDP Client mode”.
Only these two modes allow transmit and receive data for serial tunneling.

4. Connecting Network
This chapter is intended to provide information regarding connection and operation of sLAN/all with other serial device. How
to connect sLAN/all with a device or network is shown below.
First-time Use
Check if the power source meets the specification of sLAN/all before connecting the power to the device. sLAN/all will be
turned on and operate correctly only if the specified power is provided. There are three LEDs to check the status of sLAN/all.
Please refer to Chapter 3 Hardware Specifications.
Before connecting
You need a RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect sLAN/all to a network. sLAN/all supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps. sLAN/all LAN
(or Ethernet) port supports MDIX. Because the device automatically detects “Cross Ethernet Cable” and “Direct Ethernet
Cable”, any types of cables can be used. Connect one end of a cable to sLAN/all, and another end to a network device.
Making Connection
To check the configure of the sLAN/all, you can either connect to the device with a web browser or use
configuration utility. If you know the static IP address, type it in a web browser to connect to the configuration web
page. Otherwise, if your sLAN/all received its IP address from the DHCP server, using configuration utility is
recommended. To learn more about using configuration utility, please refer to the SGConfig manual. To connect to
the sLAN/all Configuration Web Page, you need to type an IP address of the sLAN/all from a web browser. A static
address, 192.168.0.223, is assigned to sLAN/all as default. After initial connection, you can change the IP address
or set sLAN/all to automatically receive an IP addresses from a DHCP server. This will be dependent on the
network environment and policies that you are using, but we strongly recommend to use a static IP address when
using sLAN/all.
Default IP Address: 192.168.0.223
The default IP address of a sLAN/all is 192.168.0.223. To connect to the device, network settings of your computer must be
configured to the same network. Please refer to the following example to set the network settings of your computer.

5. Configuration Web Page
Configuring a sLAN/all through the web page is explained.
Minimum Requirements
For network environments with speed of 10Mbps or lower, configuration through the web page is not supported.
PC 10Mbps sLAN
To configure through the web page, the network speed must be 100Mbps or faster. If a sLAN/all is directly connected to the
computer it will also work. If setting the below environment is difficult, use the SGConfig utility to configure the device. For
directly connecting the device with your computer, please refer to Chapter 4 Connecting Network.
PC 100Mbps sLAN
PC sLAN
Login
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the sLAN/all. An authentication window will appear. The default ID is “slan”,
and password is “99999999” without quotes.

Operation Setting
In [Operation Setting], you can configure operation modes and socket options. The [Submit] button must be clicked to save
the changes you have made. For changes to take effect, the device must be rebooted. You can do it from [Reboot] menu. If
changes are not saved, changed values will be lost when the device is turned off or rebooted.

COM Redirector
This allows sLAN/all serial port to be used as a virtual COM port for
Windows. When using this mode, serial settings follow what is set in
the virtual COM Port.
TCP Server
For a client device from the same network to access, this device
can run as a server. A socket number can be configured from [Local
Port]. When the socket is connected, any data received from the
sLAN/all will pass the socket and the serial port.
TCP Client
A sLAN/all can run as a client to connect to the server in the same
network. When the socket is connected, any data received from the
sLAN/all will pass the socket and the serial port. The IP address of
the server can be set from [Target IP/Port].
UDP Server
For a client device from the same network to access, this device

can run as a server. A socket number can be configured from [Local
Port].
If UDP package is received from the socket, the data will be passed
through the serial port. The data from the serial port will be sent to
the client with UDP packet.
UDP Client
When the data is received from the serial port, it will be sent to the
server with UDP packet. The server IP address and the port
number can be set in [Target IP] and [Target Port].
Local Port
4001
The socket number is assigned to the serial port in this device.
This port is used in TCP server and UDP server modes.
Target IP
0.0.0.0
When the device is set to TCP or UDP client mode, the TCP or UDP
server IP address can be entered here.
Target Port
4001
When the device is set to TCP or UDP client mode, the TCP or UDP
server port number can be entered here.
Latency
Time
0
The waiting time interval before sending a continuously received
serial data to socket.
For example, if the value is set to 0, when the serial device sends
100 bytes of ASCII through a sLAN/all to a socket in a server, the
data will be sent to the server immediately. Although this allows for
real-time operations, this will cause a huge amount of network
traffic.
If this value is set to any value except zero, the device will fill the
buffer and send the data according to the waiting time interval.
Although, it will lessen the network traffic, but real-time
communication is not possible when the latency time is not set to
zero.
(Unit: milliseconds)
TCP Alive
Check Time
60
After socket connection is established, the network status is
checked by given time value. If any errors are detected, the socket
connection will be terminated or reset.
If this value is set to zero, this feature is disabled, but network
connection will remain connected.
(Options; From 0 to 65,535 seconds)
TCP No-
delay
Disable
This is an option for the device to set a delay when sending TCP
packet.
When this is disabled, TCP data will be buffered before sent to
serial port. This will cause some delays between the Ethernet and
serial communication. It is suitable for high-speed data or packet

When this is set to enabled, TCP data is set immediately. Delays
