Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 to serial devices for first time testing
purposes. We cover Wiring Requirements, Connecting the Power, Grounding the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485, Connecting to the Network, Connecting to a Serial Device, and LED
Indicators.

IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Getting Started

Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Please take care when handling the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485. When plugged in, the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s internal components generate heat, and consequently the casing may feel hot to
the touch. When installed with other components, make sure that there is at least 2 cm clearance on all sides
of the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 in order to allow proper heat dissipation.
You should heed the following:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To
avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Connecting the Power
Connect the 12-48 VDC power line with the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s terminal block. If the power is
properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the
“Ready” LED will change to a green color.
Grounding the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485
Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run
the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
WARNING
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.
SG:
T
he Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact
is the left most contact of the 8 contact power terminal block
connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the SG
wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Getting Started
2-4
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other
end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 will
indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
•The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
•The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
•The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
ATTENTION
Every IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is equipped with 2 Ethernet ports, which can be used to create an open
chain of IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485s. You must be careful not to connect the Ethernet ports of the two
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 at the ends of the chain. In other words, IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 does NOT
support a closed chain.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Connect the serial data cable between the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 and the serial device.
LED Indicators
The top panels of all IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485s have four LED indicators, as described in the following table.
LED Name LED Color LED Function
PWR1, PWR2 red Power is being supplied to power input PWR1, PWR2.
Steady on: Power is on and the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is booting
up.
red
Blinking: Indicates an IP conflict, or DHCP or BOOTP server did not
respond properly, or a relay output occurred.
When the above two conditions occur at the same time,
check the relay output first. If after resolving the relay output
the Ready
LED is still blinking, then there is an IP conflict, or
the DHCP or BOOTP server did not respond properly.
Steady on: Power is on and the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is functioning
normally.

Adjust the Pull-high/Pull-low Resistors and Terminators for
RS-422/RS-485 Ports
In certain critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial
signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors properly so that
electrical signals do not become corrupted. It is improbable for a single pull high/low resistor value to suit all

IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Getting Started
2-5
the various environments and this is why the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 provides DIP switches for setting the
pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.
The DIP switches are located on the PCB board; you will need to take off the covers to access them. To set the
pull-high resistor to 150 KΩ, flip DIP1 to “OFF,” and then set the pull-low resistor to 150 KΩ, and then flip DIP2
to “OFF.” To set the pull-high resistor to 1 KΩ, flip DIP1 to “ON,” and then set the pull-low resistor to 1 KΩ, and
then flip DIP2 to “ON.” Make sure that DIP3 is “ON” to enable the 120Ωterminator. The default settings for the
pull-high and pull-low resistors, and the terminators are all at “OFF.”

3. Initial IP Address Configuration
When setting up your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure the
IP address. This chapter introduces the methods that can be used to configure the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s
IP address. Select one of the initial IP Address configuration methods to configure the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s IP Address. For more details about network settings, see the Network
Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Initializing the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s IP Address
Factory Default IP Address
S/E-Converter Administrator
Telnet Console
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)

IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Initial IP Address Configuration
3-2
Initializing the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s IP
Address
Determine whether your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or
BOOTP application).
If the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is used in a Static IP environment, you can use the S/E-Converter
Administrator, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the new IP address.
If the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is used in a Dynamic IP environment, you can use the S/E-Converter
Administrator, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 to
get an IP address dynamically with DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, or BOOTP.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485
in the MAC-IP mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. In most applications, you should
assign a fixed IP address to your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485.
Factory Default IP Address
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 products are configured with the following default private IP address:
Default IP address: 192.168.1.110
(IP addresses of the form 192.168.xxx.xxx are referred to as private IP addresses, since it is not possible to
directly access a device configured with a private IP address from a public network. For example, you would not
be able to ping such a device from an outside Internet connection. IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 applications that
require sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, require setting up the server with a valid
public IP address, which can be leased from a local ISP.)
S/E-Converter Administrator
S/E-Converter Administrator consists of some useful utility programs that are used to configure and manage
your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485.
See Chapter 5 for details on how to install S/E-Converter Administrator, and how to use this useful
tool to set up IP addresses and configure your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485.
