Overview

E-P432 TCP/IP converter is designed to make your industrial serial devices

Internet ready instantly. ARM-7 Series of E-P432 TCP/IP converter makes the
ideal choice for connecting your RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial devices—such
as PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it
possible for your software to access serial devices anywhere and anytime over
a local LAN or the Internet.

ARM-7 Series converters ensure the compatibility of network software that

uses a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP
Server Mode, TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. And thanks to ARM-7 Series’
Real COM/TTY drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can be set up
to work over a TCP/IP network in no time. This excellent feature preserves your
software investment and lets you enjoy the benefits of networking your serial
devices instantly.

ARM-7 Series converters support manual configuration via the handy web
browser console and many protocols including TCP, IP, UDP, HTTP, DHCP,
ICMP, and ARP. They are the best solution to network your serial devices.

Block Diagram

Low-cost devices usually are equipped with low speed processors and limited

memories. In reality, they are neither having the capability nor practicality to

manage complicated network TCP/IP protocols. ARM-7 Series is a low cost

while providing high performance network solution by converting data stream

between network TCP/IP and popular serial port signals. In stead of processing

TCP/IP packets directly, devices need only deal with those interface signals,

which greatly simplifies the complexity of TCP/IP network in linkage.

7
Product Features

□□ Data Conversion between RS-232/422/485 and Ethernet

Convert serial device (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) data/signal into the TCP/IP

packet data/signal and send them out with the Ethernet data stream; or convert

the TCP/IP packet data/signal into serial device data/signal.

□□ Dynamic IP Configuration

Support DHCP client mode, simplifying network address configuration and

management.

□□ Dual LAN Speed

Support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, auto-detected.

□□ Server / Client Dual Modes

ARM-7 Series can be configured as network server or network client. In the

client mode, it can be installed in network which is protected by NAT router or

firewall, without the need of a real IP address.

□□ Web-based Setup

When you finish the steps mentioned above and the LED indicators are as
shown, the converter is installed correctly. You can use the Setup Tool
“ETM.exe” to setup the IP Address.

To proceed the advanced parameter setup, please use a web browser (IE or
Netscape) to continue the detailed settings.
16
 Converter Configuration
Initial IP Configuration

When setting up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do

is configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure

the device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings,

see “Web Console Configuration”. in next sub section.

For quick and easy start , We suggest you to reference “Quick Installation

Guide” manual.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

□□ Device Management Utility

□□ Menu “View”

□□ Menu “Config”

17
Device Management Utility

On PC we provide a Device Management Utility named ETM.exe which is

an executable program in Windows 32 bit environments. ETM Setup Tool
is used to detect and setup the installed converters. It uses UDP broadcast
packets to query and configure converters on the network.

When you activate the tool, it will detect the existence of the installed
converters and depict the converters’ status such as IP address, Subnet
Mask, MAC Address, and Device ID (see Figure 3.1). The Setup Tool only
can setup one converter at a time. Thus if there are more than one
converter on the network, please shut down or disconnect other converters.
Otherwise the ETM.exe can not detect the converter. Other similar issues,
you may reference to Q&A in Appendix A.

Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, ETM has following

characteristics:
□□ Broadcast packets aren’t limited by subnet. Even if the IP address of the
converters and the computer running ETM do not belong to the same subnet,
it still works fine.
□□ Broadcast packets can not pass routers. ETM can only be used to
monitor devices with computer running ETM in the same segment of local
area network.

(Figure 3.1)

18
Menu “View”
□□ View -> Refresh F5
Refresh the status. ETM will send another query to get updated
information.(see Figure 3.2).
Note: Always run the “View-> Refresh” after any data change.

(Figure 3.2)
□□ View -> Exit Alt+F4
Exit from the program (see Figure 3.2).

Menu “Config”
□□ Config -> IP Address (see Figure3.3)

(Figure 3.3)

19
Press ENTER or select [IP Address] in the [Config] menu, a dialog will be
shown (see Figure 3.4).
Note : Because ETM uses broadcast UDP packets, for the sake of security,
it allows configuration only when device's setup password is empty.

(Figure 3.4)

Assign an IP Address with the same Subnet Mask of your computer,

avoiding any IP conflict with other network devices.
When you press [Ok] button, the IP address will be refreshed in 2~3
seconds.
(see Figure 3.5).

(Figure 3.5)

20
Web Console Configuration

In addition to basic IP address and subnet mask, specific device settings

can be set through HTTP protocol with popular browsers, e.g. Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc. Setup of the converters is as easy as surfing on
WWW, no special software will be required. Press [Alt]+[Enter] or
select [Device Settings] in the [Config] menu, will open a new window
in browser to login into the device. Alternatively, if the IP address of the
converter is already known, you can connect to the converter directly by
providing its IP address in the URL field of browsers.

Controller Status

The Login Page

Setup of E-P432 TCP/IP converter is as easy as surfing on WWW, no

special software will be required. Popular Browsers, such as IE, or

Netscape, can easily do the setup process. In the browser URL field, set

the IP address of device directly, To enter the “Controller Status” page,

please follow the steps below.

□□ Open your browser. This chapter will use IE as an example.

□□ In the browser URL field, type the IP address of the converter directly

and press ENTER. (The IP address is what you set using the Device

Management Utility.)

□□ The “Controller Status” page will be shown (see Figure 3.6).

(Figure3.6)
22
Field Description

□□ System time elapsed

The time elapsed since start of this device in [Day Hour : Minute : Second]
format. This information can be useful in identifying the reliability of system.

□□ Firmware version
Converter firmware is identified by date code. This information will be
required in looking for technical support.

□□ Serial number
Converter is consisted “Type Number (5 digits) and a unique MAC (Media
Access Control) address used by Ethernet in octad format, 8 digits.

□□ Password(Setup Login)
This field is the administration password for authentication. Factory default is
“empty”. However, it is not recommended to leave it empty in field operation.
If you could not login, it means you have to key in the password. If you do
not know the password you can turn off the power and then use any point tip
to push “Reset” button and hold it to turn on the power at the same time for 5
seconds. The password will be reset to the factory default as “empty”.

E-P432 TCP/IP converter uses the same password protection mechanism

commonly used in Windows NT or UNIX. If there are more than “3
consecutive failures” in password check during login, the login function will
be disabled for “15 minutes”. During this 15 minutes period, even if you
supply correct password, login will not proceed. This prevents intruders from
finding the password by computer generated program.

23
Controller Setup

□□ The Setup Page

Type the correct password in the “Password” field and click the [Login]
button in the “Controller Status” page, then the “Controller Setup” page will
appear (see Figure 3.7).

Note: If you forget the password or can’t login successfully, please contact
the manufacturer directly.

(Figure 3.7 )

24
□□ Field Description

□□ IP Address
The IP address of E-P432 TCP/IP converter, 4 digits separated by '.' Don’t
let it conflict with the other devices on the network.

If DHCP client mode is enabled and there's a DHCP server on the network,
this field will be assigned by DHCP server automatically.

□□ Subnet mask
Subnet mask of the network E-P432 TCP/IP converter has connected to.
“255.255.255.0” is usually used for small network, “255.255.0.0” for larger
network, 4 digits separated by '.'

If your IP address is provided by an ISP or the internal network administrator,

please inquire of them that information and type it correctly.

If DHCP client mode is enabled and there's a DHCP server on the network,
this field will be assigned by DHCP server automatically.

□□ Gateway address
Gateway or Router IP address. 'Gateway' is a device which connects local
network to external network. If you need to communicate with other
networks or your device owns a real IP address on the internet, please
inquire of them that information and type it correctly. If there's no gateway
on the network, just leave it as “0.0.0.0”.

If DHCP client mode is enabled and there's a DHCP server on the network,
this field will be assigned by DHCP server automatically.

25
□□ Network link speed
Ethernet physical link speed. “Auto” means the speed is automatically
selected by the converter. You can also specify “10M” or “100M” to match
the speed of the HUB.
□□ DHCP client
DHCP client mode could be enabled/disabled status. If DHCP is enabled,
there should be a DHCP server on the network. If DHCP is disabled, [IP
address], [Subnet mask], and Gateway address] should be manually
assigned.

□□ Socket port of HTTP setup

The socket port used to conduct the browser setup. Normally, HTTP protocol
use TCP port “80” for communication. If the field is changed to “81”, the port
“80” will be reserved for user's own Web.

To enter the browser setup page, “http://x.x.x.x:81” should be typed for

socket port “81” and “http://x.x.x.x” for socket port “80”, where “x.x.x.x” is the
converter’s IP address..

□□ Destination IP address
The server IP address and socket port would be connected in TCP Client
and UDP Client mode for a certain serial port.

□□ Destination socket port

The server socket port would be connected in TCP Client and UDP Client
mode for a certain serial port.

□□ TCP socket inactive timeout imput

we add a mechanism - "inactive timeout" to identify whether the socket is
active or dead. If there is no any data transferred (send / receive) within the
defined timeout period (1 to 99 minutes), then it is probably a dead
26
socket, and the socket will be closed automatically, thus a new connection
can be accepted again. The timeout period can be set by users to fit different
kinds of application.

□□ Packet mode of serial input

Packet mode could be in enabled/disabled mode. If packet mode is enabled,
the data input from UART will be deferred until the input buffer is full, or the
converter detects a 10-character packet gap and no more character arrived.
The block waiting time is extended to avoid the splitting of the complete
packet.

□□ Device ID
User assigned ID number for the converter. Available ID is “0 ~ 65535”.

□□ Report device ID when connected

In TCP mode, if this parameter is enabled, every time when the socket is
connected, E-P432 TCP/IP converter will immediately report its device ID in
the following formats:

Serial #1 nnnnnA[LF][CR]
Serial #2 nnnnnB[LF][CR]
Digital I/O nnnnnC[LF][CR]

The total length is 8 bytes, where “nnnnn” is a 5-digit device ID assigned by

the user; [LF] is decimal 10; [CR] is decimal 13.

□□ Setup password
Administration password used to login the “Controller Setup” page. It may
be empty or up to 15 characters long.

27
□□ Serial Port 1 & 2
The first & second serial ports of E-P432 are RS-232/RS-485/RS-422. (see
Figure 3.8)

(Figure 3.8)

□□ Socket port

□□ Port number

Controller Updated

Press [Update] Button After you finish the detailed parameters setting.
The converter will save all parameters into internal non-volatile
memory and then reboot (see Figure 3.10). It takes about 5 seconds
to complete the whole process, and a new login page will be presented
(see Figure 3.6).

(Figure 3.10)

You can re-login and check if all parameters have been correctly

saved. If everything is ok, you can close the browser now.

Note: If the domain of the converter is different from that of the

computer running the browser, the login page won’t appear unless

the converter’s “Gateway Address” has been correctly set.

33
Factory Default Setting

If by chance, you forget the setup password, or have incorrect

settings making the converter inoperable, there are two ways to reset
the setting and the following procedures can be used to reset all
settings to factory default:

A:
you can turn off the power and then use any point tip to push “Reset”
button and hold it to turn on the power at the same time for 5 seconds.
The password will be reset to the factory default.
B:
1.Turn off the power of the converter.
2. Use a pin or any point tip to push the screw driver or any conductor
to short DTR and CTS (pin 4 and pin 8 in DB9) of RS232
connector.
3.Turn on the power of the converter and wait 5 seconds and remove
screwed driver or conductor.

34
 Converter Self-Testing
After completing the wiring and parameter setting, we should verify if the
setting is correct or not. This chapter will introduce how to use a single
computer to test if the converter behaves well.

The operating system can be Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000. The “Hyper
Terminal” utility should be installed on your PC (see Figure 4.1). It can be
found in your Windows installation CD.

The wiring architecture is similar to “RS-232 Wiring” in chapter 2, and the

“Serial Device” is replaced by the PC’s COM 1. The same PC also plays
the roll of the Remote Host.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

□□Hyper Terminal for TCP/IP WinSock

□□Hyper Terminal for COM Port
□□Data Transmission

35
Hyper Terminal for TCP/IP WinSock

Initiate a Hyper Terminal from the Start Menu in Windows (see Figure 4.1),
give a terminal name, choose an icon, and press “OK” button (see Figure
4.2).

(Figure 4.1)

(Figure 4.2)

36
Select “TCP/IP(Winsock)” option at the “Connect using:” field (see Figure
4.3)

.
(Figure 4.3)

After “OK” button is pressed, Figure 4.4 appears. Enter the converter’s IP
address (e.g. 192.168.0.10) at the “Host address:” field, and the Socket port
number set for the Serial Port 1 at the “Port number:” field (e.g 4660). (The
Socket type of the Serial Port 1 should be “TCP Server”.)

(Figure 4.4)

37
After “OK” button is pressed, Figure 4.5 appears. If the Hyper Terminal
connects with the converter successfully, the time clock at the “left lower”
corner “Connected hh:mm:ss” will start counting.

(Figure 4.5)

38
Hyper Terminal for COM Port

Initiate another Hyper Terminal as a COM Port Terminal (in Figure 4.3,
select COM 1 or other COM port instead of “TCP/IP (Winsock)”). Set the
COM port Properties to be the same as those set for the Serial Port of the
converter.

(Figure 4.3)

Data Transmission

When all steps described above are finished, type any characters on the
COM Port Terminal and check if the typed characters are also displayed on
the TCP/IP Winsock Terminal. Alternatively, check if the characters typed
on the TCP/IP Winsock Terminal are also displayed on the COM Port
Terminal. If yes, then all settings are correct and the converter can operate
properly.
