9 Product Overview Introduction The Hirschmann RG2-1TX has been designed to connect asynchronous serial devices to Ethernet networks with the least amount of user configuration and effort. Configuration is as simple as running a Windows based utility which scans the network for any RG2-1TX and then connects to the Web based configuration interface using any commercial web browser. This feature makes the need for custom configuration cables redundant although configuration using a serial cable as well as configuration via a DHCP or BootP server is also possible. The RG2-1TX is a compact din-rail mountable. This allows the device to be easily installed in most commercially available equipment cabinets. By utilising the flexible serial and Ethernet interfaces, the RG2-1TX gives the user the option of connecting any RS232, RS485 or RS422 device to 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet networks. Both the serial and Ethernet interface settings are software selectable thus doing away with hardware switches and multiple serial ports configured for each interface. Serial devices are typically not compatible with Ethernet networks but the RG2-1TX makes this connection possible by converting (translating) data between the serial device and the network. The RG2-1TX is a translator or a transmission channel as it repackages information from the serial device into Ethernet packets, and simultaneously converts data from the network (Ethernet packets) into a format understandable by the serial device. The RG2-1TX continuously transmits to and receives data from the serial device whilst assembling and disassembling network packets. The RG2-1TX is capable of converting serial data to the RAW and REDIRCTOR Ethernet protocols and vice versa. These protocol options are quite flexible as discussed in the paragraph below. Methods of Connection Depending on your requirements, there are numerous ways you can use a RG2-1TX to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network. Any combination of the connection options below can be configured giving the user a vast array of connectivity solutions. Connecting to a PC or PLC The most common application for this technology would be to control the serial device, connected to the serial application port of a RG2-1TX, using a networked computer or PLC. 9

10 Connecting a RG2-1TX to a PC or PLC Connecting two RG2-1TXs via a network Two serial devices can communicate transparently over the network via two RG2-1TXs connected back-to-back. The effect would be similar to using a very long serial cable, of virtually infinite length, between the devices. Connecting two RG2-1TXs via a Network Connecting a device transparently to a PC A serial device can be networked to a PC in a transparent manner. A COM port redirector on the PC creates a virtual serial port for use by legacy serial software. The COM port redirector is responsible for passing data and control signals to/from the serial device via the RG2-1TX. In the example below the application software running on the PC (PC on network) is only capable of connecting to serial com ports one to six and not to an IP address. As the PC has only two physical com ports, com 1 and com 2, we have created a virtual port, com 6, using the redirector software. The redirector is then configured to connect com 6 to the IP address of the RG2-1TX connected to the remote serial device. When the application thus sends or requests data from the serial device, it connects to the device via com 6 - but in actual fact it is using a virtual port, redirected to the RG2-1TX. 10

11 Principles of Redirection Description Important: The RG2-1TX has no user serviceable parts. A potential exists for electric shock should the cover be removed and all warrantees will be voided. Electrical supply cords and plugs must comply with relevant national and international standards. View of a RG2-1TX Serial devices connect to the RG2-1TX via the RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 Serial Interface. The RG2-1TX repackages information from the serial device into information called Ethernet packets, and simultaneously converts data from the network (Ethernet packets) into a format understandable by the serial device. The RG2-1TX continuously transmits to and receives data from the serial device whilst assembling and disassembling network packets. Network packets are transmitted as either UDP datagrams or as a TCP stream. 11

15 Overview To configure your RG2-1TX there are three tasks you need to complete. Assign a relevant IP Address and subnet mask. Configure the serial communication parameters. Lastly, configure the application(s) that the RG2-1TX will use over the network. This chapter aims to describe how to assign IP details to the RG2-1TX using the Quickstart option. Once this step has been completed, you can choose from a number of methods to configure the more advanced features. To network enable your RG2-1TX, it is necessary to configure it with an IP Address (e.g ) and Network Mask (e.g ). Quickstart gives the user access to a limited set of configuration options, which allow the above parameters, as well as a Gateway IP Address, to be configured. Quickstart options Choose one of the following Quickstart options: Web Browser Quickstart (Windows) - using the RG2-1TX Windows Utility. Choose this option if you have a networked Windows PC. Serial Quickstart using a direct serial connection. One would choose this option if you have no network, or the network is too slow. DHCP/BOOTP with TFTP - automatically from a local DHCP/BootP server - usually a Microsoft Windows NT or Linux server. The first option requires the RG2-1TX connected to an Ethernet network. The second option requires a Null-Modem serial configuration cable. The third option requires a configured DHCP or BootP server. If you do not know how to set-up a BootP server, ask your Network Administrator for help. 15

22 Note: throughout this manual, please refer to Chapter 9 - Technical Appendix - Cables for cable wiring diagrams. Entering Serial Configuration The serial configuration port is multiplexed with the serial application port. The following procedure should be followed to activate the serial configuration subsystem. Connect the DB-9 serial port of your RG2-1TX to an available COM port on your PC. Use a Null-Modem Crossed serial cable for this connection. Start a terminal emulation program e.g. HyperTerminal, ProComm, Mirror, Minicom or Telex. Configure your terminal emulation software with the following serial parameters: 9600 bps, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, No flow control. If you are using HyperTerminal as illustrated on the right, please ensure that it indicates the correct port settings and does not default to auto-detect. Reboot the RG2-1TX by cycling the power. The LEDs will all light briefly as the power is reset. HyperTerminal session The device will now pause for twenty seconds giving you an opportunity to enter the admin password. During the pause, the green heartbeat (HBT) LED is constantly lit. Type the password followed by the ENTER key. The factory default password is private. If the PAD does not recognise a valid password within the twenty-second interval, the boot procedure will start. This can be recognized by a rapidly blinking heartbeat LED. Once the boot process has completed, the heartbeat will revert to a steady beat of approximately once a second. If a valid password has been entered, and recognized by the RG2-1TX, the menu as shown below will be displayed. Option one, can be used to switch to the configuration menu. 22

23 Note: The RG2-1TX s configuration port is factory set to 9600 bps with No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit (9600, N, 8, 1). This can be changed via Custom Configuration Menu. These changes stay active until the RG2-1TX reboots after which the configuration port settings will return to the default settings.

25 Exiting the Session DHCP/BOOTP Quickstart Note: the RG2-1TX MAC address is printed on the side of your RG2-1TX, e.g. 00:02:B7:00:00:C0. Ensure that the RG2-1TX IP address is set to for both BootP and DHCP configuration. If you want to use BootP to configure the RG2-1TX, ask your Network Administrator to assign an IP number to your RG2-1TX MAC Address on the Network BootP server. Once this has been done, switch on the RG2-1TX power supply. It will start up, and after the twenty-second serial configuration period has elapsed, the red BootP (BTP) LED will switch on when sending a BootP Request to the network. When the BootP LED switches off, the RG2-1TX has been configured with an IP Address. If you are using DHCP ensure that the RG2-1TX IP address is set to and that your Network has a configured DHCP Server. Switch on the RG2-1TX power supply. It will start up, and after the twenty-second serial configuration period has elapsed, the red BootP (BTP) LED will switch on when sending a DHCP Request to the network. When the BootP LED switches off, the RG2-1TX has been configured with an IP Address from the range allocated to the DHCP server. Pinging the RG2-1TX Your RG2-1TX is now configured and you should be able to Ping the unit to confirm that the Network configuration is correct. Type ping [RG2-1TX IP ADDRESS] from your PC Run prompt. The arp a command can be used to confirm that the ping reply is from the RG2-1TX and not from a duplicate IP Address on the network. Compare the MAC Address returned with that of the RG2-1TX. 25

Browser: Click on [Networking] Network settings page Click to submit entries. Click to reset the table. MAC Address this is the hardware address of the RG2-1TX. This value is set at the factory and cannot be modified. IP Address the IP address of the RG2-1TX. This address must be unique on your local network. Setting the IP address to will cause the RG2-1TX to query a BootP/DHCP server to dynamically obtain its IP address and network settings. Network Mask sometimes referred to as the subnet mask, the Network Mask is used to derive the network address from the IP address. This value must be configured if you do not want to use BootP/DHCP. Gateway Address the IP address of the gateway that will forward IP packets to any destination host not on the local network. The default value of specifies that only hosts on the local network can be reached. 38

39 BootP/DHCP and TFTP: If the IP address is set to , the RG2-1TX will attempt to discover its network configuration by broadcasting a DHCP query on the local network. If a BootP/DHCP server replies, the RG2-1TX will configure its IP Address and Network Mask with the values assigned. Link Operation the speed of the Ethernet network, 10 mhz or 100 mhz, as well as the transmission mode half or full duplex. Autoselect will attempt to detect these values automatically. Domain Name Servers - enter the address of a DNS server. DNS are queried to resolve Hostnames to IP addresses. The following options control SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): SNMP Manager the IP address of the host running a SNMP manager. The default value of allows SNMP queries from any SNMP manager. Setting this field to any other value restricts SNMP queries from only that host. SNMP Trap Destination the IP address to which SNMP Traps are sent. The address will cause the SNMP Traps to be broadcast on the local subnet. The address will disable the SNMP Trap functionality. SNMP Read Only Password the password used to authenticate a read request from an SNMP Manager. Only SNMP variables that are defined as read-only can be read.

The client must then send the admin password terminated by either a Carriage Return and Line Feed (0x0D0A) sequence or the Null (0x00) character. After three attempts at the password, or 20 seconds, the RG2-1TX will close the network connection. Note: Authentication should not be enabled for TCP Applications that use the Redirector protocol. Access Control Rules If the Connection Type has been set to Passive: The Local TCP Port must be specified and may not be 0. If a Remote Host was specified, then network connections will only be allowed from that specific host. If the Remote TCP Port is not 0, then network connections will only be allowed from that TCP port on the remote host. If the Remote TCP Port is 0, then connections will be allowed from any port on the remote host. 43

44 If the Connection Type is set to Active or On-Demand: If Local TCP Port is not 0, then the RG2-1TX will use that port as the source port for the network connection. If Local TCP Port is 0, then the RG2-1TX will select a random local port as the source port for the network connection. The Remote Host must be specified and the Remote TCP Port must also be specified but may not be 0.

Return to Main menu Select 3. Device Interfaces Setting up the Device Interfaces Interface Number - the Serial Interface's name. This field is read-only and cannot be modified. 57

58 Data Bits - the number of data bits (5, 6, 7 or 8). The default is 8. Stop Bits - the number of stop bits (1 or 2). The default is 1. Parity - the parity setting (None, Odd, Even, Mark or Space). The default is None. Baud Rate - the application serial port speed. Serial data speeds of 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, and bps can be selected. The default is bps. Flow Control - the type of flow control to use. Supported types are None, Hardware (RTS/CTS) and Software (Xon/Xoff). The default is None. Note: Hardware Flow control cannot be used when the Connection Type is configured as RS485 or RS422. Software flow control cannot be used with RS485. Flow control: A mechanism for various communication devices to deal with one device sending data faster than the other can receive it. Flow control works by allowing one device to ask the other to pause while it catches up. There are two common types of flow control used: hardware and software. Flow control is not necessary when the transmission speed is very slow, such as 300 baud or 300 bits per second (bps), and the devices at each end are reasonably fast. Connection Type - The type of serial connection: RS232 full-duplex direct serial connection to the device. RS422 full-duplex 4-wire serial connection to the device. RS485 half-duplex 2-wire serial connection to the device. Maximum Message Length - once the RG2-1TX receives the specified number of bytes from the serial device, the received data is forwarded to the configured Device Applications. Valid values are 0 to 1024, with the default being 64 bytes. A value of 0 indicates that the maximum message length (1024) be used. Message Timeout -The maximum period (in milliseconds) the RG2-1TX will wait for a message to be received from the serial device before forwarding the received data to the Device Applications. Valid values are 0 to 60000, with the default being 100. A value of 0 specifies the maximum value of 60 seconds. Use Message Terminator Enable or Disable Message Terminator described below. Message Terminator - If enabled, the single character (decimal ASCII code 0 to 255) that is used to indicate the end of a message received from the serial device. The default is 13. For example, setting this value to 13 (carriage return) causes received serial data to be forwarded to the Device Applications immediately after receiving a Carriage Return character. 58

59 Note: If any combination of Maximum Message Length, Message Timeout or Message Terminator is configured, then the first condition to be met will cause the received serial data to be forwarded to the Device Applications.

66 Chapter 4 Command Line Configuration At a Glance Introduction This chapter provides detailed description of RG2-1TX Configuration using the Command line. Table of contents Topic Page Overview 67 Accessing the Command Line 67 Configuration Options 68 Configuration Variables 70 Scalar Configuration Variables 70 Application Configuration Variables 72 Worked Example 73 Configuration Options Reference 74 Non-Tabular Configuration Options 74 Static Options Needing an Index 75 Dynamic Options needing an index 75 66

67 Overview This chapter introduces the Command Line Configuration feature of RG2-1TX. One can use this feature to configure the RG2-1TX manually, but essentially this feature is provided so that the RG2-1TX can be configured using a scripting mechanism, from the device or TFTP. Using the command line allows you to change the values of each configuration variable and thus change the configuration of the RG2-1TX applications as well as networking and management settings, without having to access the configuration interactively using the more traditional menu-based configuration interfaces. You could thus configure the device without any human intervention, from within an application that is running on a PC and is capable of sending text or running macros. Accessing the Command Line The serial configuration port is multiplexed with the serial application port. The following procedure should be followed to activate the serial configuration subsystem. Connect the DB-9 serial port of your RG2-1TX to an available COM port on your PC. Use a Null-Modem Crossed serial cable for this connection. Start a terminal emulation program e.g. HyperTerminal, ProComm, Mirror, Minicom or Telex. Configure your terminal emulation software with the following serial parameters: 9600 bps, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, No flow control. If you are using HyperTerminal as illustrated on the right, please ensure that it indicates the correct port settings and does not default to auto-detect. Reboot the RG2-1TX by cycling the power. The LEDs will all light briefly as the power is reset. HyperTerminal session The device will now pause for twenty seconds giving you an opportunity to enter the admin password. During the pause, the green heartbeat (HBT) LED is constantly lit. Type the password. The factory default admin password is private. 67

68 If the PAD does not recognise a valid password within the twenty-second interval, the boot procedure will start. This can be recognized by a rapidly blinking heartbeat LED. Once the boot process has completed, the heartbeat will revert to a steady beat of approximately once a second. If a valid password has been entered, and recognized by the RG2-1TX, the menu as shown below will be displayed. Option one, can be used to switch to the configuration menu. Note: The RG2-1TX s configuration port is factory set to 9600 bps with No parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit (9600, N, 8, 1). This can be changed via Custom Configuration Menu. These changes stay active until the RG2-1TX reboots after which the configuration port settings will return to the default settings. Ensure that your terminal expands Carriage Returns to Carriage Return/Line Feed pairs (CR -> CR-LF) Selecting Configuration Option Type 1 to select 1.

Configuration Options Command Line Menu Available Commands For more detail on an available Command type help <command> for example help index. 69

70 Configuration Variables Scalar Configuration Variables The command line configuration in its simplest form consists of assigning a value to a configuration variable, for example the command: SnmpManager = Sets the IP address of the SNMP manager that is allowed to access the RG2-1TX s SNMP variables to To display the value of a configuration variable only the name is needed, for example typing: SnmpManager Yields the result: To view the possible values that can be assigned to a configuration variable the special value? can be used, for example: SnmpManager =? Yields the description: IP Address of the form Example The text in italics is the actual commands, for example: name = value In the following example the password of the RG2-1TX will be changed to newpasswd, the SNMP Manager IP address will be set to , the SNMP Trap Destination IP address will be set to and all these changes will be saved to non-volatile storage. AdminPassword = newpasswd ConfirmAdminPassword = newpasswd SnmpManager = SnmpTrapDest = SaveChangesAndReboot = yes 70

71 Note: To save the configuration the special variable SaveChangesAndReboot must be set to yes i.e. SaveChangesAndReboot = yes To reboot without changing the configuration set DiscardChangesAndReboot to yes i.e. DiscardChangesAndReboot = yes To revert to factory default configuration settings set RevertToFactoryDefaults to yes i.e. RevertToFactoryDefaults = yes Formal description of commands Function: Get or Set a configuration variable Declaration: <variablename> [ = <value>? ] Remarks: Set the contents of variablename to value or display the content of variablename or display all possible values that can be assigned to variablename. Example: Hostname = RG2-1TX Hostname =? Hostname Function: Exit from the Configuration Interface Declaration: Exit Example: EXIT Remarks: Exit from the command line configuration 71

72 Application Configuration Variables To access the configuration variables of an existing TCP application it must first be selected with the command: INDEX = tcpapp The rest of the fields can now be accessed using the standard name = value syntax, for example the commands: TcpConnectionType = on-demand TcpDataPort = 5001 TcpRemotePort = 8004 TcpRemoteHost = will change the connection type of the first TCP application to on-demand, the Remote TCP Port to 8003 and the Remote Host / IP Address to It is also possible to delete the TCP application. This can be done with the following command: DELROW TcpTable tcpapp To add it again just type ADDROW TcpTable tcpapp To access an existing UDP application the command: INDEX = udpapp must first be issued to select the UDP application. The rest of the fields can now be access using the standard name = value syntax, for example the commands UdpDataPort = 5003 UdpRemoteHost = host.somewhere.com UdpRemotePort = 6008 will configure a UDP application that accepts packets from UDP port 6008 of host.somewhere.com on local port 5003 of the RG2-1TX Like the TCP Application, the UDP application can be removed and added with the commands: and respectively. ADDROW UdpTable udpapp DELROW UdpTable udpapp 72

73 Command Line Examples Example 1 In this example the IP Address of the RG2-1TX is changed to and the Network Mask set to The serial parameters are then set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity for an RS232 connection type. A new UDP application is also created and configured. The changes are then saved to nonvolatile memory and the RG2-1TX rebooted. Note that the comments start with the hash # character # Set the IP Address and Network Mask of the RG2-1TX INDEX = eth0 # select the Ethernet interface IPAddress = # set the IP address NetworkMask = # Set the serial port parameters INDEX = com1 SerialDataBits = 8 SerialStopBits = 1 SerialParity = none SerialSpeed = 9600 SerialFlowControl = none SerialType = rs232 SerialProtocol = raw # Set serial packetizing parameters SerialMaxMessageLen = 256 SerialMessageTimeout = 500 # Configure a TCP application ADDROW TcpTable tcpapp INDEX = tcpapp TcpConnect = passive TcpDataPort = TX TcpRemoteHost = TcpRemotePort = 0 TcpProtocol = raw TcpAuthenticate = no # Configure a UDP application # set the network mask # selects the first serial port # use 8 data bits # use 1 stop bit # no parity # use 9600 baud # no flow control # use rs232 # no transformation of data # form packet after 256 bytes serial data received # form packet after 500 ms have elapsed # add a new TCP application # select thetcp application # accept incoming connections # incoming connections must connect to port 5050 on the RG2- # accept connections from any remote host # accept connections from any TCP port on the remote host # transfer TCP data without any conversion # do not authenticate incoming connections ADDROW UdpTable udpapp # add a new UDP application INDEX = udpapp # select the UDP application UdpInterfaceNumber = com1 # use the com1 interface UdpDataPort = 6001 # use port 6001 as local data port UdpRemoteHost = remotehost.com # only accept UDP packets from remotehost.com UdpRemotePort = 5001 # only accept UDP packets from port 5001 # Save the configuration changes to non-volatile storage SaveChangesAndReboot = yes 73

82 IP address assignment The default admin password is private. A Web Browser will now start giving you access to the RG2-1TX configuration Menu. Note: You must have a Web Browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer installed on your PC for this utility to work. Redirector Software We recommend the use of the redirector utility supplied by TACTICAL Software. An evaluation version is supplied on the Configuration and Utility CD. Using COM Port Redirector Software The Redirector Software works on the following principle: Many applications can only communicate with a serial port. Creating a virtual serial port that is seen by the application as a regular COM port attached to a PC circumvents this limitation. The redirector software then redirects any data addressed to this COM port to an IP address and TCP port associated with a RG2-1TX. Any data received by the PC for the RG2-1TX is redirected to the virtual serial port and on to the application. Changes in control line status is passed seamlessly to between the application and the RG2-1TX. 82

83 Principle of Software redirection Tactical Software s Serial/IP Redirector This is Third Party Software and a user license must be purchased. As some users have been having difficulty in the installation and use of this utility, a brief explanation on its installation, configuration and use is included. To set up Tactical Software's redirector you need to follow these steps: This software you will find under Read the License and click on [I Agree]. License Agreement 83

85 Enter Name, Company and Serial number If you are installing an evaluation copy, leave all the fields empty and click [OK]. Click [Finish] to complete the installation. Installation complete 85

86 Selecting and configuring virtual COM ports Choose a COM port or selection of COM ports you wish to virtually create and use with the redirector. Do not choose an actual COM port that actually exists on your machine. Use Control Panel/System/Hardware to check what the COM ports are installed on your machine. They would typically be COM1 and COM2. If you really need to use COM1 or COM2, (your application may only have these as options) you have to disable the COM ports on your PC or reassign them. (For example, COM3 and COM4). You can then allocate COM1 and COM2 to virtual ports. Selecting a virtual COM port/s The Serial IP Manager After you have restarted your PC, the Serial IP manager should start up in the background (small icon on bottom right hand corner of your lower taskbar). Open the Serial IP manager. Set the following options for each of the virtual COM ports. Presets <<No Preset>> IP Address of Server - IP address of the RG2-1TX you wish to redirect your software to. Port Number - Must be the LOCAL TCP PORT of the RG2-1TX you wish to redirect to. Username - No entry required Password - No entry required Connection Protocol - TELNET COM Port Options - Leave options unchecked Serial IP Manager 86

87 Setting up the virtual COM port parameters Click [Configure] Click the Select DOS/INT14 Settings option. Virtual COM port parameters Set up the parameters of the virtual COM port so that it has the same serial parameters as the application is expecting. Click the [OK] button to complete the configuration. RG2-1TX Configuration for use with Redirector Software Make sure the RG2-1TX is configured in the following way: Add and Configure a TCP Application by following the [Serial Application] link from the RG2-1TX Home Page. Configure the RG2-1TX with the same IP address and Local Port number as you entered above. The REMOTE TCP PORT must be set to 0 and the REMOTE IP ADDRESS field must be left empty. The TCP Protocol must be set to Redirector. Make sure your serial application port is set up correctly with the same values with which you configured the virtual port. (This is strictly not necessary using handshaking, the application will tell the Redirector, and the Redirector will tell the RG2-1TX what serial parameters to use) Connect your device to the RG2-1TX using the same cable as you would use to connect the serial device to a serial port on a PC. Connect the RG2-1TX to an Ethernet network. Make sure that your PC and your RG2-1TX have compatible IP addresses and Network (subnet) mask. Start your application and select the virtual port (e.g. COM6) you created above. Run your application as normal. 87

88 Debugging the Redirector The Manager has a TRACE WINDOW that you can use to monitor data going through the virtual port. You have to check the ENABLE TRACE window to use this option. The Trace Window is accessed via the Configuration option in the Serial/IP Manager window. Trace window 88

Connect the RG2-1TX s DB-9 serial configuration port to an available serial port on your workstation using the configuration cable. 90

91 Start a terminal emulation program e.g. HyperTerminal, ProComm, Mirror, Minicom or Telex. Configure your terminal emulation software with the following serial parameters: 9600 bps, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, No flow control. If you are using HyperTerminal as illustrated on the right, please ensure that it indicates the correct port settings and does not default to auto-detect. Reboot the RG2-1TX by cycling the power. The LEDs will all light briefly as the power is reset HyperTerminal session The device will now pause for twenty seconds giving you an opportunity to enter the admin password. During the pause, the green heartbeat (HBT) LED, is constantly lit. Type the password. The factory default password is private. If the RG2-1TX does not recognise a valid password within the twentysecond interval, the boot procedure will start. This can be recognized by a rapidly blinking heartbeat LED. Once the boot process has completed, the heartbeat will revert to a steady beat of approximately once a second. If a valid password has been entered and recognized by the RG2-1TX, the menu as shown below will be displayed. Option two can be used to switch to the upgrade menu. Type 2 to select 2.

This can be achieved using a straight network cable. Crossed 10/100BaseT Ethernet Cable When testing, it may be convenient to connect the RG2-1TX directly to a computer s network card without the use of a hub. This can be achieved using a crossed network cable. 107

108 Crossed Serial Cable In order for a computer (or other device) to communicate with the RG2-1TX s RS232 application port, a simple 3-wire crossed cable is usually sufficient. (If hardware-based handshaking is required then see Full Crossed Serial Cable.) The three wires should be connected as follows, using either a 9-pin or 25-pin connector for the computer s serial port. PC 9-pin DB-F PC 25-pin. DB-F 2 RxD 3 RxD 3 TxD 2 TxD 5 GND 7 GND Serial cable: 9-pin crossed Full Crossed Serial Cable In order to connect the RG2-1TX s RS232 application port to another DTE class device (such as a computer) a simple Crossed Serial Cable is often sufficient. However, some applications may require the use of hardware-based flow control. Handshaking allows for higher data rates. In this case, a seven-wire cable should be connected as follows, using either a 9-pin or a 25-pin connector for the computer s serial port. PC 9-pin DB-F PC 25-pin DB-F 2 RxD 3 RxD 3 TxD 2 TxD 4 DTR 20 DTR 5 GND 7 GND 6 DSR 6 DSR 7 RTS 4 RTS 8 CTS 5 CTS Serial cable: full crossed 108

109 Null-Modem Crossed Serial Cable When attempting to use a simple Crossed Serial Cable to connect a DTE class device (such as a computer) to the RG2-1TX s RS232 application port, some devices will not transmit any data unless their DSR and CTS signals are asserted. An easy way to fix this is to simply drive these signals using the device s own DTR signal. In this the three wires should be connected as follows, using either a 9-pin or 25-pin connector for the computer s serial port, and the indicated loops should be added. PC 9-pin DB-F PC 25-pin DB-F 2 RxD 3 RxD 3 TxD 2 TxD 5 GND 7 GND 4 DTR 20 DTR 6 DSR 6 DSR 8 CTS 5 CTS cable: Null Modem crossed Straight Serial Cable In order to connect the RG2-1TX s RS232 application port to a DCE class device (such as a modem) a straight serial cable should normally be used. In this case, a nine-wire cable should be connected as follows, using either a 9-pin or a 25-pin male connector for the DCE class device. DCE 9-pin DB-M DCE 25-pin DB-M 1 RI 22 RI 2 RxD 3 RxD 3 TxD 2 TxD 4 DTR 20 DTR 5 GND 7 GND 6 DSR 6 DSR 7 RTS 4 RTS 8 CTS 5 CTS 9 CD 8 CD Serial cable: Straight 109
