2. RS485 CONNECTION To be connected to the serial line all the Dixell Modbus instruments must be provided with direct RS485 terminals or the “TTL”-RS485 interface (XJRS485 or XJ485). Check the instrument manuals for more information. The RS485 line is mainly based on two polarised terminals. Please pay respect to the right sequence for all the devices connected to the serial line. Follow these important instructions: The RS485 serial line must reach all the instruments where they are installed.
Wrong connection Always keep the serial cable away from power cables. Always keep the serial cable away from Electro-magnetic or frequency sources. Do not connect shield to ground. Do not connect the “Gnd (ground)” terminal. Remember to draw a map of the line. This will help you to find errors if something is wrong. The instrument with RS485 have “+” and “-“ terminals, respect the polarity.
The TTL output The instrument with RS485 on board does not need any kind of external interface module. For instruments with an external interface: keep the TTL cable away from power cables or frequency sources. The XJ485 external interface must be connected with a TTL cable to the instrument with TTL compatibility. Serial address of the instruments Each instrument must be defined by its unique address. Check the address into the Adr parameter value of each instruments.
3. MODEM CONNECTION (“or point to point connection”) It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet / Ethernet / internet) is not available.

4. INTRANET/ETHERNET CONNECTION The Intranet or Ethernet connection should be initially managed by the net administrator which will assign one free IP address to reach the Server. This number is an example of what you should expect: http://192.168.000.111. After receiving the address from your network Administrator the XWEB 500 must be set with this number. The Intranet method allows the connection to interact with XWEB 500 from all the PC Clients.
5. INTERNET CONNECTION It is necessary to have a STATIC IP address for the XWEB 500 which is normally assigned by the Provider of your internet services (ISP). The Internet connection allows XWEB to be reached from all PC-clients. Insert the net address assigned by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised name for the future connections. Ask your provider for more details about the rent of a the static IP.
ALWAYS: ask qualified personnel for the router installation by using this information. Used ports that are mapped to the LAN side: 80 (used for the HTTP access) 22 (used for SSH connection) While the ports on the WAN side are: Telnet (to configure the router from a remote, also via Internet). HTTP (To access the XWEB 500). If working with the router GATEWAY and DNS check your Internet contract details. Depending on your network topology you may need a reverse NAT on port 80.
