Chapter 1 Product Overview The EverAccess EA-LAN1 Network Adapter is a serial to TCP/IP adapter that enables users to manage the EverAccess Flex Series controllers securely and conveniently over a TCP/IP network. The EA-LAN1 should be installed in an enclosure with the controller, and one EA-LAN1 is needed for each controller to be accessed over the network.
E V E R F O C U S E L E C T R O N I C S C O R P O R A T I O N • Set the rights of different levels according to the user, IP address and MAC address • Provides real COM drive under WINDOWS NT/2000/XP • Provides Static Route settings • Provides setup interface of menu in Chinese and English and WEB setup interface • Supports state monitoring • Convenient online update through flash ROM 2
Chapter 2 Installation Overview The EA-LAN1 provides convenient remote management of the controller over the internet or local area network. There are a few steps to follow to properly install the EA-LAN1 and ensure proper connection. An overview of these steps is given below, and the rest of this guide is devoted to a detailed description of the process.
Locating the EA-LAN1 and Changing the IP Address 1) Run the upgrade.exe software from the CD included with the EA-LAN1. 2) If the server is connected to the same network as the PC used with this software, click the “Magnifier” button to search for the server. If the server is not connected to the same LAN as the PC, go to step 3 below. 3) Usually, the IP address of the server and the PC are not in the same network. The PC can connect to the network by adding a route. 4) Add a route.
5) Now, set a temporary IP address for the server in the same network by clicking on “Tools” and selecting “Temporary change IP address”. 6) Type in the IP address of the PC and press “OK” Click “OK” 7) Now you can enter the setting for the server using Web browser under windows. Please refer to the section “ Configuring the EA-LAN1”. Configuring the EA-LAN1 You can use the Web browser to configure the server. Place the server’s IP address in the browser and press enter.
1) Click on “Mode” of the menu on the left side and choose the corresponding Port (Port1) 2) Choose the Port mode setting for “TCP realport” option from the “Mode” menu. 3) Click on “Submit” button. 4) Click on “Async” from the menu on the left side and choose the corresponding Port (Port 1).
5) Make sure the “Baud” rate is 9600, the “data” is 8, the “stop” bit is 1, the “Parity” is “n”, the “Flowctrl” is “none”. For the “Type”, choose the type of connection you wish to use. a. For RS232 connection, choose “RS232” b. For RS485 connection, choose “RS485_HALF” 6) Click “Submit” button. 7) Click on “Save Configurations” on the left side. 8) Click “Save” button to save configurations. 9) Click on “Reboot” on the left side. 10) Click the “Reboot” button.
Connecting the EA-LAN1 to the controller The EA-LAN1 has three inputs: Power, Ethernet connection (RJ45) and a serial communication (DB9) connection. The EA-LAN1 uses a 5Volts/1Amphere direct current power source. This power must be provided at its input on the server to turn and run the server. The EA-LAN1 connects to the network using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. This Ethernet cable must be provided at its input on the server for the server to be able to connect to the network.

• How to Map the COM Ports over TCP/IP How to Install COM Port over TCP/IP Driver 1) Run 60x_2k_4.1 .1 in CD-ROM. 2) Click “Yes” to begin the installation of the terminal server. 3) Click “Next” 4) To keep the installation directory the same, click “Next”, other wise choose a different directory to install the driver.
5) Then click “Install” 6) Then click “Finish” to complete the installation.
7) Now the driver is installed in your PC. How to Map the COM Ports over TCP/IP 1) Click “Start” on your desktop and choose “Control Panel”. Double click the “COM port over TCP/IP”. A new window appears. 2) Choose a free COM Port and click the “Map” button to configure its parameters. Please configure the COM port, IP address, Device Port, Keep Alive, status Report at one time.
a) COM port: is the COM port resource that WINDOWS uses. b) Device IP address: is the IP address of server. c) Device Port: is the number of serial ports to be mapped to the server. d) Keeplive: is the TTL (time-to-live) of serial port; it is normally set as 300 second. Usually 300 for TCP/IP. e) Status Report: is the status report. 3) Click the “OK” button. 4) Click “Save” button and the settings of the COM port become completely effective.
