Configuration MoRoS Modem/ISDN 5 Configuration The configuration of the MoRoS takes place via a network connection between MoRoS and a PC. Configuration requirements: ¾ a PC with network card. ¾ an Internet browser (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Konqueror or Internet Explorer). The operating system of the PC is irrelevant for the configuration. The operating system must support TCP/IP, it must be possible to use the built-in network card, and a web browser must be installed.
Configuration MoRoS Modem/ISDN Under “Control Panel” is located the menu item “Network Connections”. Under this item, you will find the entry “Local Area Connection”. If this entry is not available yet, it has to be selected the network installation assistant first to activate the network card. Right-click on the item “Local Area Connection” to go to “Local Area Connection Properties”.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Configuration Mark the option ”Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click on “Properties” to go to the settings to be configured. Set the IP address in the new window. We recommend entering 192.168.1.2 as the IP address. We recommend selecting "Obtain DNS server address automatically" for the DNS setting. All DNS inquiries which cannot be handled within the local network will be sent to the MoRoS.
Configuration MoRoS Modem/ISDN If there is already a DNS server in the local network, its IP address can be entered at this point. The MoRoS has the IP address 192.168.1.1. This address must be stated as the standard gateway. For the sub network mask, the number 255.255.255.0 must be entered. The DNS server addresses can be entered optionally. It is required if domain names should be handled. 5.1.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Configuration Select the protocol “TCP/IP” and click on Properties. Set the IP addresses on the tab “IP Address“. We recommend entering 192.168.1.2 as the IP address. The MoRoS has the IP address 192.168.1.1. Enter 255.255.255.0 as sub network mask. Enter the IP address of the MoRoS, 192.168.1.1, on the tab "Gateway". This route is activated after you click “Add”. Windows 98 must be restarted after all settings are completed. 5.1.
Configuration MoRoS Modem/ISDN To prevent unauthorized access, the MoRoS provides an access control. The default settings are as follows: ¾ User name: insys ¾ Password: moros After successful authentication, the start page of the configuration interface is displayed. The individual function blocks of the MoRoS can be selected from the buttons on the left side. Basically, all settings are stored in the device after clicking “OK”. After a restart or a voltage failure, the MoRoS reloads those settings.

Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN 6 Functions 6.1 Basic settings The access to the settings of the MoRoS is protected from unauthorized access by a password query. The password is displayed by asterisks. If the user name and the password can no longer be identified, a device reset of the MoRoS will reset it to factory defaults.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions It is mandatory to enter an IP address and a network mask. The IP address is the address of the MoRoS in the Local Area Network. After sending the changes to the MoRoS by clicking “OK”, the new addresses will be valid immediately. This will immediately terminate the connection to the MoRoS. To be able to continue the configuration, the new IP address must be entered in the browser window. The MAC address is unambiguous for each MoRoS. It may not be modified and is unique.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN 6.2 DHCP The MoRoS can be operated as DHCP client or DHCP server. Only one of the two services may be active simultaneously. Both services may be deactivated. These settings only apply to the local LAN. Recommended settings: ¾ If no further network subscribers will be connected to the MoRoS after the initial installation, the DHCP client as well as the DHCP server should be deactivated. All network subscribers must be assigned a static IP address.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions address from now on. When the MoRoS receives its IP address dynamically as a DHCP client, you must make sure that its current address is known to the connected devices as gateway address. MoRoS as DHCP server: If the MoRoS is operated as DHCP server, it will assign IP addresses to the connected network participants which are configured as DHCP clients on request. The MoRoS keeps its set IP address.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN The MoRoS ISDN can be assigned a phone number in the field "MSN" (Multiple Subscriber Number). From this time on the ISDN-TA can only be reached with this phone number. Alternatively, "*" may be entered. In this case, the ISDN-TA responds to all incoming calls. This is the standard setting. This setting, however, may result in problems with other bus participants at the S0 bus.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions The country-specific settings of the modem are loaded in the field “Country code”. Use the list box to select the required country. The country code is displayed in brackets behind the country name. The country code may be identical for several countries. The radio button “Wait for Dialtone” can be set to “Yes” if the modem should wait for a dial tone before it initiates an outgoing call.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN Enter a value for “Idle time” to set the time after which a Dial-In connection is automatically terminated, if no data is transmitted during the set time. The setting “0” will prevent the automatic termination of the connection. In this case, a connection remains established until the remote terminal terminates the connection. The maximum number of seconds is 2.147.483.468 (24,85 days).
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions Authentication Protocol). The setting “CHAP” also includes the variants MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2. After a call is accepted, a PPP (Peer-to-Peer) connection is established. The MoRoS and the device that performs the Dial-In form an individual network. The MoRoS assigns the IP address stored above to the remote terminal.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN switch are being sent to the gateway. The gateway address is only used for existing DialIn connections. Click “OK” to store the settings. 6.6 Dial-Out This setting activates the function “Dial-Out”. All other settings are ignored if “No” is selected at this point. To enable the MoRoS to automatically establish a connection, the IP address of the MoRoS must be entered as standard gateway at the machines which should trigger a connection.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions If the MoRoS is connected to a phone system, it may be necessary to enter the prefix “0” and/or “,” before the phone number. Enter a value for “Idle time” to set the time after which a Dial-Out connection is automatically terminated, if no data is transmitted during the set time. The connection is only then terminated automatically if no data packets are transmitted during the entire "Idle time".
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN The MoRoS is equipped with a dialing filter which prevents certain data packets to immediately result in a connection setup and therefore costs. Deactivating the dialing filter directs each data packet that is aimed at an IP address outside of the LAN to a DialIn at the remote terminal. The dialing rules are that ports are entered in the first table, and IP addresses are entered in the second table. Empty fields are also permitted, they will be ignored. Invalid entries (e.g.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions trigger a dial-up connection. In the second line, all IP addresses of the machine may be entered which are not allowed to trigger a dial-up connection. Data packets sent to the IP addresses in the third line will result in a connection setup. Data packets sent to IP addresses in the fourth line will not result in a connection setup. Basically, the following applies: ¾ All rules allowing a connection are linked with “OR”.
Functions 6.7 MoRoS Modem/ISDN Inputs This shows all states of the digital MoRoS inputs. The button “Refresh” will reload the page and update the status display. The inputs can be used to visualize testing the failure of a machine, for example. 6.8 Outputs This shows all states of the digital MoRoS outputs. The button “Refresh” will reload the page and update the status display.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions Use the radio buttons to switch the digital outputs. Click "OK" for an automatic update. One application using this output would be the ability to remotely switch a device within the LAN on and off. This is often the only possibility for reactivating a device that does no longer respond to network commands. 6.9 System Use these fields to enter the system time and date.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN continent (e.g. Europe/Berlin). For the latter, the country-specific time settings will be considered, such as the daylight savings time in Germany. The set time for this time zone will be accepted after clicking “OK”. Two reset types are available: ¾ Hard reset o by interrupting the supply voltage, or o by pressing the reset key for more than 3 seconds. ¾ Soft reset o by pressing the reset key for no longer than 1 second, or o by reset via the configuration interface.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Functions A software (firmware) update can be performed here. This function should only be used with the utmost care. Do not perform an update if it is not absolutely necessary. In case of an error during the update process it may occur that the MoRoS can not be started afterwards. Before each update, you must under all circumstances follow the notes of the text file, which is supplied together with the update file.
Functions MoRoS Modem/ISDN As the writing of the update may take up to one minute, the values for the “Idle time” should read "0", because no data is transmitted during the writing process. The system update will be performed on the remote MoRoS despite a terminated connection. Any possible messages regarding the success or failure will not be displayed. If an error took place during the overwriting of the old system, the update procedure may be repeated.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN Proxy 7 Proxy The MoRoS has a built-in proxy server. It buffers HTTP pages which were queried via a Dial-Out connection from the MoRoS from a remote network (Internet or other LAN). The usage of the proxy server is optional. If a PC is configured in a way that it uses the proxy server and performs a HTTP query, the MoRoS will buffer this requested page. This page will then be available as a copy from the MoRoS the next time this page is required.
Proxy MoRoS Modem/ISDN Select the tab “Connections” and click on the button “LAN Settings…” in the box “Local Area Network (LAN) Settings” to access the configuration. In the box “Proxy server” has to be entered the “Address” of the MoRoS IP address. Use “8888” as port. We recommend activating the checkbox “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN 7.2 Proxy Reload Function In case the MoRoS has currently no active dial-up connection and the function “Dial-Out” is active, a query for a HTTP site will result in the MoRoS establishing a dial-up connection. For the MoRoS Modem, establishing this connection may take some time, due to the technology. After some time, the browser will report that the page cannot be found. Now, it has to be attempted to restart the page using the reload function of the browser.
FAQ MoRoS Modem/ISDN 8 FAQ In the following some questions are described, which – from experience – may occur during the installation. The configuration page of the MoRoS cannot be found. The browser window shows an error message. Possible causes: ¾ The network cable between MoRoS and the PC was not properly connected. ¾ The cables for the network and the modem or ISDN were exchanged. ¾ A wrong IP address was entered in the URL bar. ¾ The PC is not in the same network as the MoRoS.
MoRoS Modem/ISDN FAQ only try to call this number after 2 hours. The status “blacklisted” can also be deleted by performing a hard reset (pressing the reset key more than 3 seconds). No connection between the MoRoS Modem and the MoRoS ISDN can be established. This is not an error! A connection between analogue connections and ISDN connections is in general not possible anyways. A connection to a remote LAN could be established, but a communication with a computer in the remote LAN is not possible.
FAQ MoRoS Modem/ISDN The configuration interface acts “funny”: The MoRoS does not accept the interface configuration. Possible cause: ¾ After the configuration of a page, the button “Restart” or "Reload” in the browser was clicked to check if the configuration was accepted. Please do not click this browser button at any time, as this key does not only update the content of the current window, but also repeats the entire previous configuration step.
