1 1. About this Manual Thank you for purchasing Moxa’s managed DSL Ethernet extender. Read this user’s manual to learn how to connect your DSL Ethernet extender to Ethernet-enabled devices in industrial applications. The following two chapters are covered in this user manual: Getting Started This chapter explains the initial installation process for the DSL Ethernet extender. There are three ways to access configuration settings: serial console, Telnet console, and web console.
2 2. Getting Started This chapter explains how to install a Moxa DSL Ethernet extender for the first time. There are three ways to access the configuration settings: serial console, Telnet console, and web console. If you do not know the DSL Ethernet extender’s IP address, you can open the serial console by connecting the DSL Ethernet extender to a PC’s COM port with a short serial cable. You can open the Telnet or web console over an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Getting Started Serial Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100) NOTE • You cannot connect to the serial and Telnet console at the same time. • You can connect to the web console and another console (serial or Telnet) at the same time. However, we strongly recommend that you do NOT do so. Following this advice will allow you to maintain better control over the Moxa DSL Ethernet extender’s configuration.

Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Product Overview MOXA’s IEX series are entry-level managed DSL Ethernet extenders that allow you to extend the point-to-point Ethernet connections over DSL technology in a cost-effective way. With the IEX series, networks can be set up without additional fiber upgrades or reconstruction by leveraging existing copper wiring resources. Compliant with G.SHDSL.bis and VDSL2 standards, the IEX-402-SHDSL series supports data rates of up to 15.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions 1st DIP switch: CO/CPE Assignment The DSL Ethernet extenders need to work in pairs with one unit designated as a CO (central office) device and the other as a CPE (customer premise equipment) device. In addition to manual configuration by selecting the DIP switch settings (CO/CPE) on both devices, the IEX series can also perform automatic CO/CPE designation when both extenders are set as CO devices (all IEX series extenders are set as CO by default).
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions 3rd DIP Switch: Annex A/Annex B Assignment (IEX-402-SHDSL Series Only) Generally, DSL supports different band plans and modulations for transmission over POTS or ISDN. For point-to-point applications, the Annex A/Annex B selection refers to the cable type between DSL ports of both devices. If the cable is US-Type/0.5mm, please configure as ANNEX A. Otherwise, please set as default ANNEX B.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions System Identification System Identification items are displayed at the top of the web console and will be included in alarm emails. You can configure the System Identification items to make it easier to identify different DSL Ethernet extenders that are connected to your network.

If line condition degrades (reducing SNR) but the device is able to maintain the link, the DSL SNR/SPEED LED is the indicator to notify user of the reduced SNR.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Ethernet Link-Down Mode If either the CO or CPE Ethernet link is down, the IEX series will disable the corresponding Ethernet connection so that data can no longer be sent but keeps the DSL connection alive. As a result, Ethernet-enabled devices such as the switch or end devices connected to the DSL Ethernet extenders will be notified about the failed connection.

The upgrade procedure will proceed automatically after clicking Import.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Configuring SNMP The Moxa DSL Ethernet extender supports SNMP V1, V2c, and V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the community strings public and private by default. SNMP V3 requires that you select an authentication level of MD5 or SHA, and is the most secure protocol.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions SNMP Read/Write Settings SNMP Versions Setting Description Factory Default V1, V2c, V3, or Specifies the SNMP protocol version used to manage the DSL V1, V2c V1, V2c, or V3 only Ethernet extender. V1, V2c Read Community Setting Description Factory Default Max. 30 characters Specifies the community string to authenticate the SNMP agent Public for read-only access.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Trap Settings SNMP traps allow an SNMP agent to notify the NMS of a significant event. The DSL Ethernet extender supports two SNMP modes, Trap mode and Inform mode. SNMP Trap Mode—Trap In Trap mode, the SNMP agent sends a SNMPv1 trap PDU to the NMS. No acknowledgment is sent back from the NMS so the agent has no way of knowing if the trap reached the NMS. SNMP Trap Mode—Inform SNMPv2 provides an inform mechanism.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Using Auto Warning Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial DSL Ethernet extender that connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm messages.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Configuring Email Settings Mail Server IP/Name Setting Description Factory Default IP address The IP Address of your email server. None Setting Description Factory Default SMTP port Display the SMTP port number 25 Setting Description Factory Default Max. 45 of charters Your email account.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender NOTE Featured Functions Auto warning e-mail messages will be sent through an authentication protected SMTP server that supports the CRAM-MD5, LOGIN, and PAIN methods of SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) authentication mechanism. We strongly recommend not entering your Account Name and Account Password if auto warning e-mail messages can be delivered without using an authentication mechanism.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions LLDP Function Overview LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 protocol defined by IEEE 802.11AB. LLDP standardizes the self-identification advertisement method, and allows each networking device, such as a Moxa managed DSL Ethernet extender, to periodically send its system and configuration information to its neighbors.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Featured Functions Using Monitor You can monitor statistics in real time from the Moxa DSL Ethernet extender’s web console and serial console.

Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Quick Diagnosis and Easy Management On-site Troubleshooting The LED indicators of IEX series provides complete system and link status for quick on-site troubleshooting. When the system boots up, the connected pairs will start the CO/CPE detection before negotiating the connection speed over the DSL link. The CO/CPE LEDs will alternate colors (between green and amber) until both devices have finalized the setting.
Moxa Managed DSL Ethernet Extender Quick Diagnosis and Easy Management Remote Management The virtual panel in the web-based browser and SNMP protocols allows the IEX series to be remotely managed at a glance and allows the devices to be managed by Moxa’s MXview network management software for total network manageability. NOTE Please download the IEX MXview plug-in for MXview 2.2 or older versions.
