CN2510 User’s Manual Getting Started Hardware Installation Desktop Place your CN2510 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the desktop kit to the bottom of the unit, and leave some space between the CN2510 and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this might damage the server. Pads Bottom of CN2510 Rackmount CN2510 is designed to be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack.
CN2510 User’s Manual Getting Started Wiring Requirements ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your CN2510. Wiring Caution! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
CN2510 User’s Manual NOTE Getting Started Use 8 kg-cm of screw torque and 22-14 AWG electric wire to connect CN2510-8/16-48V’s power cord to its terminal block. Grounding CN2510-8/16-48V ON OFF V+ V- Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting serial devices to CN2510.
CN2510 User’s Manual NOTE Getting Started If your network is already set up, telnet over the network to CN2510’s IP address to access the Console Utility.

After uncompressing the file ASPP.tar, the folder \aspp_unix\aspp.h will contain several basic subroutines. The following subroutines are used to control an ASPP port: 1. sio_init()—start ASPP Library 2. sio_open(ipaddr, p)—open a serial port 3. sio_close(fd)—close a serial port 4.

6 Chapter 6 Setting Up Raw UDP UDP is a non connection-oriented data transmission method. By circumventing TCP’s handshaking process, UDP gains the advantages of fast transmission speed, and high transmission efficiency. The disadvantage is that UDP is unable to guarantee data integrity, since UDP does not re-assemble out-of-order packets, or retransmit packets when data is missing.

CN2510 User’s Manual Setting Up Printer Setting up Unix Hosts UNIX uses the RLP program for remote parallel printing. For serial printing, Moxa provides the asprint utility program, which consists of two files, asprint.c and asprint.mak. First uncompress printer.tar.Z to the \printer directory, and then locate the files asprint.c and asprint.mak. To compile and link, you may need to modify the source file asprint.c. For instance, in SCO UNIX you must link to the libnls.a library, in Solaris to libnsl.

12 Chapter 12 Setting Up Multiplex In this chapter, we describe how to configure Moxa CN2510 as a Multiplexor and De-Multiplexor. Using the Multiplexor/De-Multiplexor application requires two Async Servers—one attached to a host with a multi-port serial board and several serial lines, and the other connected to external devices. In this way, the original host can use a TCP/IP connection to control serial devices from a remote location.

CN2510 User’s Manual Setting Up Multiplexor Selecting the Application The Multiplex application uses two Async Servers. One of the servers (called the “host” CN2510) is attached to a host with a multi-port serial board and mutiple serial lines. The other server (called the “device” CN2510) is connected to external serial devices. In this way, one host can use a TCP/IP connection to control multiple serial devices from a remote location. We use ports 5, 6, 7, and 8 on both CN2510’s to illustrate.

13 Chapter 13 Setting Up Routing Routing is the main process used by Internet hosts to deliver packets. The Internet uses a hop-by-hop routing model, which means that each host or router that handles a packet examines the Destination Address in the IP header, computes the next hop that will bring the packet one step closer to its destination, and then delivers the packet to the next hop, where the process is repeated.

CN2510 User’s Manual Setting Up Routing What is RIP? RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a protocol used widely to manage routing information within a self-contained network, such as a corporate LAN (Local Area Network) or an interconnected group of such LANs. By using RIP, a gateway host with a router can send its entire routing table, which lists all the other hosts it knows about, to its closest neighbor host every 30 seconds.
CN2510 User’s Manual 3. Setting Up Routing Use the Up/Down arrow keys to move the cursor to the Routing protocol pop-up selector. Press Enter to see the options. Select RIP-1 or RIP-2. The RIP setting is only for sending packets. For receiving packets, CN2510 supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2.

This causes CN2510 to act as a router and send the datagram to the default next-hop router, 203.67.6.254. In this case we should add the default gateway IP address (203.67.6.254) to the routing table, as shown in the following figure, to handle hops to any destination beyond the local network (203.67.6).

A Appendix A Troubleshooting In this appendix, we give solutions to various problems you may come across when using CN2510.
CN2510 User’s Manual Troubleshooting Console Terminal Problems Problem: No message is displayed on the console terminal. Solutions: ¾ Check to see if the terminal is set to 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. ¾ Check to see if the RS-232 cable is wired correctly. The console needs CTS/DCD signals to trigger. Refer to the “Cable Wiring” section in Appendix D. ¾ The console may be blocked waiting for an event. Press ESC to try unblocking.
CN2510 User’s Manual Troubleshooting Question: If I forget the password for my CN2510, what should I do? Solution: ¾ Press the Reset button on the CN2510’s front panel for more than 5 seconds. The password stored in the Flash ROM will be erased. In addition, all settings will be reset to their factory default values. CN2510 will beep twice when the configuration has been reset. Refer to Chapter 1 for more details.
CN2510 User’s Manual Troubleshooting Question: My application involves connecting the console port of a CISCO router/switch to a Moxa Async Server serial port. I connect to the CISCO router/switch console by Telnet over the network from a remote site. Why does the CISCO router/switch receive two “Enter＂ commands even though I only pressed the “Enter” key once? Solution: ¾ The “Enter” Map keys of Async server are , causing the CISCO router to receive two commands instead of one.
CN2510 User’s Manual Troubleshooting How to Save CN2510’s Parameters Question: How can I save CN2510’s parameters to recover from unexpected power failures, or to transfer the same parameters to another CN2510? Solutions: ¾ After entering the Console screen, select seTting Æ Export, and press Enter. Then you can use XMODEM for a Windows host, or RCP for a UNIX host, to save the parameters to a file. CN2510-8 CN2510-8_5631 V2.
