Chapter 1 General Information Chapter 1 General Information The ETC2002 Network Communicator is a multi-port Internet-to-serial and Internet-to-wireless ZigBee gateway that connects multiple serial RS485/422 or wireless ZigBee devices to the Internet via a local Ethernet network or via public telephone lines. It can also be used as an Internet-toInternet router for connecting master stations to remote slave devices that are directly connected to the Internet.

Chapter 2 Installation Electrical Installation Ethernet Connection Plug the end of the Ethernet cable that came with your device into the wall Ethernet jack or into the Ethernet hub jack, and the other end into the RJ45 jack at the front of the ETC2002 marked COM1/ETHERNET. Figure 2-12 Network Connections See Internet Connections in Chapter 3 and Configuring the Network in Chapter 5 for instructions on how to program your device for networking via Ethernet.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Controls and Indicators Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Controls and Indicators PROG-RUN Switch The ETC2002 has a PROG-RUN switch that puts the device into program mode for local servicing and programming. The switch must be in the RUN position for normal device operation. Put the PROG-RUN switch in the PROG position for setting up your device or upgrading device firmware via a Terminal program (see Using HyperTerminal in Chapter 4 for instructions).
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Modes of Operation Modes of Operation Operational Mode In the operational mode, the device services the Internet to serial gateway connections from client applications, and the COM3 port operates in slave mode allowing serial-to-serial network connections. To put the ETC2002 into operational mode, set the PROG-RUN switch in the RUN position.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 A wireless network is used as a transparent media for delivering Modbus RTU messages. To identify devices on the network, each slave node is assigned a network ID that is identical to the device Modbus address. See Configuring Wireless RF Connections in Chapter 5 for information on configuring the IP-Link module parameters in the ETC2002. Internet Connections Starting with V21.5.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 See Configuring Dial-Up Connections in Chapter 5 for more information on configuring your modem. See Dial-Up Networking in Chapter 4 for information on using Windows Dial-Up Networking for dial-in connections. Dial-Out Connections Dial-out connections are normally used with eXpertPowerTM applications. The ETC2002 eXpertPower client can initiate connections to the eXpertPowerTM server on a time basis.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 The ETC2002 has two options for routing messages over the slave networks, depending on whether the device routing table is defined in your ETC2002 or not. The first option uses implicit rules that identify the device location statically upon the device address. The following table shows how the messages are routed through the COM4 and COM5 serial ports depending on the port usage.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 ETC2002 Network Applications Transparent Gateway The ETC2002 normally provides a means for transparent exchange of messages between master Internet and serial client applications, and slave serial or wireless devices. The ETC2002 can manage up to eight concurrent sessions between master stations and slave devices. Each connection is fully transparent for the master.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 updates from the ETC2002 clock, which may be synchronized with the precise satellite GPS clock using an optional IRIG-B input. Acquired real-time data is normally stored in the ETC2002 exchanges. If the user wishes, acquired data can be periodically moved to historical circular files where data is kept for a long time until it is overwritten by newer data. Data is recorded to historical files at regular intervals.
Chapter 3 Operating the ETC2002 Using the ETC2002 Monitoring Digital Inputs The Data server provides continuous monitoring events asserted by the ET2002 digital inputs and gives notification to the eXpertPower server. Whenever the Data server detects a change in the status of the ETC2002 digital inputs, it records an event record to the Event log file. If the eXpertPower service is enabled in the ETC2002, this event initiates a connection to the eXpertPower server.
Chapter 4 Connecting to the ETC2002 Using HyperTerminal Chapter 4 Connecting to the ETC2002 Using HyperTerminal Windows HyperTerminal allows you to configure the network, communications and security settings in your ETC2002, and to view certain diagnostic information such as device diagnostics and network statistics.
