serial port of user’s computer first. And push the Data/Console switch to the Console side. And also please set the position of DIP switch for serial mode to RS-232 mode. Configuration of the PS110 is discussed on Section 2.2.5.
2.2.3. Connecting the power Connect the power cable to the Pro Series. If the power is properly supplied, the [Power] lamp will light up solid red.
2.2.4. Accessing the System Console There are several ways to access the Pro Series. These methods are dependent on whether the user is located at a local site or a remote site, or whether the user requires a menu-driven interface, graphic menu system or CLI (Command Line Interface). System console: Local users can connect directly to the system console port of the Pro Series using the serial console cable.

3. Network Configuration 3.1. IP Configuration The Pro Series requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the Pro Series. Please note that the Pro Series requires a unique IP address to connect to the user’s network. The users may choose one of three Internet protocols in setting up the Pro Series IP address: i.e.
3.1.1. Using a Static IP Address When using a Static IP address, the user must manually specify all the configuration parameters associated with the IP address of the Pro Series. These include the IP address, the network subnet mask, the gateway computer and the domain name server computers. This section will look at each of these in more detail. Note: The Pro Series will attempt to locate all this information every time it is turned on.
names into the numeric IP addresses for a TCP/IP connection. The IP address of the DNS server must be able to access the host site with the provided domain name. The Pro Series provides the ability to configure the required IP addresses of both the Primary and Secondary DNS servers addresses. (The secondary DNS server is specified for use when the primary DNS server is unavailable.) 3.1.2.
3.2. SNMP Configurations The Pro Series has the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent supporting SNMP v1 and v2 protocols. Network managers like NMS or SNMP Browser can exchange information with Pro Series, as well as access required functionality. SNMP protocols include GET, SET, GET–Next, and TRAPs. With these functions, a manager can be notified of significant events (TRAPs), query a device for more information (GET), and make changes to the device state (SET).
3.2.1. MIB-II System objects Configuration MIB–II System objects configuration sets the System Contact, Name, Location, and Authenticationfailure traps used by the SNMP agent of the Pro Series. These settings provide the values used for the MIB-II sysName, sysContact, sysLocation, sysService and enableAuthenTrap. Brief descriptions of each object are as follows, sysContact: Identification of the contact person for the managed system (Pro Series), and a description of how to contact the person.
3.2.4. Management using SNMP The Pro Series can be managed through the SNMP protocol using NMS (Network Management System) or SNMP Browser. Before using the NMS or SNMP Browser, the user must set the access control configuration properly so that the Pro Series permits host access where the NMS or SNMP Browser is executed. Figure 3-3 shows a screen shot of a typical SNMP browser with MIB-II OIDs of the Pro Series SNMP agent.
3.3. Dynamic DNS Configuration When users connect the Pro Series to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, the IP address might be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difficult to post all related contacts for each new IP address. In addition, if the administrator only has access through the remote console, there is no way to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.
3.4. SMTP Configuration The Pro Series can send an email notification when the number of system log messages reaches to certain value and/or when an alarm message is created due to an issue with serial port data. The user must configure a valid SMTP server send these automatically generated emails. The Pro Series supports three SMTP server types: SMTP without authentication SMTP with authentication POP-before-SMTP These examples can be seen in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 SMTP mode selection in SMTP configuration 3.5. IP Filtering The Pro Series prevents unauthorized access using an IP address based filtering method.
Service Service to which will be applied to the IP filtering rule. User can select one of Telnet, SSH, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS or each serial port Chain rule Set the basic rule for the host to access the Pro Series as one of Accept, Drop or Reject. Figure 3-7 IP filtering Configuration The Pro Series provides a policy option. The policy decides how to treat a packet which isn’t determined to be dropped or accepted by IP filtering list.
Figure 3-9 IP filtering Configuration for each service and serial port Table 3-2 Input examples of Option and IP address/mask combination Allowable Hosts Input format Option IP address/mask Any host 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 Normal 192.168.1.120 192.168.1.120/255.255.255.255 Normal Any host except 192.168.1.120 192.168.1.120/255.255.255.255 Invert 192.168.1.1 ~ 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 Normal 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.255.254 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 Normal 192.168.1.1 ~ 192.168.1.
Figure 3-10 SYSLOG server configuration To receive log messages from the Pro Series, the SYSLOG server must be configured as “remote reception allowed”. If there is a firewall between the Pro Series and the SYSLOG server, there must be a rule that allows all outgoing and incoming UDP packets to travel across the firewall. The Pro Series supports SYSLOG facilities from local0 to local7. The user can employ these facilities to save messages from the Pro Series separately in the SYSLOG server.
Figure 3-11 Locating server configuration 3.7.3.
3.8. NFS server configuration The Pro Series supports NFS (Network File System) service for system or port data logging functions. To use this service, the user must specify the IP address of a NFS server and the mounting path on the NFS server. Figure 3-12 displays the NFS server configuration page located in the web configuration interface.. Figure 3-12 NFS server configuration To store the Pro Series log data to the NFS server, the NFS server must be configured as “read and write allowed”.
TCP keep-alive time: This represents the time interval between the last data transmission and keep-alive packet submissions by the Pro Series. These “keep-alive” messages are sent to the remote host to confirm that the session is still open. The default time value is 15 sec. TCP “keep-alive” probes: This represents how many “keep-alive” probes will be sent to the remote host, until it decides that the connection is dead.
4. Serial Port Configuration 4.1. Overview The serial port configuration capability allows the user to configure the host mode of each port, serial communication parameters, cryptography, port logging parameters and other related parameters. The serial port’s host mode can be set as any of the following: TCP : The Pro Series operates as a TCP server and client.
Remote host1 Cryptography3 Modem Port logging Port event handling Inactivity timeout (0 for unlimited) Socket ID (for outgoing connection) Accept unlisted Send unlisted Modem emulation Add or Edit a remote host 2 Host IP address Host port Backup host IP address Backup host port Remove a remote host SSLv3 Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bits Flow control Inter-character timeout (ms) DTR behavior DSR behavior Enable/Disable modem Modem init -string DCD behavior Automatic release modem connection Enable/D
Figure 4-1 Serial port configuration main screen 4.2. Serial Port Configuration Individual Port Configurations of the Pro Series are classified into eight groups: 1. Port enable/disable 2. Port title 3. Host mode 4. Cryptography 5. Serial port parameters 6. Modem configuration 7. Port logging 8. Port event handling 4.2.1. Port Enable/Disable Each serial port can be enabled or disabled. If a serial port is disabled, users cannot access the serial port.
4.2.2. Port Title Users can enter descriptive information for each port based on the device attached to it. This can include the device type, vendor, and/or location. Figure 4-3 Port title configuration 4.2.3. Host Mode Configuration The Pro Series operating mode is called the “host mode.” Three host modes are available: TCP mode, UDP mode, Modem emulation mode. TCP mode The Pro Series works as both TCP server and client.
Figure 4-4 Host mode configuration (TCP mode) 4.2.3.1. TCP mode For easier understanding of TCP modes, a simplified State Transition Diagram is often used. And to help users understand the diagram, the TCP state of the Pro Series is briefly described as f ollows. [Listen] It represents “a waiting for a connection request from any registered remote host”. It is a default start-up mode when it is set as TCP mode. [Closed] It means “no connection state”.
[Established] It represents “an open connection”. If one of the hosts, the remote host or the Pro Series, accepts a connection request from the other, the connection is opened and state is changed into [Established]. [Data] When it is in [Established] state, data from a host will be transferred to the other one. For easier understanding of the TCP session operation, we called the state as [Data] state when actual data transfer is performed.
is “Inactivity timeout” (See Options in section 4.4 for details on Inactivity timeout). All the data remained in the serial port buffer will be cleared when it is disconnected. Connection request from remote host All the incoming TCP connection requests will be rejected in TCP client mode. 3) Parameters TCP listening port This is the TCP port number through which a remote host can connect a TCP session, and, send and receive data.
Cyclic Connection If Cyclic Connection function is enabled, the Pro Series will make an attempt to connect to the user-defined remote host(s) at a given interval even if there’s no incoming serial data from the device connected to that serial port. If there is data on the remote host(s) to be sent to serial device, it can be transferred to the serial device via Pro Series’serial port after the connection is established.
TCP connection request rejected Or internal TCP time-out Sync-Sent In-coming TCP Close request TCP connection request accepted Inactivity time-out Incoming data via serial port Data Established Incoming data from remote host Closed Accept Reject Listen Sync-Recvd Incoming TCP connection request Incoming data via serial port Figure 4-5 State Transition Diagram of TCP mode 4.2.3.2.
Figure 4-6 Host mode configuration (UDP mode) 1) Operations If a remote host sends a UDP datagram to the one of UDP Local port of the Pro Series, Pro Series first checks whether it is from one of the hosts configured on remote host configuration. If the remote host is one of the hosts configured on remote host configuration, then Pro Series transfers the data through the serial port. Otherwise, the Pro Series discards the incoming UDP datagram.
Accept UDP datagram from unlisted remote host If Accept unlisted (Accept UDP datagram from unlisted remote host) function is set as ‘No’, Pro Series will accept only incoming UDP datagram from the remote host(s) configured on remote host configuration. On the contrary if Accept unlisted function is set as ‘Yes’, Pro Series will accept all incoming UDP datagram regardless remote host configuration.
There already exists a modem attached to the users’ serial device. If users’serial device already has a modem for phone-line connection, it can be just replaced by the Pro Series for Ethernet connection. What users need to do is to use an IP address (or domain name) and port number instead of phone number as a parameter of ATA/ATDT commands. It is required to send serial data to the multiple remote hosts. If the serial device should send data to the multiple hosts, modem emulation mode is required.

Figure 4-7 Typical case of command/data flow of modem emulation mode In modem emulation mode, user can also set specific phone number to host address/port mapping table. If user set the phone number to host address/port mapping table as shown on Figure 4-8, Pro Series will try to connect to port 7001 of 192.168.1.1 host by the ‘atdt5737772’command in modem emulation mode.
is set) response for this case, he can get the required result after setting CONNECT strings as shown on Figure 4-8. Respond to AT&Cn, AT&Wn and AT&Zn with For the following three AT commands, AT&Cn, AT&Wn, AT&Zn User can select the response as one of OK or ERROR. Command echo delay(ms) AT commands that are entered by user can be echoed with a delay specified in this menu. This is useful if user uses modem emulation mode in RS485 mode.
4.2.4. Remote host configuration Remote host configuration is the list of hosts that will receive data from serial port of Pro Series when there is data transmission from the serial port of the Pro Series. In TCP mode, user can also configure secondary remote host (Backup host) that will receive data from serial port if Pro Series fails to connect to primary remote host.
4.2.5. Cryptography configuration The Pro Series supports encrypted sessions for only the TCP mode including modem emulation mode (not UDP mode). Figure 4-10 Cryptography configuration 4.2.5.1. Secure Sockets Layer(SSL) cryptography method By setting the cryptography method as SSL, the Pro Series can communicate with another device supporting SSLv3 cryptography method during encrypted sessions. SSL was developed by Netscape for use between clients and servers.
encryption provides better authentication techniques. The handshake allows the server to authenticate itself to the client using public-key techniques, and then allows the client and the server to cooperate in the creation of symmetric keys used for rapid encryption, decryption, and tamper detection during the session that follows. The details of handshake process step involved can be summarized as follows: 1.
be encrypted with the session key. It then sends a separate (encrypted) message indicating that the server portion of the handshake is finished. 10. The SSL handshake is now complete, and the SSL session has begun. The client and the server use the session keys to encrypt and decrypt the data they send to each other and to validate its integrity.
4.2.5.1.1 Upload Certificate Figure 4-12 Upload certificate User is able to upload Certificate, Certificate Authority certificate, Private key. The Certificate, Certificate Authority certificate, Private key should be in PEM format. 4.2.5.2. RC4 cryptography method In RC4 cryptography mode, the Pro Series encrypt and decrypt all TCP streams using a Key string. The Pro Series can communicate with another device or another Pro Series that supports RC4 cryptography mode with same Key string.
Figure 4-13 RC4 Cryptography configuration 4.2.6. Serial port parameters To connect the serial device to the Pro Series serial port, the serial port parameters of the Pro Series should match exactly to that of the serial device attached. The serial port parameters are required to match this serial communication. The parameters required for the serial communication are: UART type, baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control DTR/DSR behavior and inter-character timeout.
Figure 4-14 Serial communication type and DIP switch configuration. (PS110/410) For more information about pin out of serial port and wiring diagram, please refer to Appendix 1 Connections section. NOTE : 1. Please turn off the power of the Pro Series device before changing the position of DIP switch in case of PS110/410. Changing the position of DIP switch while the power is on may cause damage to the device.
Stop bits Stop bits can be between 1 bit and 2 bits. The factory default setting is 1 bit.
Flow control The f actory default setting of the flow control is None. Software Flow Control using XON/XOFF and hardware flow control using RTS/CTS are supported by the Pro Series. Software flow control method controls data communication flow by sending special characters XON/XOFF (0x11/0x13) between two connected devices. And hardware flow control method controls data communication flow by sending signals back and forth between two connected devices.
internal buffer. The Pro Series transfers data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, only if the internal buffer is full or if the inter-character time interval reaches the time specified in the inter-character timeout setting. If inter-character timeout is set as 0, then data stored in the internal buffer will be transferred immediately without any delay.
not be closed by Pro Series even if all TCP connections are closed. Please note that actual phone line connection will be closed if one of modems closes connection. That is, this option can be used for Pro Series to allow disconnection of a modem connection by itself when all TCP connections are closed. If user wants to use dial-out function, he should set DCD behavior as None because he must be able to access modem connected to a serial port to send dial out command to the modem first.
setting is [disabled]. Port log storage location The port log data can be stored to the Pro Series’internal memory or the mounting point on an NFS server. If the internal memory is used to store port log data, the port log data will be cleared when the Pro Series is turned off. To preserve the serial port log data, set the storage location to be the NFS server. To do this, the user must configure the NFS server in advance. Please refer to the section 3.
Each reaction can be configured individually upon each event. Reaction can be an email delivery, SNMP trap sending, command sending or either combination of all reactions. Port event handling If the user wants to enable port event handling feature, set Port event handling as enable. This is a global parameter so if this feature is disabled, the Pro Series does not take any actions on port events.
Figure 4-20 Port event-handling configurations SNMP trap receiver’s IP address This parameter sets the IP address of SNMP trap receiver that will receive SNMP trap notification when pre-defined keyword is detected. SNMP trap community This parameter sets a community that will be included in SNMP trap message when pre-defined keyword is detected. SNMP trap version This parameter sets a version of SNMP trap, which will be sent when pre-defined keyword is detected.
Event keywords The user can assign event keywords so that the Pro Series takes actions such as sending e-mail notification, sending SNMP trap notification or sending pre-defined command to a serial port if the keyword is detected at the serial port. Event keyword User can specify any words, which he/she wants to set as a keyword. Email notification User can select enable or disable for the Email notification action on keyword selected.
5. System Administration The Pro Series displays the system status and the log data via a Status Display Screen. This screen is used for management purposes. System status data includes the model name, serial number, firmware version and the network configuration of the Pro Series. The Pro Series can also be configured to deliver log data automatically via email to a specified recipient with the system-logging feature.
NFS server or the SYSLOG server. If the internal memory is used to store system log data, the log data will be cleared when the Pro Series is turned off. To preserve the system log data, set the storage location to be SYSLOG server or NFS server. To do this, the user must configure the corresponding media in advance. Unless the media is properly set up, the log will not be written to a specified storage location properly.
5.4. Device Name Configuration The Pro Series has its own name for administrative purposes. Figure 5-4 shows the device name configuration screen. When user changes Device name, hostname of Pro Series will be also changed. Figure 5-4 Device name configuration Please note that user cannot set space character as a device name. If user sets blank as Device name then hostname is set as IP address of Pro Series automatically. And also the device name is utilized for management program, HelloDevice Manager. 5.

6. System Statistics The Pro Series Web interface provides system statistics menus. The user can use these menus to access statistical data and tables stored in the Pro Series memory. Network interfaces statistics and serial ports statistics display statistical usage of the link layer, lo, eth and serial ports. IP, ICMP, TCP and UDP statistics display usages of four primary components in the TCP/IP protocol suite. 6.1.
6.2. Serial Ports Statistics Serial ports statistics displays the usage history of 32 serial ports, baud rate configurations and each port’s pin status. ( : On : Off ) Figure 6-2 Serial ports status 6.3. IP Statistics The IP Statistics screen provides statistical information about packets/connections using an IP protocol. Definitions and descriptions of each parameter are described below: Forwarding : Specifies whether IP forwarding is enabled or disabled.
ForwDatagrams : Specifies the number of datagrams forwarded. InUnknownProtos : Specifies the number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. InDiscard : Specifies the number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). This counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting reassembly.
FragCreates : Specifies the number of fragments created. Figure 6-3 IP statistics 6.4. ICMP Statistics The ICMP Statistics screen provides statistical information about packets/connections using an ICMP protocol. Definitions and descriptions of each parameter are described below: InMsgs, OutMsgs : Specifies the number of messages received or sent. InErrors, OutErrors : Specifies the number of errors received or sent.
InTimeExcds, OutTimeExcds : Specifies the number of time-to-live (TTL) exceeded messages received or sent. A time-to-live exceeded message is sent to the originating computer when a datagram is discarded because the number of routers it has passed through exceeds its time-to-live value. InParmProbs, OutParmProbs : Specifies the number of parameter-problem messages received or sent.
