SRC-2X Installation and Operation Manual
Quick Start Application Example - 4
Com Port Redirector
This applications function is to redirect customer application data destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC to the serial port of an SRC-2X. Rather than going out the local COM port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The SRC-2X attached to the network receives the data and presents it on its serial port. Conversely, data sent into the serial port of the SRC-2X is transmit- ted back to the customer’s application via the network to the Com Port Redirector. Com Port Redirector then presents the data to the customer’s application as if it were from a local serial COM port.
1 – The following procedure should be performed on the SRC-2X before loading the Redirection software on the PC.
2 - Connect the supplied straight-through CAT 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector on the SRC-2X labeled Ethernet and the other end to your hub, switch or router. NOTE: If you are attaching the SRC-2X directly to your computer, you MUST use a XOVER CAT 5 cable.
3 - Connect the supplied 7.5 VDC power supply to the SRC-2X power jack. Verify that the power led and left “LINK” led above the RJ-45 is lit.
4 - Start the “Device Installer” software. a - Click on “SEARCH”
b - When the SRC-2X is found, click on the listed device. If more that one SRC- 2X is found, refer to the MAC address label attach to the bottom of the SRC- 2X case and click on the desired SRC-2X, which should be highlighted.
c - Click on the “ASSIGN IP” button, then follow the instructions for setting a stat- ic IP address, along with the subnet and gateway, if applicable.
5 – After the SRC-2X has rebooted, click the “SEARCH” button, the configured SRC-2X should be listed. NOTE: You may have to click the search button more than once after the reboot.
