B&B Electronics Mini POE Ethernet to RS--232 Converters manual Configuring Alarms and Notification

Using the Web Configuration and Management Interface

Serial Bridge

Select Serial Bridge to implement Paired Mode (also called serial tunneling). This allows serial devices connected to two PES1A/PESV1A converters to communicate across the network. The two PES1A/PESV1A converters automatically connect to each other.

Terminal

Select Terminal to communicate with the PES1A/PESV1A via its serial port using a terminal program and a command line interface. For more information on this option and the command line interface contact B&B Electronics Technical Support.

Modem Emulation

Select Modem Emulation to configure the serial port to operate as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to communicate through a modem, the serial device can be connected to the PES1A/PESV1A and communication occurs over the network. The PES1A/PESV1A emulates modem responses to and from the serial device.

Custom

Select Custom to custom configure the PES1A/PESV1A serial port and is used if your application does not fit into any other predefined modes. This is an advanced option that allows full configuration of the serial port.

Apply

After you have selected a port profile, click the Apply button. The Serial Port Configuration page will re-appear and will contain additional configuration settings specific to the profile you have chosen.

For more information on these configuration options see the web-based Tutorial and online Help.

Basic Serial Settings

Click the Basic Serial Settings menu bar on the Serial Port Configuration page to configure the PES1A/PESV1A’s serial port Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits and Flow Control parameters. For all profiles except RealPort, the Basic Serial Settings configuration section allows you to set these parameters. When the RealPort profile is selected the serial port settings will be directed by the PC applications using the virtual COM port.

Using the Web Configuration and Management Interface

Advanced Serial Settings

Click the Advanced Serial Settings menu bar to access settings used to fine tune the serial port. Typically these setting will not need to be changed. Consult the web-based tutorial for more information if necessary.

Configuring Alarms and Notification

The PES1A/PESV1A can be configured to generate alarms and send notification emails based on the occurrence of specific events. Events include the states of some RS-232 handshake (GPIO) lines and the detection of specified character patterns within the serial data stream. The Alarms Configuration page displays the current alarm settings and allows you to configure them. It contains two sections: Alarm Notification Settings and Alarm Conditions.

Note: In the PES1A/PESV1A GPIO lines are permanently configured as RS- 232 hardware handshake lines to support the standard RS-232 interface. Do not attempt to re-configure the settings in the GPIO section of the Web Configuration and Management Interface.

Alarm Notification Settings

The Alarm Notification Settings page provides a checkbox to enable alarm notifications. Text boxes are provided to enter the IP address of your SMTP mail server and the email address that will be placed in the From field of the email.

Alarm Conditions

The Alarm Conditions page is a tabular listing of 32 alarms that can be configured. Table headings include Enable (a checkbox), Alarm name/number, Type of alarm, Trigger conditions, SNMP Trap, Send to address and Email Subject line.

Clicking on the Alarm name opens an Alarm Configuration page for that specific alarm. The page contains two sections: Alarm Conditions and Alarm Destinations.

Alarm Conditions allows you to select GPIO-based or serial data pattern- based events.
