4.12.1 Remote iServer
It’s recommended to configure the Remote iServer and have it up and running before the Local iServer is configured.
1.A static IP address must be assigned to the Remote iServer. This means that the DHCP must remain disabled. Refer to the DHCP section of the user’s manual for details.
2.Use a browser to access the Remote iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.50) followed by an Enter key. You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.
3.Click on the Update button.
4.Click on Configuration, you will be prompted with a Password (default is 12345678).
5.On the Configuration page, under Serial Communication section, make sure the parameters such as Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, etc. match with your attached serial device.
6.Make sure to set the End Character (Hex) to 0D and the Timeout to 500.
7.Under Terminal Server section, set Number of Connections to 1 or higher.
8.Click on Save button for the changes to take place.
Make sure that the serial cable and communication settings between the iServer and the serial device are valid.
Figure 4.21
shows the valid values that need to be set
in the Remote iServer. The Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, and Transceiver values depend on what the serial device supports.
