1. Getting to Know your BF-480
1.1 Introduction
BF-480 serial device servers are designed to make your industrial serial devices
Internet ready instantly. The compact size of BF-480 device servers makes them the
ideal choice for connecting your RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial devices—such as
PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for
your software to access serial devices anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.
BF-480 serial device servers ensure the compatibility of network software that uses
a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP Server Mode,
TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. And using Chiyu’s virtual COM drivers, software
that works with COM ports can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no time.
This excellent feature preserves your software investment and lets you enjoy the
benefits of networking your serial devices instantly.
BF-480 serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP,
BOOTP) and manual configuration via Chiyu’s web browser console. Both methods
ensure quick and effective installation. BF-480 support special design for PPPoE +
DDNS that could let your device to connect to Internet without static IP address.

The following are the main features of BF-480
TCP server/client & UDP mode support
The BF-480 support four types of connection: TCP server, TCP client and UDP mode, user can
select one of types to meet application requirement.
DHCP Client
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) client obtains the TCP/IP configuration at start-up
from a centralized DHCP server, which means it can get IP address, an IP default gateway and
DNS server.
PPP Over Ethernet
PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over DSL connection by
simulating dial-up connection.
Dynamic DNS
With dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address,
allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet.
Auto-negotiating 10/100Mbps Ethernet
The Ethernet interface automatically detects if it is on a 10 or a 100 Mbps Ethernet.
Full Network Management via Web
This feature allows you to access or manage device through IE or Netscape on any platform. The
firmware also can be upgraded via Web browser.
Backup and Restore configuration
This feature allows you to backup system configuration to a file and restores it, for the security
issue, the file which backup from system is an encryption format.

2.3 Initial Setup
Use this section to set up your computer to assign it a static IP address in the 192.168.168.1 to
192.168.168.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that
your computer can communicate with your BF-480.
Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be
installed on computer using Windows 98/2000/XP and later operating systems.
Note: Connect a computer to BF-480 Ethernet port directly should be with crossover
Ethernet cable, if both connect to hub/switch should be with straight-through Ethernet
cable.
2.3.1 Installing the TCP/IP Protocol
If you are not sure whether the TCP/IP Protocol has been installed, follow these steps to check,
and if necessary, install TCP/IP onto your PCs.
Step 1：Click the “Start” button. Choose “Settings”, then “Control Panel”. Double-click the
“Network Connections” icon. Your Network window should appear as follows:
Step 2：
For Windows 98 and Millennium
On the “Configuration” tab (if using Windows 98 and Millennium PCs), select the TCP/IP line
for the applicable Ethernet adapter. Do not choose a TCP/IP entry whose name mentions
PPPoE, VPN. If the word TCP/IP appears by itself, select that line. Click the Properties button.
Important:
For Windows 2000 & Windows XP Setting, you will find that they differ with Windows 98/ME/NT
slightly. See the following for reference.
For Windows XP and Windows 2000
Click the “Local Area Connection” icon on the lower right hand side of your desktop screen.
In the “Local Area Connection Status” window, click the “Properties” button then your
Network window will appear.
There are two tabs, “General” ”Support”,in the Network window.
