1Before You Start
1.1 Preview
Each section in this Guide is a step in the process of installing and configuring your
Precidia unit:
1Before You Start
Familiarize yourself with the features and installation requirements of the unit.
2Setting up the Ether232Plus
Set up the hardware and configure the unit via terminal software.
3Configuring the Ethernet Settings

4Configuring the Serial Port Settings
Configure the protocol, speed, connection control, and port information.
5Configuring the Security Settings
Configure the remote, console, and Web passwords, SNMP, and IPSec.
6System Settings
If necessary, have your network administrator configure the advanced settings,
including downloads and system logging options.
7Accessing System Information

1.2 Functionality and Features
How It Works
Precidia products connect serial devices and IP networks. A device sends information
to the unit through the serial port. This information is processed according to the
protocol set in the Serial Port Settings, then transferred to the Ethernet side of the unit.
The unit then converts the information to IP compatible format and sends it out the
Ethernet port to the remote server according to the parameters set in the Ethernet
Settings. The process is reversed when information is received from the remote server.
The figure below illustrates an example configuration of the Ether232PPlus in a
network.
Ether232Plus — Network Configuration
Features
The Ether232Plus has many useful features, allowing you to:
• Configure settings locally via the COM port or remotely using telnet
• Display static Web pages using a built-in Web page server
• Display dynamic System Status and System Log pages through the built-in Web
server or the Configuration screen
• Manage information with SNMPv2c (Simple Network Management Protocol)
• Tap remotely into the datastream to monitor data and assist in debugging
• Provide security through passwords and IPsec
• Use a primary and a backup server (automatic switchover on failure)
• Capture statistics and log system information internally
• Upload firmware upgrades using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) or via the
local com port

• Control and refine connection settings with options that include:
- Automatic connection in tcp(tunnel) and tcp-client modes to establish a
connection to the server as soon as the first data byte is received on the serial
port
- Connection recovery to ensure the session remains active
- COM Port Redirector Software compatibility using the Com Port Control
protocol option
- Modem Connection Control that allows the Precidia unit to appear as a Hayes-
compatible modem to your serial device
• Connect an RS-422/485 device or an RS-232 device to one of two ports
• Support the following network protocols:

Table 1.1: Front Panel Indicator Lamps
Indicator Lamp Description
ON Illuminates constantly when power is applied to the unit.
— ETHERNET —
LINK Illuminates constantly when the Ethernet port has a valid
connection to a 10BaseT Ethernet network.
COLLISION Illuminates under high traffic loading, when network conges-
tion results in collisions. Collisions are resolved by the Ether-
net protocol and do not necessarily indicate data loss. Lamp
flashes to indicate this activity.
TRANSMIT Illuminates when the unit has control of the line and is send-
ing data on the network. Lamp flashes to indicate this activity.
Does not illuminate when receiving data.
— COM —
TRANSMIT Illuminates when the unit is sending or receiving data out the
COM port. Lamp flashes to indicate this activity.
Illuminates constantly while in configuration mode.
STATUS Off: Unit incorrectly configured or the COM port is disabled.
Slow flash: Correctly configured, in idle mode.
Fast flash: Correctly configured, terminal has communicated.
On (solid): Correctly configured, connected.
