MOXA CN2600 Series Dual-LAN Terminal Servers Installation Guide

MOXA CN2600 Series Dual-LAN Terminal Servers Installation Guide

Overview

The Moxa CN2600 dual-LAN terminal servers have 8 or 16 RS-232 or RS-232/422/485 ports and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports, and some models come with dual AC power inputs. The CN2600 terminal servers are used to connect terminals, modems, printers, and other serial devices to LAN hosts, and all models comply with TCP/IP and IEEE 802.3 specifications using standard twisted pair 10/100BaseTX cable as the transmission medium.

LCM Display

If the CN2600 is working properly, the LCM panel will display a green color. The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that the CN2600 is receiving power. After the red Ready LED turns to green, you will see a display similar to the following: (Example)
C N 2 6 1 0 – 1 6 _ 3
1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 2 7 . 2 5 4

CN2610-16: The CN2610’s name
03: The CN2610’s local sequence number
192.168.127.254: The CN2610’s IP address
There are four push buttons on the CN2600 nameplate:

Hardware Installation

Installing the CN2600
Open the package and attach the CN2600 to a desktop, or fasten it to the rack cabinet.

Wiring Requirements

1. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
   NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

2. Where necessary, we strongly advise labeling wiring to all devices in the system.

Connecting the Power

AC: Connect the CN2600 100-240 VAC power line with its AC connector. If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the “Ready” LED will change to a green color.
DC: Connect the NPort CN2650I-HV’s power cord to the DC connector, and then follow the steps given below:

• Take the CN2650I-8-HV-T as an example. Loosen the screws on the V+ and V- terminals of the CN2650I-8- HV-T terminal block. Connect the power cord’s 100 VDC wire to the terminal block’s V+ terminal, and the power cord’s DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V- terminal, and then tighten the terminal block screws. (Note: The CN2650I-8-HV-T can still operate even if the DC Power Ground wires are reversed.) The “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time it will change to a green color.

Grounding the CN2650I-HV
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the second contact from the right of the 5-pin power terminal block connector located on the rear panel of the CN2650I-8-HV-T. Connect the SG wire to the Earth ground.

Connecting to the Network

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the CN2600 to the Ethernet network. There are 2 LED indicators located on the top left and right corners of the Ethernet connector. If the cable is properly connected, the CN2600 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:

• The top right corner LED indicator maintains a solid green color when the cable is properly connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.

• The top left corner LED indicator maintains a solid orange color when the cable is properly connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.

Connecting to a Console
A console is a combination of keyboard and monitor, and is used to configure settings and to monitor the status of your system. If you do not have a network environment, use a terminal, a PC running UNIX, or a PC with terminal emulation software (e.g., HyperTerminal in Windows; PComm by Moxa). Use an RJ45-to-DB25 or RJ45-to-DB9 cable to connect the terminal to the console socket. Refer to the CN2600 User’s Manual for more details.

Software Installation
For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is LAN static IP = 192.168.127.254 and netmask = 255.255.255.0

NOTE If you have forgotten the NPort’s IP address, use the Device Search Utility (DSU) from your PC to locate the NPort. After searching the LAN for NPort units, the DSU will display the IP address of each unit.

You may log in to change any setting to meet your network topology (e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g., serial parameters).
For software installation, download the related utilities from Moxa’s website:

• Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as the driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.

• Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual COM ports on your Windows platform.

• For Loopback Wiring:

  • The NPort with RJ45 Port :
    You may refer to the RJ45 Ports pin assignment section to loop back pin 4 and pin 5 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self-test on the device.

  • The NPort with DB9 Male Serial Ports:
    You may refer to the DB9 Male Ports pin assignment section to loop back pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self-test on the device.

• Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download Moxa’s program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device is good or not.

Please refer to the CN2600 Series Dual-LAN Terminal Server User’s Manual for more details.
