BASIC FUNCTIONS 2.1.1. STATIC IP/DHCP There are two ways for module to get IP address: Static IP and DHCP. Static IP: Default setting of module is Static IP and default IP is 192.168.0.7. When user configures module in Static IP mode, user need set IP, subnet mask and gateway and must pay attention to the relation among IP, subnet mask and gateway. DHCP: Module in DHCP mode can dynamically get IP, Gateway, and DNS server address from Gateway Host. When user connects RS232/485 TO ETH directly to PC, module can't be set in DHCP mode. Because common computer does not have the ability to assign IP addresses. 2.1.2. RESET TO DEFAULT SETTINGS Hardware: Power off the RS232/485 TO ETH and press Reload button, then power on the RS232/485 TO ETH and keep pressing Reload button over 5 seconds can reset to default settings. Software: User can also reset to default settings through setup software for RS232/485 TO ETH. AT command: User can send AT+RELD to reset to default settings. 5/22/19 www.waveshare.com/wiki 8 / 21 RS232/485 TO ETH User Manual 2.2. SOCKET FUNCTIONS RS232/485 TO ETH supports dual sockets mode. Socket A supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client and HTTP Client. Socket B supports TCP Client and UDP Client. 2.2.1. TCP CLIENT Figure 4 TCP Client TCP Client provides Client connections for TCP network services. TCP Client device will connect to server to realize data transmission between the serial port device and server. According to the TCP protocol, TCP Client has connection/disconnection status differences to ensure reliable data transmission. TCP Client mode supports Keep-Alive function: After establishing connection, RS232/485 TO ETH will send Keep-Alive package in every 15 second to check TCP connection and RS232/485 TO ETH will disconnect and reconnect to server if any connection exception occurs. TCP Client mode also supports baud rate synchronization, USR Cloud and Modbus gateway. RS232/485 TO ETH works in TCP Client mode needs connect to TCP Server and needs set the parameter: Remote IP/Port. RS232/485 TO ETH works in TCP Client won't accept other connection request except target server and will access server with random local port if configuring local port to 0. 2.2.2. TCP SERVER 5/22/19 Figure 5 TCP Server www.waveshare.com/wiki 9 / 21 RS232/485 TO ETH User Manual RS232/485 TO ETH works in TCP Server mode will listen network connections and build network connections, commonly be used for communication with TCP clients on a LAN. According to the TCP protocol, TCP Server has connection/disconnection status differences to ensure reliable data transmission. RS232/485 TO ETH works in TCP Server mode will listen local port which user set and build connection after receiving connection request. Serial data will be sent to all TCP Client devices connected to RS232/485 TO ETH in TCP Server mode simultaneously. RS232/485 TO ETH works in TCP Server mode supports 8 client connections at most. RS232/485 TO ETH also supports Keep-Alive function, baud rate synchronization and Modbus gateway. 2.2.3. UDP CLIENT Figure 6 UDP Client UDP transport protocol provides simple and unreliable communication services. No connection connected /disconnected. User only needs to configure Remote IP/Port then can realize data transmission. In UDP Client mode, RS232/485 TO ETH will only communicate with Remote IP/Port. If data don't from Remote IP/Port, it won't be received by RS232/485 TO ETH. In UDP Client mode, if user configure Remote IP to 255.255.255.255, RS232/485 TO ETH can achieve UDP broadcast to all network segment and receive broadcast data. User can also configure Remote IP to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 to realize UDP broadcast in same network segment. 5/22/19 www.waveshare.com/wiki 10 / 21 RS232/485 TO ETH User Manual 2.2.4. UDP SERVER Figure 7 UDP Server In UDP Server mode, RS232/485 TO ETH will change Remote IP every time after receiving UDP data from a new IP/Port and will send data to latest communication IP/Port. 2.2.5.

FLOW CONTROL RS232/485 TO ETH supports hardware flow control way ( RTS/CTS, only take effect in RS232 mode ) and software flow control way Xon/Xoff. 2.3.4. SERIAL PACKAGE METHODS For network speed is faster than serial. Module will put serial data in buffer before sending it to network. The data will be sent to network side as data package. There are 2 ways to end the package and send package to network side - Time Trigger Mode and Length Trigger Mode. RS232/485 TO ETH serial package time: Default is 4 bytes sending time, range from 0 to 255. RS232/485 TO ETH serial package length: Default is 1460 bytes, range from 0 to 1460. 2.3.5. BAUD RATE SYNCHRONIZATION When module works with USR devices or software, serial parameters will change dynamically according to network protocol. User can modify serial parameters by sending data conformed to specific protocol via network. It is temporary, after restarting DTU, the parameters will back to original parameters. 5/22/19 www.waveshare.com/wiki 13 / 21 RS232/485 TO ETH User Manual 2.4. FEATURES 2.4.1. IDENTITY PACKET FUNC TION Figure 12 Identity Packet application diagram Identity packet is used for identifying the device when RS232/485 TO ETH works as TCP client/UDP client. There are two methods to send identity packet. Identity packet will be sent after connection is established. Identity packet will be added on the front of every data package. Identity packet can be MAC address or user editable identity packet. User editable identity packet should less than 40 bytes. 2.4.2. HEARTBEAT PACKET FUNCTION Heartbeat packet: RS232/485 TO ETH will output heartbeat packet to serial side or network side periodic. User can configure the heartbeat packet data and sending interval. Serial heartbeat packet can be used for polling Modbus data. Network heartbeat packet can be used for showing connection status and keeping the connection (only take effect in TCP/UDP Client mode). 2.4.3. NON-PERSISTENT CONNECTION RS232/485 TO ETH support non-persistent connection function in TCP Client mode. When RS232/485 TO ETH adopts this function, RS232/485 TO ETH will connect to server and send data after receiving data from serial port side and will disconnect to server after sending all the data to server and no data from serial port side over 3s. 2.4.4. MODBUS GATEWAY Modbus gateway includes: Modbus RTU transparent transmission, Modbus ASCII transparent transmission, Modbus RTU<=>Modbus TCP protocol conversion, Modbus polling and serial port query. 5/22/19 www.waveshare.com/wiki 14 / 21 RS232/485 TO ETH User Manual Modbus RTU<=>Modbus TCP: Set RS232/485 TO ETH in TCP Server or TCP Client mode, then user can set RS232/485 TO ETH with Modbus RTU<=>Modbus TCP function.
