TCP/IP NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS

1830-175 TCP Network Adaptor:

Converts RS-232 to TCP/IP. This allows you to connect the 1830 series unit to a Router. When the Router has access to an Internet Connection, programming may be performed via the internet for the entire communication path from the PC to the 1830 unit.

LAN - How it works

A diagram illustrates a LAN setup: A Modem connects to a Router (ports 1-4). Port 1 is connected to a Notebook Address (192.168.1.9). Port 2 is connected to an 1830 System (192.168.1.40). Wireless connectivity is also shown.

WAN - How it works

A diagram illustrates a WAN setup: A DSL Modem connects to a Router (ports 1-4). The Router has "Port Forwarding" enabled for Port 1040. Software connects to the Internet, looking for IP address 76.199.213.8. Once connected, it looks for Port 1040 to complete the connection to the 1835 System. The current IP address is 76.199.213.8.

1830 SERIES - LAN APPLICATIONS

1830 Series Local Area Network:

This training guide will focus on the TCP/IP Network interface, and Ethernet connection to a Local Area Network.

LAN: In a Local Area Network (LAN) application, a Router or Gateway is used to interconnect various devices. Requirements for connection to a LAN:

A diagram shows a LAN setup with a Router (192.168.1.1) connected to a Modem. The Router is connected via an Ethernet Switch to an 1830 System (192.168.1.40). Other devices connected include a Printer (192.168.1.11), and two Notebooks (192.168.1.9 and 192.168.1.13). Wireless connections are also shown. The diagram notes that each device within the LAN must match the first 3 segments of the Router address and have a unique 4th segment. It also states that many systems will automatically obtain an IP address from the Router, but the 1830 Adaptor must be connected to a PC for programming.

1830 NETWORK ADAPTOR – NETWORK CONNECTIONS

LAN SET UP:

Diagram 1 shows a Router (192.168.1.1) connected to a Modem. The Gateway Address (192.168.001.001) must be set into the Adaptor to allow the unit to "Register" with the LAN. The 1830 Adaptor Address (192.168.1.40) must be "Unique" within the LAN, allowing the PC to "Find" the 1830 within the LAN.

Diagram 2 shows a Router (192.168.1.1) connected to a Modem. A Notebook searches for 192.168.1.40 in the Network. The Notebook Address is 192.168.1.107. The 1830 Adaptor Address is 192.168.1.40.

1830 NETWORK ADAPTOR – NETWORK CONNECTIONS

LAN – CONNECTING TO ROUTER:

The 1830 Adaptor uses a standard TCP/IP Ethernet protocol, making this system compatible with standard network connectivity options, including Ethernet Switches, Wireless Access Points and Wireless Routers.

Ethernet Cables:

A standard Cat5e Network Cable can be run up to 325ft. This point-to-point wiring is between a network device and the Router, Hub, or Ethernet Switch. To extend this distance, you can add an Ethernet Switch in the connection. This will allow you to run 325ft to the switch, and another 325ft to the 1830 Adaptor.

Diagram 1 shows a PC connecting to a Router via Ethernet cable or Wireless connection. An 1812AP connects to the Router through an Ethernet cable or other standard Ethernet connectivity options. An Ethernet Cable (Cat5e) has a max cable distance of 325 ft.

Diagram 2 shows a similar setup, but includes an Ethernet Switch. An Ethernet Cable (Cat5e) has a maximum cable distance of 325 ft. A RS-232 Cable has a maximum cable distance of 50 ft. (Extenders and Wireless adaptors are available).

ROUTER (GATEWAY)

In many home or business computer systems, the Router may already be set up. This typically is providing connections to Printers, DSL Modems, Remote PC's, etc. Routers may also provide Wireless connectivity to some of these system devices. To add the 1812 into this Local Area Network, you will need to identify the Router Address. This may require working with the Network administrator, or the Homeowner.

NOTE: Be cautious about entering into the Router Software. You may inadvertently change some router settings that will affect the Local Network performance. We recommend checking the IP addresses using a PC on the network. If a Router is not in operation, the client will need to install the Router and set up through the clients Computer.

LAN SET UP:

The following are steps that will need to be taken to add the 1830 Adaptor into an existing LAN (Network).

Note: In Router programming or when viewing IP addresses, leading Zero's may not be shown. For Example, 168.001 may display as 168.1, or Port 01030 may be displayed as 1030.

Router (Gateway) Address:

You will need the IP address of the Router (Default Gateway). This will allow you to program the 1830 Adaptor to join the Local Network. You can check the Router Address from a PC that is active in the Local Network:

  1. On the PC, click on the START button, and then select RUN. This will open the 'Run' command window.
  2. In the 'Open' field type 'cmd' and click 'OK'. You may also access the Command Prompt from the Program Files/Accessories/Look for: Command Prompt.
