IDS-312L Device Server
Installation Guide
Introduction
The IDS-312L is an innovative secure one-port RS-232/422/485 to two ports LAN device server with standard features of device server, such as TCP/IP interface and versatile operation modes: Virtual Com, Serial Tunnel, TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP. In addition, the Windows utility, DS-Tool, could configure multiple devices and set up the mappings of Virtual Com. On the other hand, it can simultaneously transfer data up to 5 redundant host PCs to avoid Ethernet connection breakdown or any host PC failure. Further, IDS-312L features HTTPS, SSH, and SSL encryption to assure the security of critical data transmission. The device supports RS-232/422/485 and provides dual redundant power inputs, 12-48 VDC, on the terminal block to guarantee a non-stop operation. With wide operating temperature, -10-70°C, and a rugged IP-30 housing design, the device could operate in the harsh industrial environment. Therefore, IDS-312L is the best solution to the high demand for secure serial to Ethernet critical data communication.
The product is an open type, intended to be installed in an industrial control panel or an enclosure.

Safety & Warnings
Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed environment, make sure the operating ambient temperature is compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow: Make sure the amount of airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised during installation.
Mechanical Loading: Make sure the mounting of the equipment is not in a hazardous condition due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
- Indoor use and pollution degree II, it must be wiped with a dry cloth to clean up the device and

Installation
DIN-rail
Step 1: Slant the device and screw the Din-rail kit onto the back of the device, right in the middle of the back panel.
Step 2: Slide the device onto a DIN-rail from the Din-rail kit and make sure the device clicks into the rail firmly.
Wall-mount
Step 1: Screw the two pieces of wall-mount kits to the top and bottom panels of the device. A total of eight screws are required, as shown below.
Step 2: Use the device, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the four screws.
Step 3: Insert a screw head through the middle of the keyhole-shaped aperture on the plate, and then slide the device downwards. Tighten the screw head for added stability.
Network Connection
The device has two 10/100Base-T(X) Ethernet ports. According to the link type, the AP uses CAT 3. 4, and 5. 5e, 6 UTP cables to connect to any other network device (PCs. servers. switches, routers. or hubs).
Cable | Type | Max.Length | Connector |
10Base-T | Cat.3,4,5100-ohm | UTP100m(328ft) | RJ45 |
100Base-TX | Cat.5100-ohmUTP | UTP100m(328ft) | RJ45 |
For pin assignments for different types of cables, please refer to the following tables.

Wiring Power inputs
This device supports dual redundant power supplies, Power Supply 1 (PWR1) and Power Supply 2 (PWR2). The connectors for PWR1 and PWR2 are located on the terminal block.
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals, respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
Grounding
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screws to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
Configurations
After installing the device and connecting cables, the green power LED should turn on. Please refer to the following table for LED indication.
LED | Color | Status | Description |
