Introduction

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

Serial Port Server is a complete hardware and software solution for creating remote communication ports. The software part can be uploaded to any of the Redisage C30 - C32 Ethernet Converters. It provides a communication between a LAN host and a device equipped with RS232/RS485 serial interfaces. A dedicated app makes it easy and fast to configure and deploy. There is a possibility to create virtual COM ports with the Redisage Configurator to minimize number of cables. Onboard Wi-Fi module makes it even more versatile and independent solution.

Configuration by the Web Page

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

This page presents capabilities of the Ethernet Converters configuration. First of all, make sure that converter is connected to power supply and to the LAN using a patch cord. If the device has not static IP set up, it will be necessary to obtain its IP address in the local network. User interface is mostly similar for every converters but some subpages might be diffrent for several models depends on amount of interfaces. In order to avoid some issues, click on a “Help” button in the top right corner on every page.

Default configuration

Default configuration of the Ethernet Converters:

• IP address: 192.168.100.100
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 
• Gateway: 192.168.100.1
• DNS 1: 192.168.100.1
• DNS 2: 8.8.8.8

Default login details:

• User name: admin
• Password: admin123

Login

To access the web page open the browser, type IP address of the converter (default is 192.168.100.100). Then log in using user’s personal credentials. If it is a first configuration or the converter had a factory reset, then use default login details (login: admin, password: admin123).

The configuration is available only if devices are connected to the same Local Area Network as the computer used for it.

Status page

After a successful login, there should be an insight to important information such as port status, service and port which are in use and more details about the connection.

Changing username or password

After clicking “Edit User” under the user icon, it is possible to change the username or the password.

If login details were forgotten, it would be necessary to do a factory reset via a USB/UART converter and a serial console.

Ports page

This page allows configuring the device’s ports. There is a toggle switch next to a “Port” label by which it is possible to turn ON/OFF any particular ports.

Item		Description
Service	RemoteCOM	The RemoteCOM option lets to attach the port to a computer running the Redisage Configurator as if it would be physically present in the computer.
	TCP Socket	TCP/UDP Socket exposes this port as a regular network socket - connect to this socket with own software and write/read data to send/receive data over the serial port without any additional software or serial port handling.
	UDP Socket
Port		The service number - the device has an “IP Address” by which it is identified and a couple of services running on it. It's required to tell the device which service should be in use by entering this device's IP address and the port number in the RemoteCOM client or user’s software.
Connection Timeout [s]		The time specifying how often (every how many seconds) the "keep alive" packet will be sent to check if the client is still connected. Value 0 means that the connection is kept permanently without any timeout.
Inactivity Time [ms]		The maximum allowed time in milliseconds during which there is no data transfer. When connection is inactive for the time longer or equal to the entered value, then it will be closed. Value 0 means there is no measure of the inactivity time at all.
Encryption		Determine how the data is protected 'in flight' over a network. It is available only with the RemoteCOM service. Once enabled, it is necessary to set the password.
Password		Protect the communication between the device and various clients - keep it secret! Same settings have to appear in clients - without the correct passwords, a client will not be able to connect at all.
Termination		Enable/disable termination on the RS line.
Baud Rate		Determine the port's transmission speed over the data channel.
Data Bits		Determine the number of data bits in the port's message frame.
Parity		Enable/disable parity check in the port's message frame.
Stop Bits		Determine the number of stop bits in the port's message frame.
Notes		These notes are for information only - feel free to write down anything related to this port (device it connects to, etc.). They're also shown in the Configurator during the device discovery - in the other words, they're public.

Changing port’s service closes all sockets connected to the ports.

In the UDP mode, port number 15051 is reserved for UDP broadcast service.

Network page

In this section, network settings can be changed according to target LAN parameters.

Item	Description
Configuration Method	Enable/disable the DHCP server. If the DHCP server is disabled, the IP address of the device has to be set manually.
IP Address	IP address of the device.
Netmask	Netmask associated with the IP address.
Gateway	Gateway address currently used by the device.
MAC Settings	Allow setting the default MAC address or typing it manually.
MAC Address	Allow changing the physical address of the device.

Item	Description
HTTP Port	Determine the port of the control panel.
Telnet Port	Allow connection with the device via Telnet.
Broadcasts	Notify RemoteCOM clients in the same network about this device's existence. With this enabled, the Configurator will automatically set most of the settings correctly after picking the correct port.
Hostname	Label that is assigned to the device.
DNS Address 1 (Primary)	Primary Domain Name System used by the device.
DNS Address 2	Domain Name System used by the device.

It is possible to obtain a dynamic IP address. Just switch configuration method from static IP to DHCP (automatic). This process may cause some issues with identifying converters in LAN unless there is an access to the device which is responsible for allocating IP addresses.

Keep in mind that in case of changed IP address user needs to type new IP in the address bar and log in again.

Device page

On the device page there are tools used to a firmware update, a factory reset and a device reboot.

Item	Description
Firmware Update	Update firmware.
Factory Reset	Restore default ports settings and default network configuration.
Reboot	Reboot the device.

Firmware update

The device firmware update must not be interrupted. Update the device only if experiencing issues, being instructed to do so by our support or requiring the latest features/bugfixes. Failure during the update may 'brick' the device and make it unusable.

Use the remote-com-esp32.fir file for a firmware update.

Factory reset

To restore default settings, press the “Factory Reset” button. After that, user will be asked to type “RESET”. Then it will take a few seconds to reload the web page and restart the device.

Configuration by the Telnet Console‎

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

The device can be also configured via the Telnet Console. Firstly, make sure that converter is connected to the power supply and to the LAN using a patch cord. Knowledge of the device’s IP address (default is 192.168.100.100) and Telnet port number (default is 23) is necessary to establish a connection.

Use command below in a terminal window to connect to the device:

telnet <ip_address> <port_number>

If the connection is successful there will be a login prompt visible. Log in using user’s personal credentials or the default login details (login: admin, password: admin123). If login is successful, it will be possible to start typing configuration commands.

The configuration is available only if devices are connected to the same Local Area Network as the computer used for it.

Factory reset is not available from the Telnet Console level.

Configuration by the Serial Console‎

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

Another way to configure the device is via a serial console. C30 - C32 require a dedicated USB/UART converter connected to the USB micro-B connector on the front of the device (check our converters).

Procedure to enter serial console mode on C30 - C32

• Turn off the power of the device.
• Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
• Connect USB/UART converter to the PC.
• Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
• Short the FG and GND ports.
  
• Turn on the power.
• Wait until the ST indicator (orange LED) lights up (it should light up after red light - service mode).
• Open the the DI and GND ports.
  
• Login using user’s personal credentials or default login details.
• If the process is successful, configuration commands can be typed into the terminal.
  

Once this is done, log in using the default username and password, then change the network settings using "ipconfig" command.

Changing username or password

To change username or password, use user command. Available commands:

• user help
  Print the help message.
  
  
• user mod_name USER_NAME NEW_NAME
  Change the user name to NEW_NAME. It fails if the name is used by another user.
  
  Example:
  user mod_name admin john
  
  
• user passwd USER_NAME
  Change USER_NAME's password.
  
  Example:
  user passwd admin
  ****** <- here is entered password, but '*' appears instead
  
  Note: Everyone can change the password for themselves.

Service mode

Procedure to enter service mode for C30 - C32 converters

• Turn off the power of the device.
• Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
• Connect the USB/UART converter to the PC.
• Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
• Short the DI and GND ports.
  
• Turn on the power.
• Wait until the ST indicator (red LED) lights up.
• Open the the DI and GND ports.
  
• If the process is successful, service commands can be typed into the terminal.

List of commands in the service mode

Command	Description
help	Print the help.
credits	Print current credits value for this device.
dev_ident	Print the device identification value.
restart	Restart the system.
serial_num	Print the serial number of this device.
version	Display the bootloader version.
xmodem	Download image to the internal flash using xmodem.
defaults	Reset application variables to defaults.
ipconfig	Print or change the network configuration.
flash_read	Read bytes from flash memory.
md	Read bytes from memory address.

In the service mode, the “ipconfig” command can only show a last static IP address.

Factory reset

To restore default settings, type “defaults”. After that, user will be asked to type “default network” to reset the network settings as well. Then user will be informed if the process is successful.

Additional notes

In order to avoid issues like connecting to host, type “help” to get more information.

To get more details about every particular command, append “help” after each commands (example: "ipconfig help").

Redisage Configurator‎

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

Redisage Configurator is an app used to emulate connection between converter and a PC as if its RS232/RS485 ports would be connected directly to the COM port. The advantage of that functionality is lack of additional cables. Transmission can be tested over Ethernet. First connect the device to a local network using the Ethernet port and power it up. During the configuration process set “Service” to the RemoteCOM option on the “Ports” page.

While changing port service from RemoteCOM to TCP/UDP Socket make sure to disable RemoteCOM virtual port in the Redisage Configurator first.

Redisage VSP Driver

In order for Redisage Configurator to work properly, it is necessary to install the Redisage VSP Driver. It can be done with RedisageVSPDriver Installer available for Windows. You can download it for free here.

Redisage Configurator

When the device is configured open the Redisage Configurator app.

Use the “Add Device” button to set up a new connection with a device. On the right side there should be a list of available devices visible. Choose one of them or specify a custom COM port number, an IP address and a service port number.

While specifying a custom virtual COM make sure to use the same IP address and service port as set earlier in the port configuration.

In order to establish a connection with a desired device use the “Enable” button. To end the connection use the “Disable” button. Service IP/hostname, service port and password can be modified at any time. There are also available 2 options of the encryption methods (none (disabled) or strong (AES-GCM 128-bit, Argon2)) and 5 options of the connection timeout (brief, short, fair, modest or lengthy). Changes have to be saved with “Save Changes” button.

There is also the “Settings” tab at the top of the window from where the Logging Directory or the Device Manager can be opened.

If everything is connected properly there should be a new COM port available in the Device Manager. It is also possible to check it, for example, on the web page.

If any change is made to the port configuration, make sure to apply it with the “Save Changes” button.

Troubleshooting

If a discovered device cannot be added, check if it hadn’t been added before with a different COM port / service port. In that case, delete previous configuration from the Redisage Configurator.

If that doesn't work, check if the port service was configured correctly for the RemoteCOM Service.
