AR-727CM has two way of power supply, one from power jack and one from DB9. In general usually, The Serial Device has DC power already, so AR-727CM can share the power with Serial Device. The DB9 pin-4 connect to Power Ground (V-), pin-6 Connect to Power Source (V+). If you power AR-727CM from Adapter, remove the jumper from JP1.

3. Configuration 3.1 Reset To Factory Default

Press RESET button more than 5 seconds, The BUSY LED will flash 5 times, then AR-727CM will restore to Factory Default value. DIPswitch is OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF position.

IP Address : 192.168.001.127 Gateway IP : 192.168.001.254 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.000 Serial Port : 9600,N,8,1

TCP Port : 1621 Password : none

DIP Switch position

OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF

3.2 DHCP Function

AR-727CM support Auto Configuration of the

IP and gateway addresses and subnet mask function, but must make sure the DHCP Server is active. Switch DIP SW-4 to “ON” position then power cycle the Device. In begging state the ACT LED will flashing, After IP has got ACT LED will off and auto save the new IP address to EEPROM, Switch DIP SW-4 to “OFF” position and move DIP SW-1 to “ON” position then you can get the new IP from Serial port via Hyper terminal.

3.3 How to configure the IP address assigned to your AR-727CM device? 3.3.1 Get IP address by using Net727i software Usually, the network of some company don’t built-in the DHCP Server. Therefore, we can use the following method to get default IP address and modify it. The steps as follows: Step 1: Press RESET button more than 5 seconds, The BUSY LED will flash 5 times,

then AR-727CM will restore to Factory Default value. Step 2 Open explorer, click “My Network Places” and press right key to open Properties.

Ste

:

p 3: Click “Local Area Connection” and press right key to open Properties. Then double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to open Properties.

5

Step 4: Click ”Use the following IP address” and enter IP address 192.168.001.64, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Step 5: Click “ok” to exit. Step 6: Install Net727i.exe into your PC and run Net727i.exe

(Start → Programs → soyal software → Net727i )

6

Step 7: Click “Get” to get default Local IP Address, Gateway, Netmask and TCP Port. Step 8: Change new address and parameters then click “write”.

Step 9: If AR-727CM connects to soyal controller, please switch DIP Switch position to OFF, OFF, ON, OFF to RS-485 RUN Mode.

Remark: (1) How to know PC’s IP Address? (Win98)

Start → execute → enter “winipcfg”. (2) How to know PC’s IP Address? (Win2000)

Start → Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt → C:\> ipconfig (3) Please see detailed parameter in next page:

Setting Value Notes NecessityLocal IP Address 192.168.001

.127 Defines own IP Address of the AR-727CM Required

60 This device automatically closes TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.

Optional

Serial Port Hardware Handshaking (RTS/CTS)

- An exchange of signal over specific wires which each device indicates its readiness to send or receive data.

3.3.2 Get IP address by DHCP Server AR-727CM support Auto Configuration of the IP and gateway addresses and subnet

mask function, but must make sure the DHCP Server is active. The steps as follows: Step 1: Switch DIP Switch position to OFF, OFF, OFF, ON. Step 2: Power cycle the device Step 3: In begging state the ACT LED will flashing, after IP has got ACT LED will off and auto save the new IP address to EEPROM. Step 4: Switch DIP SW-4 to “OFF” position and move DIP SW-1 and SW-2 to “ON” position Step 5:To modify parameter on the AR-727CM through the Hyper-Terminal function of the Window. (Start → Programs → Accessories → Communication → Hyper Terminal) Step 6: Click “Hyper-Terminal”. Step 7: key-in any temporary name. Shown as follows: It is not important matter.
