• • Install the drivers

• • Free-standing or rack-mount options

• • Rugged Ethercon network connectors

• • Self-powered (using USB)

• • Capable of driving 1km of network cable

• • No special cables Computer System Requirements Minimum requirements:

• • PC with Pentium processor

• • RS232 or USB port* *Note that the network will operate slightly more quickly when using RS232, so this is the preferred method of connection. Installing the Software If you only want to use the VNET™ Interface with the Serial (RS232) port of your computer, you do not need to install any drivers. If you wish to use USB, then you need to install USB drivers for this product. When you plug the USB connection of the VNET™ Interface into a computer for the rst time, the computer will say “Found new hardware”, and will prompt you to install drivers for it. Two drivers will be installed: One for the USB port itself, and one for the Virtual Com Port (VCP). Note that both of these drivers may report that they have “Not passed Windows Logo Testing”. You should select “Continue Anyway”. If the driver software has been supplied to you on a CD-ROM, place this in your CD-ROM drive. Alternatively, download the drivers from your vendor’s web site. Windows XP Driver Installation Please proceed with the following steps to install the driver:

1. Connect a USB cable from your computer (or USB hub) to the USB port of the Interface.

2. The connection brings up “Found New Hardware Wizard”.

4. Select “Search for the best driver for my device”, and click “Next”.

5. Select “Specify a location” and click “Next”. In the “Copy Manufacturer's le from”,

type “D:” where “D:” is the location of your CD-ROM (or browse to where you have copied the drivers if you have downloaded them from a web site).

6. Windows driver le searches for the device “USB VNET™ Interface”.

7. Click “Next” to continue.

8. Windows has nished installing the software. Click “Finish” to complete the rst part

9. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” appears again, and will complete the installation for the

Com Port The PodWare application uses a COM port to communicate with the connected devices. When you use the RS232 connection from your computer to the VNET™ Interface, the COM port will be the one which your computer normally uses for the Serial (RS232) port; usually COM1. When you use USB to connect from your computer to the VNET™ Interface, the Driver software causes a “Virtual COM Port” (VCP) to be created. This will appear to PodWare as just another COM port, and can be selected using Network > Com Port. To nd out the COM port which the VNET™ Interface is using, select Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports. Here, you should see an entry in the tree for an item called “USB VNET™ Port. Against this will be the COM port number (e.g. COM5). If you wish to change this to a dierent COM port number, right-click on the existing COM port tree node, select Properties > Port Settings > Advanced. There, you will see a COM port selector. Do not change it to a COM port which is already in use. External Power Supply Provision is made to power the unit from an external VNET™ Accessory Power Supply. An external supply is required in either of these two circumstances:

• • If it is desired to use an RS232 (serial) connection to the PC

• • If there are VNET™ network cable powered devices anywhere on the network If USB is being used and there are no such VNET™ cable powered devices, no external supply is required and the interface will be powered from the computer’s USB port. Connecting a Computer You can connect your computer to the VNET Interface in one of two ways: RS232 If your computer has a native Serial (RS-232) port, just connect this to the RS232 socket on the VNET™ Interface using an RS-232 extension cable (a straight-through female-to-male), as in diagram 1. When using RS232, it is necessary to supply DC power to the VNET™ Interface from the companion Accessory Power Supply product via the 3.5 mm jack cable provided with the power supply. This can power either one or two compatible accessories. Either the A or the B output on the Power supply may be used since these are identical. DevicesComputer Diagram 1 VNET In Link VNET In Link26 27Quick Start GuideVNET USB RS232 INTERFACE USB You can connect your computer to the VNET™ Interface via USB using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable as in diagram 2. It is not usually necessary to use a Power Supply to power the VNET™ Interface when using USB, since USB will supply sucient power for the Interface. If there are any Network powered devices on the network however, then it will be necessary to use the Accessory Power Supply Connecting Devices Connect the VNET™ Link socket on the VNET™ Interface to the VNET™ In socket of the rst device you wish to control, then the VNET™ Link socket of this device to the VNET™ In socket of the next device, and so on. The order in which the devices are connected is not important. The Link socket of the last device in the ‘chain’ need not be connected. The In socket of the VNET™ Interface is intended for special applications, and would not normally be connected. The “Ethercon” network connectors are fully compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet patch cables which may be used to make these connections. If additional ruggedness is required, we recommend using the Neutrik Ethercon locking type of connector. Devices BvNet Adapter Computer VNET In Link VNET In Link Diagram 2 Racking The VNET™ Interface and Accessory Power Supply may be used free-standing. If you wish to mount them in a 19-inch rack, then the VNET™ accessory rack-mount kit may be used. To mount an Accessory in the Mounting Kit panel:

1. Remove the two mounting brackets and blanking sheet which are covering the aperture

you wish to mount the Accessory in, by removing the two nuts. (Keep these and the screws and washers).

2. Remove the two screws from one side of the Accessory

3. Using the two screws removed in 2, attach one mounting bracket loosely to the side of the

Accessory, with the “ear” towards the front, pointing outwards.28 29Quick Start GuideVNET USB RS232 INTERFACE

4. Repeat 2 and 3 for the other side. Now push the lid towards the back of the unit as far as it

will go then align the bracket ears with the front edge of the lid. Now tighten the screws.

5. Oer the Accessory with its mounting brackets up

to the reverse side of the Mounting Panel, and x it inplace using the two sets of screws, washers and nuts removed in 1. Note that the holes at the rear ends of the brackets may be used as cable tie-o points if desired.30 31Quick Start GuideVNET USB RS232 INTERFACE Operation Once the VNET™ Interface has been connected to the computer and to the devices (and if applicable, to the optional VNET™ Power Supply) then there are no further adjustments to make on the interface itself. The indicators on the front of the unit operate as follows (1) The EXT Power indicator will illuminate when DC power is being applied to the EXT Power socket on the rear of the unit. (2) The NET Power indicator will illuminate when the unit is applying power to the network. This is used for powering network-powered accessories, and for signalling. (3) The USB indicator will illuminate when the unit has an active USB connection with a computer. (4) The Net DATA indicator will illuminate when data is being received from the network. (5) The Net TX indicator will illuminate when the unit is transmitting data onto the network. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Trouble Shooting The EXT Power indicator does not illuminate If you are operating via RS232, you need to use the Accessory Power Supply. Make sure this is connected properly. Check if the power indicator on the Power Supply illuminates. If you are operating via USB (and there are no network-powered devices on the network), it is not usually necessary for an external power supply to be used, in which case this indicator will not illuminate. The USB indicator does not illuminate Make sure the USB cable is plugged in both ends. If you are using a USB hub, make sure it is capable of providing sucient power. You may need to use a powered hub. Has the driver been installed? Try unplugging the USB cable, then plugging it in again. If you are using RS232, this indicator will not illuminate. Cannot nd the COM port for the USB device Has the driver been installed? Is the USB cable plugged in both ends? Does the USB indicator illuminate? (Check above). PodWare nds no devices Have you selected the correct COM port in PodWare? Are the appropriate indicators illuminated? (See above). Make sure the network cable is not too long, is correctly connected, and is not damaged. Check that the Tx indicator ashes when PodWare attempts to go online. Will not operate via RS232 Have you selected the correct COM port inPodWare? You must use the Accessory Power Supply when operating via RS232.32 33Quick Start GuideVNET USB RS232 INTERFACE Introducción / Características principales Este producto le brinda a su computadora personal conectividad a una red de dispositivos equipados con VNET™ para que puedan ser controlados y monitoreados.
