6 - Opticon Ethernet Converter
2 Getting Started
2.1 Connecting the cables and power supply
2.1.1 Power supply
Insert the included 6.0V power supply in the power connector. If the converter box is powered the orange power
indicator will be on and the green 'run' LED will be blinking.
2.1.2 RS232 Cable
If you want to connect an Opticon Handheld terminal or a simple RS232 barcode reader to the Opticon Ethernet
Converter you can use the standard RS232 cable that was included with your Opticon terminal or scanner.
Note:
If you want to replace an existing Internet solution with analog or GSM modems by Opticon Ethernet
Converters, it is possible that you need to add/remove a Null-modem to/from the cable that's currently
connected to the modem or replace the current cable by a standard RS232 cable.
2.1.3 Ethernet cable
Connect an Ethernet cable between your local network and the Ethernet Converter box. If an Ethernet signal is
detected, the orange (link) LED on the connector will be turned on. If any data is received, the green (data) LED
on the connector will blink.
2.2 Configuration of the Ethernet Converter box
Two different kinds of settings can be configured in the Ethernet Converter
§ Serial settings
Changing the baud rate (default is 115200bps)
§ Network settings Configuring the local IP, DNS server, Gateway, Subnet mask and DHCP
If the Ethernet network has a DHCP server (DHCP is enabled by default) configuring is often not even
necessary since all required network settings and local IP-address are all received automatically.
If the Ethernet network does not have a DHCP server, you will have to disable DHCP and set the local IP, DNS
server, Gateway and Subnet mask manually.
In total there are 3 different methods to configure the Ethernet Converter. All 3 will be described on the following
pages.
