1. Introduction
The AR-727CM is an Ethernet to Serial Device Communication Controller. It transparently routes the data between Ethernet Port and Serial Port. The Device Server can be used in any application that need Ethernet and with a serial communication port already. 1.1 Features - Support Serial Port Freeze Function for High Security Use - Support Lock Remote IP Function - Provide TCP/IP Server Stack and DHCP function - One asynchronous serial ports allow full-duplex, 8-bit, none parity data transfers -

Serial port hardware handshaking with CTS and RTS selectable 10BASE-T NE2000 compatible Ethernet Controller Provide 256 Bytes Serial Buffer and 256 Bytes of TCP Buffer Auto Configuration of the IP and gateway addresses and subnet function Watchdog Timer included Remote Configuration Through Ethernet or Local Configuration via Serial Port DIP Switch Selectable for RS-485 or RS-232 Interface

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 Subnet Mask Serial Port TCP Port Password
DIP Switch position OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF

: 192.168.001.254 : 255.255.255.000 : 9600,N,8,1 : 1621 : none

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 dont 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.

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

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 )

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 PCs IP Address? (Win98) Start execute enter winipcfg. (2) How to know PCs IP Address? (Win2000) Start Programs Accessories Command Prompt (3) Please see detailed parameter in next page: Setting Value Local IP Address 192.168.001 .127 Local Gateway IP 192.168.001 Address .254 Local Subnet 255.255.255 Mask .000 TCP Port 1621

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.
