3. Hardware Installation
Prepare necessary cables, hub, power cord and RS232/RS485 connector.
Connect STE-601C to Ethernet network via hub/switch or direct connect to host computer through cross
over cable.
Connect a serial device to a serial port of STE-601C, make sure the right connection of either RS-232 or
RS-485.
Plug in DC9-30V, the buzzer will beep and the RUN LED will blink if STE-601C functions normally.
Please refer to Appendix A.4 to see all of LED messages.
Use
monitor.exe
configuration utility in the product CD or diskette to diagnose STE-601C. If it starts up
successfully, you are able to find the IP and MAC addresses of STE-601C. You can change the network
parameters of STE-601C to join your LAN by changing its IP address, gateway IP address and subnet
mask.

3.2 Assigning a new IP Address by ARP command
ARP –s is used to assign a static IP address of STE-601C and add this static entries to the ARP cache of the
computer, when TCP/IP packet with destination port number 1 is sent to STE-601C, it causes the device to
check its MAC address with IP address, once STE-601C finds those two unmatched, it will reboot and
change to the new IP address which was set by ARP –s command. The following example uses ARP to
assign a static IP address of STE-601C using its MAC address printed on the label of the rear panel, then
use Telnet to send the TCP/IP packet with destination port number 1 to STE-601C, after STE-601C reboots
it will change its IP address to the new one.
