Installation
Web Browser Method
1. Plug in the power adapter and connect the RJ45 interface to your LAN.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can also use a crossover cable to connect the NETRS2321P
directly to your system for the initial conguration.
2. Press and hold the load default button for more than 3 seconds and less than 10
seconds, then release it. This will return the serial device server to factory default
and it will respond to the IP address 10.1.1.1.
3. Congure the PC to the same IP domain.
4. Open a web browser and connect to http://10.1.1.1 to open the conguration
interface. The default login ID will be “admin” and the password will be “admin”.
5. To change your settings (for example, IP addresses) update the “System IP” section
under “Administrator” on the left-hand navigation tree.
Virtual COM Port Application
1. Plug in the power adapter and connect the RJ45 interface to your LAN.
2. Insert the included CD and launch the VirtualCom software.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install VirtualCom and WinPcap.
4. Once installed, double-click the VCOM shortcut to launch the
application.
5. Click the Search button in the VCOM software window to locate the device.
NOTE: You may receive a rewall notication at this point of the install, please allow
access to this application

Broadcast Search
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NETRS2321P devices that are
connected to the same LAN as your computer. Since the Broadcast Search function
searches by MAC address and not IP address, all NETRS2321P connected to the LAN
will be located, regardless of whether or not they are part of the same subnet as
the host.
NOTE: Broadcast packet packets are not passed through a router. The VCom utility can
only be used to monitor devices in the same segment of the LAN.
Web Console Operation
Enter the IP address you have set for the NETRS2321P device into your web browser
address bar (default IP: 10.1.1.1) and you will prompted to login with your user ID and
password (Default: admin/admin).
After a successful login, you will see Administrator, TCP Mode, UDP Mode, UART, and
Reset Device selections in left frame of the web console.
See the full manual at www.StarTech.com/NETRS2321P for a detailed explanation of
web console functions.
Virtual COM Software Operation
The Virtual Com application lets you install and congure your NETRS2321P easily over
the network. Five function groups are provided to ease the installation process, allow
COM mapping, and provide monitoring and IP location server functions.
Conguration
Once the software is installed and you have searched the device on your network
(outlined in Installation section), all NETRS2321P devices on the LAN should appear in
the list of available devices.
Select the one you would like to adjust and click the Congure button. You will be
prompted to enter your User ID and Password (Default: admin / admin)
Congure the device and press the OK button
COM Mapping
To map a virtual COM port, select COM Mapping from the left pane of the VCOM
application, then click Add
Click OK to create the COM Mapping
TCP/UDP
Depending on the protocol you are using, the options below will enable/disable
automatically as applicable.
Instruction Manual

Server/Client (TCP Mode only)
Set the device to be a Telnet Server. In server mode, the Telnet port listens and waits
for a host or other client to make a connection. In this case the Ethernet connected
device is the client.
Set the device to be a Telnet Client. In the case the Ethernet connected device is the
Telnet server or other NETRS2321P in server mode.
IP Address
Depending on your selections above, there are one of three scenarios:
TCP Server - Disabled
TCP Client - Remote Server Address
UDP - Remote Target Address
Local Port
Assigns the local port for the device to listen on
TCP Server – Assigns the TCP server port number that the server will listen on
TCP Client – Disabled
UDP – Assign the UDP port that this unit listens on
COM
Assign the desired virtual COM port number
Remote Port
TCP Server – Disabled
TCP Client – Assign the remote TCP port you wish to communicate on
UDP – Assign the remote UDP port you wish to communicate on
Enable Control Connection (TCP Server or Client Only)
Enables/Disables control of the serial device on a remote network. Using the IP
address and port number allows the user to gain control of the receiver from a remote
location when this is enabled.
Second(s) for reconnection interval
Dictates the duration that the software will automatically attempt to reconnect the
COM port to the serial port on the serial device server, for the purpose of keeping the
connection alive.
See the full manual at www.StarTech.com/NETRS2321P for a detailed explanation of
web console functions.
