We are planning to have two new models as follows:

tDS-734 (tGW-734) : RS-485 x1, RS-232 x2 (3-wire)

UDP Search

Use "eSearch Utility“ or “VxComm Utility”, you can find the module quickly and configure the proper network settings.

Initial No Yes Factory

Run Yes No User-Defined

If there are something wrong in network settings or other settings accidentally, you can make the switch is placed in the “Init mode”. After re-booting, all values can be restored to factory settings.

Firmware Update (1/2)

Connect the tGW-700 to the same HUB or same sub-network as your PC.(For tDS-700, tGW-700, PETL-7000 and tPET Series)

Right-click above the module name and choose the firmware file in “eSearch Utility”.

Power-on reboot the module in initial mode to request the update.

Firmware Update (2/2)

The tGW-700 has a built-in feature of flash protection that prohibits modification to the firmware in the flash. Before updating the firmware, we have to set “Init Switch” in “Init” state and then power-on reboot the tGW-700 and disable the flash protection. Since the flash becomes writable, we can update the firmware through the Ethernet network 。

The code (in the boot loader) used to update the firmware image is not part of the firmware it-self. Thus, users can update the firmware even the built-in one is broken or does not exist. If the firmware update fails, we just need to rerun the update procedures again.

Note:

1. The serial ports of the tDS-700 can be also accessed via TCP socket connections. TCP port 10001 = COM1, TCP port 10002 = COM2, TCP port 10003 = COM3.

2. Users have to configure the baud rate and data format via web configuration first, else the serial ports may send garbage data.
