Before you begin

The instruction manual provides information on installing and operating the device. The instruction manual is
always part of the supply. Only perform installation after becoming thoroughly familiar with this User Guide and
device functions. Problem-free function of the device also depends on the way it was shipped, stored and
handled. If you notice any signs of damage, deformation, malfunction or a missing part, do not install this product
and return it to the point of sale. At the end of its service life, the product and its parts must be treated as
electronic waste. Before starting the installation, make sure that all wires and connected parts are not under
voltage. When assembling and performing maintenance, you must uphold safety regulations, standards,
directives and special provisions for working with electrical equipment.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the eLAN-RS485/232 converter.

• The eLAN-RS485/232 (eLAN-RS) allows you to control from your smart phone, tablet, or by using the Conection
air conditioner and their handheld devices.
• The eLAN-RS485/232 is connected to the home network (router) via the LAN network cable and communicates
with a smartphone.
• Intuitive application environment offers centralized control from one place.
• If you do not have a fixed IP address, the converter will automatically get it from the DHCP server.
• Power converter with 10-27 V DC adapter (included) or PoE 24V DC power supply (router).
• You need a Connection Server (to communicate with the application) to install.
• Set up via web interface.

Installing, setting IP address

Use an Ethernet cable to connect it to your local network. Your local network (router) will allocate the eLAN-RS IP
address. By default, automatic IP address retrieval (DHCP) is set on eLAN-RS.

You can find the IP address using the ELKO Finder, where you type in ELAN RS485-232

Please download the latest version of ELKO Finder: https://www.elkoep.com/converter-elan-rs485232-en

After clicking Search devices, the program searches for all RS converters on your network.

Logging to the web interface

Start a web browser.
In the Internet browser, type the IP address of your eLAN-RS to the Address bar.
Once the specified IP address is confirmed, the web server login page is loaded.
The factory settings for signing in as administrator are:

Name: admin
Password: elkoep

Login options:

 It is possible to log into the eLAN-RF-Wi-003 web interface either as the administrator (admin) with full
access to controls and settings, or as the user (user), for whom only the panel itself is displayed.
 The user thus only has the option of controlling the device (the factory setting of the password for logging
in as admin and user is: elkoep).
 Both users log into the same dialog field (Login, Password), but each uses his/her own name and
password.

 Confirm the log in by pressing: Login.

Note: to RESET the eLAN-RS press the (> 10s) button on the front panel of the transmitter for a long time. The IP
address and login data will return to the factory settings, automatic IP address retrieval (DHCP) is set.

The default login password for both admin and user is: elkoep.

 Accounts allows you to change your login credentials for your admin or user account. Click
on Edit account to display the data entry dialog.

 Load & Save settings

Load - restore the backup settings that you have previously saved to your PC (the file has a .bin extension).

Save - backup of current eLAN-RS settings including network settings.

Network settings: allows you to configure network settings, change network settings.

Note: After changing the IP address (static address setting), you need to use the new IP address to log in to
eLAN-RS. If the connection is not working after entering the new IP address, you must reconfigure the connected
device (PC) to the same subnet.

 Firmware update enables firmware update (FW) in eLAN-RS485/232.

To update FW eLAN-RS:
1. Download the latest version of FW for eLAN-RS from the Web site.
2. Click the Update button to select the downloaded file (the FW update file must always contain the * bin
extension).
Pressing the OK button, this automatically starts the FW update in your eLAN-RS.

Note: do not turn off device or use the Reset button when updating the firmware. The eLAN-RS restarts after
updating. After the firmware update, all settings will remain preserved. This means that the set IP, login data,
visualization panel will remain the same as with the SW version prior to the update.

 Communication mode allows you to set the communication mode.

You can set these types of communication modes:

TCP-RS485/232 Bridge, Modbus RTU, Nilan, Air Pohoda, Jablotron, LG PI485, Paradox, Daikin,
Mitsubishi, Cairox, Aseko, Misol MeteoStation

Converter specification for selected TCP-RS485 / 232 Bridge communication mode:

• Only one client can be connected to a TCP port at a time.
• Bridge listens on TCP port 53.
• The recommended maximum message size is 2kB (otherwise data on the serial line may be lost).
• Recommended maximum size of message sent to TCP is 1kB.
• Received data from the serial line are sent to TCP when the send buffer is full (1kB) or in case of 10ms idle time
on the serial line.

Set Interface - it is necessary to select the interface to communicate with the device (RS485 or RS232).

When selecting the communication mode, Baudrate, Length data bits, Stop bit and Parity are automatically set
according to the default specification of the device.

We recommend comparing the initial settings in the device's manual to verify that the parameters are set
correctly. In case there were any changes on the device side, it is necessary to edit them manually in the
Communication mode folder in eLAN.

After loading, 4 sections will appear:

Status of individual sections. The maximum number of sections is 15.

OFF (section deactivated)
BLOCKED (section blocked)
SERVICE (section under maintenance)
SECTION STATE
READY (section is normal)
ARMED_PART (section partially secure)
ARMED (section is secured)

States of individual PG outputs. The maximum number of PG outputs is 32.

PG STATE OFF - PG output is inactive
ON - PG output is active
States of individual detectors. The maximum number of detectors is 192 (the number depends
on the installation)
PRF STATE
true - the detector is active
false - the detector is inactive
List of active flags in the section.
OK (no flag active)
INTERNAL_WARNING (internal siren active)
EXTERNAL_WARNING (external siren active)
SYSTEM FLAGS FIRE_ALARM (fire alarm)
INTRUDER_ALARM (intruder alarm)

 Date & Time allows you to set the date and time.

Here the IP address of the NTP server is set by default, which determines for the eLAN the precise time via the
Internet. If your eLAN-RS is not connected to internet network, then time is always set to 12:00 AM

You can also set the time zone in which the eLAN is located.

Daylight Saving Time will activate daylight saving time settings.

The current day is set manually with button Set manual time.

During power failure, time information is erased from eLAN memory.
