On the front panel there are :

1. RS232 connector, DB9 female (a). This connector is used both by specialists for de-
bugging, for manufacturer reserved purposes, for software updates and initialization
of the board, both, in this specific application, for connection to a PSTN modem. The
layout of the circuit is typical of RS232 type, so a 1:1 standard serial cable can be
used to PC connection. For modem connection, however, see “Connections” chapter.

Product description 7
2. Status led (b). The meaning is clear through the symbols that represent them. Spe-
cifically:
• n°1-2 are flashing if it is being a transmission/reception over RS232 or a transmis-
sion/reception on RS485;
• n°3 if it is on it indicates that the unit is under power;
• n°4 shows the “vitality” of the equipment. In normal operation this led flashes
every 2 seconds, and if the unit is locked or has problems, the led is always on or
always off;
• n°5 if it is on it indicates the presence of an alarm;
• n°6 if it is on it indicates that an SNMP query was successful;
• n°7 are switched respectively if there is an on going transmission/reception over
Ethernet or a transmission/reception over the fixed network.
3. Ethernet socket (c). For more details, see “Connections” chapter.
On the front panel, on the left, there are:

4. DB15 HD connector (d). This connection is used to interrupt power to the modem.
Normally the modem is switched off and its power is driven by the main electronic
board. After a switching on it resets the modem if the sequence of initialization is
in the configuration file and, thanks to this link, sending a reset also the modem is
turned off, then turned on and eventually resetted. For details, see “Connections”
chapter.
5. Led (green) “CLOSED” (e). Indicates whether the modem is turned on or off. If the
modem is turned on, the led is just lit.
6. Led (red) “ALARMS” (f). If it is on it indicates the presence of at least one active
alarm, if it is off indicates that no alarm is active, while if it is flashing, at least one
of the connected equipment has been banned from the poll. Disabling in fact an
equipment and giving the command to reset you can receive alarms (for details
“Alarms manager” chapter). The led is a “reminder” that a signal received from the
alarms manager remains pending. To remove the flashing signal, having solved the
problem, to rehabilitate the machine excluded from polling function.
7. “RESET” button (g). It has the function to reset the entire system. The user, in fact, is
informed of an alarm only if it is the first, then it does not run any more alarm until
it gets reset. To enable the command the button must hold down for 5 seconds.
8. Led (green) (h). This led is blinking for 5 seconds by pressing the RESET button. At
the end of 5 seconds the reset command is sent to all parts of the system. The led
is always ON if the ANT unit is in LOCAL mode (as the blue led, near the switch-key,
appears ON), it is always OFF if the ANT unit is in REMOTE mode.
9. Key switch (i). To put the machine in LOCAL or REMOTE mode. In REMOTE mode the
alarm procedure is enabled. In LOCAL mode the alarm procedure is not enabled, but
the polling function of all equipment and the Omron over IP or over modem fun-
ctions remain active. If the unit is in local mode the blue led is on. This is an useful
configuration to the maintenance locally.

2 Connections
2.1 Connections scheme

The connections of this device with other elements with which it interacts must meet
the requirements below.
Connect CAB0450_0 cable from DB9 RS485 on rear panel of ANT unit (these connectors
are two and it does not matter what you use) to any RS485 port on front or on rear
panel of any Elenos device.
If the connection is on RS485 port on rear panel of an Elenos device the transfer rate
is 38400 baud, if it is RS485 port on front panel of an Elenos device the transfer rate is
9600 baud.
One exception is Echos3 (telemetry), where the connection should be made through the
back port of the telemetry with CAB0507_1 cable and the transfer rate is 38400 baud.
Then, connect CAB0502_1 cable from DB9 on front panel of ANT unit to DB25 on a PSTN
modem. The transfer rate can be set freely, depending on the type of modem (typically
9600, 19200 or 38400 baud).
Connect CAB0485_0 cable one hand to DB15 HD on front panel of ANT unit, other side
to modem power supply and to power connector of modem.
The Ethernet connector is used or to realize the function Omron over IP, or to change
the system configuration file. In this case just an FTP client (like Filezilla, freeware) and
username and password are required.
Switch on the apparatus, having connected to the mains (230VAC), with the switch to
“1”.

3 Alarms manager
3.1 Alarms manager features description

Through the RS232 port, positioned in ANT unit front panel, you can make both de-
bugging/updating (usually applications reserved to the constructor) and implement
“Alarms manager/Omron over Modem” features, connecting over a modem or a PC,
emulating a modem.
The sole modem suitable for this unit is the PSTN one. The ANT unit is not yet able to
manage GSM modems.
Specifically, since the communication is bidirectional, when the alarms manager dials
the enabled devices (datacenters and pagers), it sends them the alarms messages
(alarms manager function), when the system administrator dials the ANT unit, he may
manage the whole system thru the Omron over modem function.
Through the Ethernet port, however, placed in ANT unit front panel, you can make both
debugging/firmware updating/configuration (usually applications reserved to the con-
structor), and implement Omron over IP feature. This application is equivalent to Omron
over Modem, but in fact is realized on IP.
See “Omron over IP” chapter.
The communication is based, on both ports, on Omron Protocol.

We report here a tutorial link reference on Omron Protocol:
http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=907
The main characteristic of “Alarms manager” is to focus the state of all devices connec-
ted to it and analyze it in terms of alarms.
When a malfunction happens, it is communicated to all users enabled to receive it.
An administrator may link with the unit (Omron over Modem or Omron over IP) and
may check alarms, query the system machines (including ANT unit) and check the sta-
tus of devices connected to the bus 485.
Hostlink tables describe the available parameters. Elenos will provide these informa-
tions to customers developing their own remote management software.
In general, these include : address, meaning and mode of interaction (reading and wri-
ting) of each variable.
Warning : all issues relating to the implementation and network management,

security and communications are under the responsibility of the end user.
3.2 How to use

Made all the necessary connections (including to a PSTN modem) the ANT unit can start
its functions.
If the modem is ON, the green led, called CLOSE (“e” in the picture of “Product descrip-
tion” chapter) will be ON, otherwise will be OFF.
Identified to how many and to which addresses is linked (information that is retrieved
in configuration file. cfg, installed by the manufacturer on the electronic board) the
alarms manager starts to poll the connected devices in order to determine the presence
of an error state.
Alarms manager 17
At the first error found alarms manager starts the alarm procedure and on the front
panel the red led is ON (“f” in the picture of “Product description” chapter).
Other errors states don’t activate other alarm procedures until reset.
User may decide to disable from the polling (locally or remotely) the device in error
status and set the reset.
In this phase the green led “h” will flash for 5 seconds, after which the reset will be
sent to all equipment.
In this way, the alarms manager will again start new allarm procedures if it identifies
other errors.
The red led will now be flashing to indicate that a device has been disabled by the
control.
Solved the problem on that device, the user can enable it to the polling.
The red led turns off.
3.2.1 Alarm procedure

Found an error state the unit starts to dial in order to report the alarm.
The telephone numbers enabled are in the configuration file .cfg.
These numbers can be both DATA CENTER and PAGER. If it is DATA CENTER the unit will
send a string (see below the format) and will be shut down communication. If it is PA-
GER the unit will send 5 alphanumeric characters, defined by the user, and will be shut
down communication.
Data center string :

ELENOS;ANT_UNIT;$STATION ID;$OMRON_ID;$ERR_N°;$ERR_DESCRIPTION
where
• $STATION ID is the identification number of the station
• $OMRON_ID is ANT unit Omron ID, it is 0
• ERR_N° is error number
• ERR_DESCRIPTION is error string “COMUNICATION FAULT : ID N° xx DOESN’T ANSWER”, with xx =
Omron ID of device with problems.
For each enabled number a call is authorized, if the number is busy or does not respond
in PagerHangupDelay seconds the unit waits for DelayBetweenRetrys seconds and
try again.
The maximum number of proofs is equivalent to NumberOfRetrys times and then goes
to the next number.
Completed a first cycle of calls, it waits for WindowBetweenAlarms seconds. In this
time it continues to make the polling with enabled equipment and it waits calls on the
modem or connections on the Ethernet port.
In fact, during a cycle of phone calls the unit does not accept incoming calls, while in
the waiting time between cycles it accepts calls.
Warning : a call to the alarms manager stops momentarily operations unit.
If the connected user disables a device from the polling and gives the reset, the call
procedure is interrupted.
Otherwise the procedure is repeated for NumberOfResends cycles.
18 Alarms manager
3.2.1.1 EXAMPLE
Configuration :
IDString=”Test Elenos”
AlarmEnable=1 Phone.1=0123456789; 1; 0
Phone.2=9876542123; 0; 0
Phone.3=2154569872,1234; 1; 1
Phone.4=2587452148; 0; 0
Phone.5=4251862145,1234; 1; 1
WindowBetweenAlarms=600
DelayBetweenRetrys=60
PagerHangupDelay=50
NumberOfResends=10
NumberOfRetrys=2
Worst case : any number answer.
Explanation :
The alarm manager is scheduled to call, in case of alarm, 3 numbers and each number
is called 2 times.
The time between calls is 60 seconds, while it waits 50 seconds from dialing, then it
calls the next number.
At the end of a cycle of 3x2 calls (3 = number of calls, 2 = number of calls per user), so
here after 360 seconds, it stops the “short” round of calls (Phase A).
The alarms manager starts to count both PagerHangupDelay and DelayBetweenRetrys
in the same moment. So the two times overlap and the most important is the longest
time.
So Phase A can take up to six calls per 60 seconds maximum.
At the end of the last 60 seconds, in which the alarms manager is deaf to incoming
calls, it starts the period for accepting the call, so it waits 600 seconds (Phase B) before
resuming a new round of 3x2 calls (PHASE A ).
Phase A and phase B are alternating, A is 360 seconds and B is 600 seconds.
If a data center calls the modem during the PHASE A the alarms manager doesn’t accept
the incoming call, while alarms manager listens to the ring during any single stage B.
For a better understanding of the configuration parameters, please, see “Alarms mana-
ger configuration” annex.

3.2.2 Omron over Modem
The product described here is an open system, in fact to “talk” with the ANT unit can
choose the Omron over IP interface created by Elenos or a management software crea-
ted by the user to Omron over IP or Omron over Modem communication.
The modem connection with a PC with a PSTN modem.

The procedure, for example, is as follows:
Windows Start / All Programs / Accessories / Communications / Network connections.
In the opened window click “Create a new connection.”

It starts the wizard:
Connection to the corporate network/Remote connection.
Enter the name of the station.
Enter the phone number to call (unit ANT number).
A new network connection is created. The administrator may use it each time to con-
nect the unit.

4 Omron over IP
4.1 Omron over IP features description

Omron over IP functionality, described here, is a web application written in PHP which
allows, through Omron protocol, to read/change the data of an Elenos apparatus or
system.
The data are sent from the application over Internet.
ANT unit must be connected through the Ethernet port, located on its front panel, to the
Ethernet network, while a remote user must have his PC connected to Internet.
The IP address assigned to the ANT unit must be public or must be realized a VPN net-
work.
The application can be installed on any type of web server and therefore can work on
any operating system.
The product comes from Elenos or already installed and configured on a PC; or the
installation/configuration is delegated to the user, if he is specialized and expert on the
subject.
For a basic installation you can use the Zend Server CE, which integrates in a single
procedure the Apache web server istallation, MySQL database server installation, the
management web interface and PHP interpreter.

5.1 Alarms manager configuration

The setup of alarms manager can be made whether editing the equipmentconfig.cfg
file or writitng parameters into the hostlink table.
5.1.1 Editing the equipmentconfig.cfg file

Needs: a PC with an Ethernet socket, OS Windows or Linux, Filezilla or other FTP softwa-
res, an Ethernet twisted pair cable between PC and ANT unit.
In case the computer and ANT unit are connected directly to the local Ethernet network,
it doesn’t need the twisted pair cable.
Filezilla is an FTP freeware software and it may be downloaded from http://filezilla-
project.org/download.php?type=client.
• Launch Filezilla, insert as host the IP address of the board, insert username and
password. Then push the connect pushbutton.
• On the “home/ant/cfg” directory you may find the equipmentconfig.cfg file.
Annex 27
• Click on it with the right mouse button and transfer this file on PC.
• Then you may modify the copy saved into your computer.
• After the modifications, you may download the updated file into the board simply
clicking on it with right mouse button.
• In order to make the configuration file modifications active, switch off and then on
the board, or send a reset command thru Omron messages.
