1.1 Brief Introduction
SINAPACK 200 is an industrially designed product, and is especially
used with PLCs. SINAPACK 200 provides program download and data
acquisition functionalities for PLCs that have RJ-45 Ethernet interface,
or RS232/RS485 serial interfaces. It supports PLCs from Siemens,
Mitsubishi, Omron, Panasonic, Delta, Fatek, etc. SINAPACK 200
connects with WIFI/WAN network, and with PLC programming tools or
SCADA software to implement remote program download and data
acquisition.
SINAPACK 200 is an enhanced version of PLC-505. Compared with
PLC-505, its panel is more compact, and has stand-up shape in
response to customers’ request that can massively save installation
space.
SINAPACK 200 has two RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, one of which (LAN1)
can be used as WAN as well, one RS232 and one RS485 serial
interfaces. Ethernet interfaces and serial interfaces can be used at the
same time.
SINAPACK 200 has WIFI functionality, and supports 802.11b/g/n
protocol. In theory the highest speed can be 150Mbps. Mobile phones,
PCs or other devices that have WIFI functionality can bind SINAPACK
200’s WIFI access point and share Internet access via SINAPACK 200.
SINAPACK 200 User Manual

This greatly extends the number of devices that can connect with
SINAPACK 200 at the same time.
SINAPACK 200 can use WAN or WIFI network: in case cable network is
available, WAN (LAN1) port can be used to access cable network; and
in case WIFI is available, SINAPACK 200 can be configured to access
internet via WIFI. WAN and WIFI are all supported by SINAPACK 200,
this greatly facilitates customer’s project deployment that customers
do not have to choose different devices from different suppliers
because of different network access at the spot. This can not only save
procurement cost, but also reduce maintenance effort for the projects.
SINAPACK 200 is easy to use, and is plug-n-play without any
configuration. Together with eTung’s eYun platform and
Virhub/Vircom software, it can be easy to integrate with PLC
programming software, and there is no extra integration effort.
SINAPACK 200 is stable and easy-to-use, thus greatly facilitates
project deployment.

1.5 Working Mechanism
Figure 1-6: SINAPACK 200 working mechanism
SINAPACK 200 has RJ45 Ethernet interface and RS232/RS485 serial
interface, so it can connect with PLCs that have Ethernet interface or
serial interface, and Ethernet and serial interfaces can be used at the
same time.
1. Usage of Ethernet interface
SINAPACK 200 connects with PLC via Ethernet cross cable, and
after power on, it connects into Internet via Cable/WIFI network,
then establishes connection with mServer. At the same time Virhub
software is run at the host computer and connects to mServer as
well. Then with Virhub functionality PLC and the host computer are
in the same virtual LAN, and user software at the host computer can
then access PLC, to download or update program.
2. Usage of serial interface
SINAPACK 200 connects PLC with RS232 (or RS485) serial port. After
power on it connects into Internet via Cable/WIFI network, then
establishes connection with mServer. At the same time Vircom is run
at the host computer and connects to mServer as well, then user
software at the host computer can use the virtual serial port from
Vircom to implement bi-directional communication with PLC, thus
perform remote control and program update.

contact eTung technical support.
4) Detect IP address of devices via Virhub
In order that PC running Virhub can communicate with devices at the
far end that connect to SINAPACK 200, the devices’ IP must be known
beforehand. Virhub’s “Detect IP” functionality can automatically detect
the devices’ IP.
In Virhub’s interface, right-click the terminal and choose “Detect IP”,
offer the device IP’s subnet area, and then click “Detect IP”; and after a
while, the IPs detected will be shown in the list, as shown in the figure
below:
SINAPACK 200 User Manual

Figure Appendix 1-9: Detect device’s IP address
Attention:
1) The terminal must be online to use this functionality;
2) Virhub version must be V9.0 or higher.
4. Access SINAPACK 200 remotely via Virhub
SINAPACK 200 can be accessed remotely via Virhub. Normally, SINAPACK
200 accesses Internet via Cable/WIFI network, and gets an inner IP
address, and it cannot be accessed from the internet via this inner IP.
eTung’s Virhub solution can solve the problem. First, enable Virhub function
on SINAPACK 200, and set a remote access IP; the remote access IP is
dedicated to access SINAPACK 200 remotely when Virhub is enabled on it.
Then run Virhub software on the far-end PC, and configure an IP address on
the Virtual Network adapter; this IP must be in the same range as the
remote access IP on SINAPACK 200. This way, we can access the router
remotely on the far-end PC via the remote access IP, to perform
configuration, system monitoring, etc. Below are the details about the
configuration procedure.
1) Configure the router’s remote access IP
According to “2.1 Configuring SINAPACK 200”, go to the router’s Virhub
configuration, enable Virhub and configure username, then there are
two parameters: “Remote Access IP” and “Remote Access Mask”, with
default values: 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0.
SINAPACK 200 User Manual
38
Figure Appendix 1-10: Configure SINAPACK 200r’s remote access IP
Normally set the two parameters with default values, and they can also
be changed on demand. Press “Save” after configuration, and then
reboot the router. These two parameters can also be changed/checked
via remote AT commands, please refer “2.5 Remote Configurations”.
2) Configure the Virtual Network adapter’s IP address to access SINAPACK
200 remotely
Run Virhub software, click button “Configure”, and on the popped up
“Settings” dialog, set the Virtual Network adapter’s IP address in
“Virtual Network IP” part. IP2 is the IP address set on the Virtual
Network adapter to access SINAPACK 200 remotely via Virhub, and this
IP must be in the same range as the “Remote Access IP”
(192.168.168.1 by default) set on SINAPACK 200 in step 1), for
example, 192.168.168.*.
SINAPACK 200 User Manual

NOTE: Some SINAPACK 200 types do not have WIFI module, and then
cannot access Internet via WIFI.
SINAPACK 200 supports WIFI Bridge, and by default it is disabled. Network
devices that connect to SINAPACK 200’s Ethernet interfaces, have IP addresses
that are different from the IP addresses that WIFI AP specifies. So the devices
that connects to SINAPACK 200’s Ethernet interfaces cannot PING devices that
connect to the WIFI AP. WIFI Bridge functionality can solve this problem. After
enabling WIFI Bridge, network devices that connect to SINAPACK 200’s
Ethernet interface can get(or set) IP addresses from WIFI AP, and then they are
in the same LAN with those devices connecting to the same WIFI AP, and they
can PING each other freely.

Note:
1. To enable WIFI Bridge, please disable WAN, and choose WIFI.
2. In case devices need to get IP automatically from WIFI AP, please
disable SINAPACK 200’s DHCP function. Otherwise, SINAPACK 200 will
specify IP to the devices, and they cannot get IP from WIFI AP.

Appendix 4: Use VNC and
SINAPACK 200 to Access and
Control Devices Remotely
VNC is the abbreviation of Virtual Network Console. It is a kind of excellent remote
control software, and it includes two parts: client software (vncviewer) and server
software (vncserver). Vncserver runs on the remote master device, and vncviewer
runs on the local pc (or mobile phone), and vncviewer connects to device that runs
vncserver and displays the desktop remotely. The basic mechanism of VNC is just
like those remote control software that run on windows: first vncviewer establishes
connection with vncserver, and then vncserver displays it’s desktop to vncviewer,
and allows the remote control of its desktop, thus implements remote control of
device.
VNC supports multiple OSs, including Windows, Linux, MAC OS, and Android; and
it is platform independent, i.e. we can use Windows PC running VNC to control
device that runs Linux or MAC OS, or use Android mobile to control touchscreen
that runs Linux.
Customers’ devices, for example, touchscreens, is located on the remote places. It
requires that PC or mobile phone can remote control the touchscreen, with
vncserver running the touchscreen, and vncviewer running on the PC (or mobile).
PC and mobile can access Internet, but cannot access the touchscreen, because
there is no network access in the place of touchscreen, or: although the
touchscreen can access Internet, it does not have public network IP, and PC (or
mobile) still cannot access the touchscreen remotely. SINAPACK 200 and together
with SINAPACK 200 cloud server, offer an effective and convenient solution to
control the far-end touchscreen remotely via PC or mobile. Below are details of the
solution.
SINAPACK 200 User Manual

Figure Appendix 4-1: Use SINAPACK 200 an VNC to remote control touchscreen
1. Install and run vncserver on the touchscreen, and run vncviewer on PC or
mobile, and PC (or mobile) can access Internet;
2. Configure touchscreen IP address: set the IP address to be in the same
IP range as SINAPACK 200’s LAN IP, for example 192.168.10.20. Check
SINAPACK 200’s LAN IP range in its web configuration page, by default
192.168.10.* , as shown in the figure below:

3. Configure agent client on SINAPACK 200
Login SINAPACK 200 web configuration page, choose “Agent Client” , mServer
DN or IP is plc.lianwangbao.com and mServer port is 8080 by default, that is
eTung mServer, normally use the default settings, until customer builds its own
mServer. Then configure device information, including touchscreen’s IP (for
example, 192.168.10.20) and vncserver’s listening port (for example, 5900),
and tick “Enable”, press Save and reboot SINAPACK 200.
Figure Appendix 4-4: Configure agent client
SINAPACK 200 supports multiple vncviewers’ remote access from different PCs
(or mobiles). This can be done by supporting multiple channels on agent client
functionality. Configure multiple lines in agent client configuration, and enable
SINAPACK 200 User Manual
61
all of them. For example, configure two channels as shown in the figure below,
each channel has touchscreen’s IP as device IP, and vncserver’s listening port
as device port. This allows two PCs (or mobile phones) to remote control the
touchscreen at the same time, thus implements device remote control in
different locations. SINAPACK 200support at most 5 channels, and each
channel has a 15-byte channel ID. The channel ID is derived from SINAPACK
200’s IMEI. For example, SINAPACK 200’s IMEI is 240305001234567, then the
agent clients’ channel ID is 2403055X1234567, and X can be 0~4, to represent
one of the five channels.
Figure Appendix 4-5: Configure multi-channel agent client
4. Connect SINAPACK 200 and touchscreen with RJ45 net cable, plug SIM
card in SINAPACK 200, tighten the antenna, and power on SINAPACK
200.
5. Assign TCP port for terminals on SINAPACK 200 server
Open browser on PC, visit SINAPACK 200 server’s web page: plc.SINAPACK
200.com. First register a user and enable it, and then login with username and
password;

SINAPACK 200 User Manual
63
Attention: terminal can be added only when it is online. If it fails to add
terminal, make sure SINAPACK 200 has connected online in SINAPACK 200
server, or ask eTung technical support for help.
After terminal is added, assign TCP port for the terminal: Click the terminal in
terminal list, then click “Terminal Control” -> “Add TCP port”. System prompts:
“Add TCP port command has been submitted successfully!” Then in the
terminal list it can be seen the terminal has been assigned a TCP port, as shown
in the figure below:
Figure Appendix 4-8: Add TCP port
SINAPACK 200 User Manual
64
If multiple channels are configured in SINAPACK 200’s agent client, then add
terminal for each independent channel and assign TCP port for the terminal
accordingly. As shown in the figure below, two terminals and corresponding
TCP ports are added:
Figure Appendix 4-9: Add TCP port for each terminal
6. Use vncviewer on PC or mobile to remote control touchscreen
Run vncviewer in PC or mobile, input server information as LianWangBao
server’s domain plus the TCP port assigned in step 5, as shown in the figure
below:
SINAPACK 200 User Manual
65
Figure Appendix 4-10: Use vncviewer to access LianWangBao server’s TCP port
Click “OK”, then there will be a warning dialog, and then prompts the password
dialog. Input the password to verify, then the remote touchscreen’s desktop
will be shown on PC (or mobile).
Figure Appendix 4-11: Input password
Attention:
SINAPACK 200 User Manual

1) If multiple PCs (or mobile phones) access touchscreen at the same time,
make sure each PC use an independent channel, i.e. in vncviewer’s server
information use different TCP port for different channels, otherwise the
connections will be lost and PCs cannot work correctly.
2) The solution above is just one of device remote access solutions. In fact, to
support PCs’ remote access on touchscreen, Virhub + VNC is another
effective solution. Please refer to Appendix 1 for details on how to use
Virhub.

Enhanced DMZ Function
In case SINAPACK 200 chooses WAN or WIFI network, if some PC in the same
WAN/WIFI network needs to connect to devices under SINAPACK 200, the
enhanced DMZ function can be enabled.
By default, only one host can be specified for DMZ host. The enhanced DMZ allows
multiple hosts.
As shown in the figure below, SINAPACK 200 connects to network via WAN/WIFI,
and gets IP address 192.168.0.*. PLC 1 and PLC 2 connects to SINAPACK 200, with
IP address 192.168.2.100 and 192.168.2.200. One PC in the same WAN network
has IP 192.168.0.196, and the PC needs to connect to PLC 1 and PLC 2.
To implement this, configure two rules in DMZ, as shown in the figure below:
SINAPACK 200 User Manual
75
After configuration, save and reboot SINAPACK 200.
Then, PC in the WAN network can access PLC 1 via IP: 192.168.0.190, and PLC 2
with IP: 192.168.0.191.
