Serial to Ethernet server for data transparent transmission Key benefits Enables transparent serial data transmission over Ethernet, simplifying integration between serial devices and networked systems. Reduces setup time with automatic IP assignment via DHCP, avoiding manual network configuration. Allows remote IP visibility and management through a serial setting protocol, plus DNS resolution for network hosts. Web page based parameter configuration provides straightforward setup and ongoing adjustments without direct device access. Network based firmware upgrades simplify maintenance and updates. Supports a user defined registration packet mechanism to monitor connection status and to use as a custom packet header, adding flexibility for specialized communications. What it does Serial to Ethernet bridging: transmits serial data over a TCP/IP network with minimal processing to preserve data integrity. Device networking compatibility: suitable for integrating serial devices into standard Ethernet networks and M2M communications. IP management: DHCP client automatically obtains an IP address and enables IP queries via serial settings. Name resolution: DNS function enables hostname to IP resolution for network communications. Easy configuration: parameters are adjustable through a web interface for convenient setup and management. Remote maintenance: firmware can be upgraded over the network to keep devices up to date. Custom packet support: user defined registration mechanism allows checking connection status and using a custom packet header for specialized workflows. Attributes that matter Function: serial to Ethernet server with transparent data transmission and network management features. Compatibility: works with standard serial interfaces and Ethernet networks for device networking. Performance: designed for reliable data forwarding and efficient network access with web based control and remote updates. Form factor: compact design intended for easy integration into equipment and systems. Maintainability: network based firmware upgrades enable ongoing improvements and security updates. Use scenarios Industrial automation and control: connect PLCs or other serial controllers to an Ethernet network for centralized monitoring and control, while maintaining transparent data flow. Point of and peripheral networking: bridge serial peripherals such as receipt printers or barcode scanners to a wired or wireless network for centralized management and data collection. Remote sensing and monitoring: integrate serial sensors or meters into a networked monitoring system, enabling IP based data access, DNS name resolution, and remote firmware management.
