Communicate easily with two RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial devices via your LAN or WAN with the rugged & compact 2-Port Hardened Serial Server from Black Box.
It's just what you need to improve productivity & cut down on the amount of time required to configure or troubleshoot serial devices located on a factory floor or in a remote location.
Eliminate visits to a distant site just to make a minor change to a configuration. You can do all this from the comfort of your office using an Ethernet LAN or WAN connection, or even from home via a standard Web connection.
A simple-to-install, user-friendly Web configuration software application enables programming through a browser connection. No time-consuming setup is required.
Set it up to operate in one of three modes:
- In Direct IP Mode, you use TCP/IP or UDP/IP to communicate directly with the serial devices.
- In Virtual COM Mode, you can communicate with the devices via your network just as if they were connected to physical COM ports.
- In Paired Mode, multiple serial devices can communicate with one another using network tunneling.
- The 2-Port Hardened Serial Server has two standard DB9 serial ports for the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 device connections, & an autodetecting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port for a CAT5 connection to your Ethernet network.
Plus, for reliable operation, the serial server offers a heartbeat connection, which detects any TCP communication failures & sends out signals every five seconds until the system is reconnected.
