Description
Extend serial connections across any distance, including the internet, or access and control serial ports across a network as easily as if they were inside the PC right beside you. By assigning TCP port and IP addresses to serial ports, the ACCES eNET-232-1 unit makes it possible for a single PC to control many serial devices, or for many PCs to control a single serial device.
Ideal for POS systems, security systems, industrial automation, building automation, or any application using RS-232 devices, the unit provides a serial port that is network-enabled and simple to install, configure, and control. Any serial device can send its information to an Ether-Serial Link, which then places that information on the Ethernet.
The serial port of the unit looks and acts precisely like it is built into your computer: it appears right alongside other serial ports in Windows' Device Manager.
Simple Installation
The software behind the eNET-232-1 makes installation effortless. The eNET Manager makes the serial ports appear as native COM ports, which enables a variety of operating systems and applications on the PC to perceive those ports as internal, regardless of their actual distance. This makes it possible to find, connect and configure an eNET-232-1 device anywhere on a network segment in minutes.
Configuration Flexibility
Changing the serial port settings or uploading new firmware is possible through a browser-based interface, Telnet interface or the ACCES eNET Manager.
Reliable DHCP Connectivity
This device does not lose connection wth the client PC when the IP address of its remote port is changed (typically by reassignment by a DHCP server). The sophisticated port binding technology can also associate a remote serial port with a MAC address or a user-specified name. Reliable connections are maintained between client stations and the eNET's remote ports, eliminating the need to manually update IP addresses for remote devices no matter where they are located.
