Description

DESCRIPTION

The EtherPathX4 is a four port serial server for Ethernet LAN’s. The EtherPathX4 connects any async serial device through a LAN and between LAN’s via routers. The EtherPathX4 will also connect other serial devices, such as remote data collection terminals, SCADA RTU/Host systems, UPS’s, bar code scanners, alarms, access control, timeclocks, climate control devices, and serial management ports directly to an Ethernet network.

The EtherPathX4 supports TCP/IP protocol, allowing the necessary data connection across networks as well as connections between hosts on a network and the device attached to the EtherPathX4 server.

The EtherPathX4 supports serial interface speeds up to 230 Kbps. The EtherPathX4 can automatically open connections when it powers up, eliminating the need for a manual request. Modem controls (RTS/CTS) and Xon/Xoff are also supported. If the connection is lost, the EtherPathX4 will automatically reconnect when the LAN path is again available.

The EtherPathX4 can be managed directly through the server’s physical port as well as remotely from other network locations. Remote configuration is supported using a web browser, telnet connection, or direct connection. SNMP monitoring is supported.

You can telnet to the EtherPathX4, making the EtherPathX4 a remote serial port for a PC or a workstation. This makes the EtherPathX4 an ideal remote access device for controlling remote devices with serial control ports.

Application Notes

These applications notes illustrate real-world applications of the EtherPath and help you apply the unit to solve your data communication problem.
Port Redirection and the EtherPath
“Using the EtherPath with Unix and PC Port Redirection” is an article that discusses the options available when using port redirection software and custom-written software to access remote serial ports with the EtherPath serial device server. Sources of sample programs and free port redirector software are provided.Read the article!
Embedded Server Technology to Connect RS232 Devices
“Globally Serial: Extending the Reach of your Serial Devices Around the World” is an article that recently apeared in information technology trade journals. This article discusses the use of DCB’s EtherPath external device servers and how they are used to connect RS-232 serial devices using a wide area ethernet network. Read the article!
