It's just what you need to improve productivity and cut down on the amount of time required to configure or troubleshoot a serial device 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.

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 device. In Virtual COM Mode you can communicate with the device via your network just as if the device was connected to a physical COM port. In Paired Mode mUL(r)tiple serial devices can communicate with one another using network tunneling (more than one 1-Port Hardened Serial Server is required). The Hardened Serial Server has a standard DB9 serial port and a removable terminal block for the RS-232 RS-422 or RS-485 device connection and 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 and sends out signals every five seconds until the system is reconnected.
