8-Port RS232 to IP Device Server

The STE800A-232 is 8-port RS232 to IP Device Servers that enable the ability to control asynchronous RS-232 (3 or 5 wire) devices located virtually anywhere over a TCP/IP connection. The STE800A-232 has 8 DB9 serial ports and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection on the same side. It connects serial devices such as PLC, alarm sensors and PTZ camera control to IP networks. Applications include industrial/factory automation, public safety and surveillance systems. The STE800A-232 Windows® driver is designed to control the IP Serial Server. The driver installs a virtual COM on Windows® which maps a COM port to the IP address of the IP Serial Server across the network, enabling the Windows® applications to access remote serial devices over Ethernet. IP Device Server can function as a server or client for TCP connection that provides a Serial over Ethernet solution. The application scenarios for the STE800A-232 is direct IP mode, virtual COM mode, or paired mode.
