Feature’s Overview
- ARF45-PRO is a device that adds secure wireless 802.11 b/g (Wi-Fi)
networking capability to any device with a serial interface. Basically
the ARF45-PRO can be seen as a RS232/WIFI gateway.
- The ARF45-PRO enables remote access to a serial port over a
wireless network. The data from the serial link is encapsulated into
TCP or UDP packets which can travel through any IP based
wireless network.
By the same token, the ARF45-PRO converts TCP or UDP packets
from any IP based wireless network onto serial data.
- From a functional point of view, the major difference between the
ARF42/45 and the ARF45-PRO is the addition of the WPA2/802.11i
enterprise-grade security and authentication protocols (based on
the EAP/802.1X framework).
- The ARF45-PRO’s integrated web server transforms a standalone
device into a networked product that can be managed remotely via
a standard web browser.
- The ARF45-PRO operates as a WI-FI station and can thus be part
of an Infrastructure network (communication with other WI-FI
station through an Access Point) or an Ad-hoc network (direct Point
to Point communication with another WI-FI station).
