10/100 Terminal Servers.
With these compact devices, you can provide basic device server
functionality, linking to time clocks, sensors, scanners, plotters, and other
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial equipment in your office or industrial
application.
To allow serial devices to communicate with your LAN, just attach the
terminal servers to your TCP/IP networks. You can also connect them to
terminals for multi-user UNIX systems, terminal emulation PCs, modems,
and all types of serial printers.
The software-selectable EIA-232/422/485 DB9, DB25, or RJ-45 port
on the servers features full modem and hardware flow control and
speeds up to 230 kbps.
For network-side links, the servers’ RJ-45 port adapts to either
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet connectivity and half- or full duplex mode,
making them easy to use in legacy environments. You can also control
how the data coming from a serial device is packetized before forwarding
the packet onto the LAN network.
What’s more, the servers come with a COM port redirector utility
that allows applications to talk to serial devices across a network just as if
the serial devices were directly attached to the server. The utility enables
you to map the baud rate of the host COM port to a higher baud rate for
the serial line connecting the serial device and one of the 10/100
Terminal Servers.
The terminal servers also support serial data tunneling be tween
devices across an IP network, and because they’re fully next-generation
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) compliant, they can be used in
networks that have been upgraded to IPv6 in order to gain a lot larger
IP address space and establish more robust IPsec security. The terminal
servers can also be set up to automatically obtain an IP address from
a local network running a DHCP/BOOTP server.
To prevent unauthorized network access, the terminal servers have
a comprehensive suite of security features, including trusted host filtering
and the ability to disable individual services.
You can configure the terminal servers multiple ways, including via
direct connections to the serial port or via its easy-configuration wizard.
But to enable fully functional Windows
®
based terminal server
management, use the included Device Management software. It enables
you to assign IP addresses to the 10/100 Terminal Servers, perform
firmware updates, create downloadable configuration files, view
statistics, and more.
The 10/100 Terminal Servers also include a browser-based
configuration/management tool and a window-oriented menu interface,
as well as a CLI-based management option. In addition, the servers
support SNMP for integration into managed net works. Using SNMP,
you can remotely configure the servers and gather statistics.
10/100 Terminal Servers
To minimize the number of modem connections on your network,
take advantage of the terminal servers’ virtual modem feature. It provides
“modem-like” communication between two 10/100 Terminal Servers on
a network or between a terminal server and a host. Virtual modem links
are very useful when you want to link multiple devices with a central site,
and with a single 10/100 Terminal Server at each end, there’s no need for
multiple modems—thereby saving you the associated costs of calls and
connections. Data is sent in raw format from the virtual modem and can
be received by another 10/100 Terminal Server or a host.
The compact terminal servers are housed in a solid steel enclosure
and boast ESD protection against electrostatic dis charge and power
surges. Plus, for industrial applications, they’re DIN-rail mountable with
the optional DIN Rail Mounting Kit (page 9).
