PES1A and PESV1A Mini PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ethernet to RS-
232 Converters provide simple and cost-effective solutions for connecting 
RS-232 devices to Ethernet networks. PES1A and PESV1A converters make 
it easy to connect serial printers, copiers, building automation, retail, point of 
sale,  warehousing  and  banking  equipment  directly  into  Ethernet  networks. 
Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation and the PESV1A 
provides a switch selectable voltage output to power external devices. 
PES1A  and  PESV1A  converters  support  virtual  COM  port,  console 
management,  TCP  and  UDP  socket,  serial  bridge,  terminal,  modem 
emulation and custom connections. Network addresses can  be obtained 
dynamically or manually. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is 
supported.  Configuration  is  accomplished  through  a  web-based  user 
interface.
