ICS-120
1
Cost-effective Solution for RS232/422/485 Serial-to-Ethernet Application
PLANET ICS-120 Serial Device Server is specially designed to convert two serial
RS232/RS422/RS485 communication interfaces into Fast Ethernet networking to
extend the network distance efciently and inexpensively.
Serial Interface
• Two DB9 interfaces that support RS232, 2-wire RS485,
4-wire RS485 and RS422 operation
• Asynchronous serial data rates up to 921600bps
• Data mode includes VCOM, RFC2217, TCP server, TCP
client, UDP, remote pairing, Modbus converter server /
client and serial telnet modes
Ethernet Interface
• 1-port 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 with auto MDI/MDI-X function
Management
• IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack management
• Remote Management Interfaces
– IP-based Web management
– Telnet console management
– Windows-based VCOM utility supports searching,
monitoring and conguration setting

2-Port RS232/RS422/RS485 Serial Device Server
There is one 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 port in the ICS-120, making connected serial
equipment become IP-based, and able to also connect to a TCP/IP networking
immediately. And its operating temperature ranging from -10 to 60 degrees C is
designed for all your network requirements.
The ICS-120 is a time-saving and cost-effective solution for users and system
integrators to quickly transform their serial devices into the Ethernet network with
no need of replacing the existing serial devices and software system.
