Serial to LAN Embedded Module White Paper Overview In the field of device networking, serial to LAN embedded modules have been playing a huge role in providing network connectivity for serial devices. A serial to Lan embedded module connects individual serial device to the network, working as a serial to LAN converter.
Serial to LAN Embedded Module White Paper Serial to LAN Embedded Module Nowadays, vast majority of electronic devices require data transfer over the network. They send, receive, and share data with embedded network interface. In order to implement network interface inside these devices, designers had to build the feature from scratch. This often led to delay in timeto-market, and engineers occasionally fell into trouble with hardware and software design issues.
Serial to LAN Embedded Module White Paper Eddy™ Eddy is a programmable serial to LAN embedded module that users can easily modify to their own requirements. Eddy has been designed to maximize user’s integration and customization needs. Can Upload & Execute your own programmed applications. Eddy is distinguished with other serial to LAN embedded module in that it can upload and execute customized user applications.
Serial to LAN Embedded Module White Paper Device Connectivity Management As a qualified serial to LAN embedded module, Eddy receives RS232 or RS422/485 signals from connected devices and transmits them to the network, and vice versa. Maximum serial communication speed can reach up to 921.6Kbps, providing a fast and a stable data transmission. Various network protocols are supported, including TCP, UDP, Telnet, ICMP, DHCP, TFTP, HTTP, and PPP providing wider communication flexibility.

Serial to LAN Embedded Module White Paper COM Port Redirector COM Port Redirector is an automatic serial /LAN conversion driver program. COM Port Redirector enables a user to use Eddy’s serial port that is connected through network as if they were COM ports in the user’s PC. All previous serial communication programs can be used without any modification, like a socket conversion program. COM Port Redirector displays a very high performance and expansion compared to other conversion software.
