1 About This Guide

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for selecting the RS-232/422/485 to 10/100Base-TX Device Server /

Managed Media Converter. This unit is designed to provide an RS-232/422/485

connection over twisted-pair cable where the connected devices have RS-232/422/485

interfaces. Enabling serial devices such as CNCs and PLCs to instantly connect to an

existing Ethernet/ Fast Ethernet network, the Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server /

Managed Media Converter represents a robust solution for devices controllers for MIS

personnel. This product can either be used as Device Server or Managed Media

Converter.
