Detailed Product Description

The serial device networking (TCP/IP) has become a trend of industrialon-site networking. However, the on-site wiring construction andalternation cost have always been a bottle neck of serial devicenetworking. With the growingly mature WLAN technology and falling costof related hardware, the advantage of serial device networking hasbecome quite obvious, which makes serial device wireless networking amust. 

     AN-WF-RS-232/422/485 wirelessserial port server offers wireless transceiver and high speed serialport, conforming to IEEE802.11b wireless network communicationstandard. The maximum standard transmission distance is 300M andfurther wireless communication can be achieved by additional high gainexternal antenna, which can not only prevent difficult wiring but alsolower construction cost, specially suitable for devices like industrialenvironment and factory automation system, on-site monitoring system,etc.

The RS232 connection application has beenused for a long time. RS232 cable has limitations in distance. WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has become a worldwide standard protocolfor wireless applications. There are many applications for using RS232connection over WLAN, including POS, data capture, telemetry, PLCcontrollers, remote control, vending machine, industrial control, andothers. The device that supports connection over WLAN is called asWireless to Serial Server.

To make your management task easier, the AN-WF-RS-232/422/485 providesadditional features, such as password authentication, IP filter, WEPsupport for 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, and SNMP support.
