Wireless Serial Device Servers

Micon Automation Systems offers ATC-2000WF Series of Wireless Serial Device Servers as an easy way to connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices to a WLAN. The 1-port ATC-2000WF and 2-port ATC-2002WF are ideal for environments where a LAN is not available, or where serial devices are moved frequently. The RS232 connection application has been used for a long time. RS232 cable has limitations in distance. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) has become a worldwide standard protocol for wireless applications. There are many applications for using RS232 connection over WLAN, including POS, data capture, telemetry, PLC controllers, remote control, vending machine, industrial control, and others. The device that supports connection over WLAN is called wireless to serial server. ATC-2000WF wireless serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and manual configuration via a handy web browser console. Both IP configuration methods ensure quick and effective installation. An external antenna increases the range of the wireless connection. Users can position the adjustable antenna for maximum signal strength or even replace the antenna with their own for additional flexibility and scalability. This feature is particularly useful when a serial device is connected in a high interference area. As an added feature, a signal strength indicator is located on the front panel to make it easier to troubleshoot connection problems. ATC-2000WF wireless serial device servers ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API by providing TCP server mode, TCP client mode, and UDP mode. The real COM/TTY drivers allow software that works with COM/TTY ports to be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no time. This excellent feature preserves software investment and lets users enjoy the benefits of networking your serial devices instantly. Additional features include password authentication, IP filter, WEP support for 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, and SNMP support.
