Overview
|
A3000
is an industrial-strength network-based serial
device server for connecting one RS232/422/485 device like
CNC, PLC, weighting scale, scanner and other devices
directly to the 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP.
In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any
host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can
also access remote serial device via adding A3000 devices
to the existing serial port. The A3000 can be configured
over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP
and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform
and distance limitation.

|
UDP
Mode
|
Raw
data transfer by UDP. The A3000 is client and server at the
same time. With the timeout functionality and a configurable
trigger string it can make defined UDP packets of incoming
data. |
|

|
The
serial port emulates a standard modem. Operates by
