ELK-IP232

The ELK-IP232 is an Ethernet to RS-232 Serial Port Bridge.
It may be used to connect any standard serial
communications device such as a PC, an audio/video
distribution system, or an Elk-M1 Control, to an Ethernet
network. It allows bi-directional communication between the
two. It operates as a network server, which means it
not initiate network connections, but rather, accepts them.

networked device or computer is virtually connected to the

serial device on the other side of the Bridge.
network device and the serial device can send and receive

devices may be connected simultaneously. Data sent from
any one of them is bridged to the serial
on the serial side is transmitted to all connected network
devices.
