Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server Technology. The
MultiConnect SE device server provides the powerful ability
to IP-enable serial devices allowing more options for data
acquisition, device management, and industrial control
than would otherwise be available. It includes a processor,
operating system, TCP/IP stack, Web server and a network
connection to provide a complete serial-to-Ethernet bridge.
Using the embedded Internet protocols and a connection to
an IP network, it encapsulates the serial data into packets
and sends and receives it over your Internet or Intranet
connection.
Reduces Development Time. The MultiConnect SE device
server can make your existing and next generation serial
device IP-ready without requiring hardware changes to its
design. It actually provides faster time-to-market because it
relieves the burden and expense of writing and maintaining
Internet applications. The complete, ready-to-integrate
device server allows you to enhance your product while you
focus on developing its core features.
