Patton 2232 User Manual

E

thernet has far outgrown the confines

of the office network. From factories

and farms to railways and retail

shops, credit bureaus, banks—even medical

and dental offices—anywhere serial devices

are found—the EtherBITS Model 2232 offers

network managers the lowest-cost solution

for making the transition from legacy serial

infrastructure to the age of IP.

The EtherBITS Model 2232 provides both a

serial RS-232 port (male or female/DB-9 or

DB25) and a 10Base-T Ethernet port to link

any RS-232 serial device to the Ethernet LAN

at user-selectable data rates from 1200 bps

to 115.2 kbps.

The Model 2232 encapsulates asynchronous

serial data into IP packets for transport

through the network via TCP or TELNET. The

Model 2232 delivers a transparent end-to-

end connection to your PC or network man-

agement host using any user-defined IP

address and TCP port number. For greater

flexibility, a built-in DHCP client can dynami-

cally obtain an IP address from a master

server anywhere on the network. With the

included COM Port Redirector software you

can use the existing COM/TTY on your PC,

thus avoiding the hassle and expense obtain-

ing an additional software license.

Connect serial devices and terminals to

Ethernet quickly and easily with Patton’s

low-cost EtherBITS Model 2232 Single-Port

Terminal Server. The Patton EtherBITS Model

2232 lets you leverage the power and flexi-

bility of Ethernet for low-cost, hassle-free

device networking.

Low-cost single-port device server lets you monitor, control, and collect data from any async RS-232 device over
any IP network.

✔✔

The Model 2232 Single-Port Device Server is

used to connect various RS-232 serial devices to

the local area network through their serial control

ports. The 2232 enables monitoring, control, and

data collection from this equipment by remote

computers located anywhere on the local or wide

area network.

COM Port redirector is provided for users who

choose to use their existing serial communication

application programs. Using the redirector soft-

ware provided on the Patton Model 2232 allows

existing COM/TTY-based software to be preserved,

thus no additional investment is required on addi-

tional software.

✔✔

The Patton Model 2232 can be used for serial data

tunneling when used in pairs. When operating in

pairs, the 2232s will simulate a direct serial link

between two serial devices over an Ethernet con-

nection. Using IP allows the user to extend serial

connections from across the building to across

the world using the World Wide Web.
