Silex E1308 RS-232C serial server

LAN (10/100 Mbits), RS-232C, TCP/IP, 2.25W, 290 g The Silex SD-300 and SD-310AN are designed to easily connect and share RS-232 serial devices over a wired or wireless network. Industrial automation, building automation, medical devices, security access and control, point of sale devices, LED signs, bar code/label and other specialty printers, or virtually any other device with a serial port can be now be enabled with secure, robust wired or wireless network capability. It allows flexibility to place the device anywhere on the network instead of needing to be attached directly to the computer, and multiple computers or terminals can access the serial device.

<b>Key Features and Benefits:</b>
- Industry-leading security including WPA, WPA2, and WEP, plus 802.1x authentication with the most commonly used EAP types
- Dual band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n support on the SD-310AN allows communication in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Radio interference in the commonly used 2.4 GHz band can be avoided by utilizing 5 GHz.
- Virtually any client device can remotely control and monitor your serial devices including computers (Windows, Mac, Linux), mobile devices (Android, iOS), and virtual servers (VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Terminal Server and Hyper-V).
- No special drivers or applications are needed to use the serial devices: Drivers and applications that worked when the serial device is directly connected to the computer will continue to work across the network connected to the SD-300/SD-310AN.
- SD-310AN provides optimized roaming based on a signal strength algorithm between wireless access points ensuring maximum uptime for the connection.

<b>Multiple serial port and wireless modes for maximum flexibility for any environment:
Serial Port Modes</b>
- Serial Port Emulation Mode:
The included Silex SX-Virtual Link software precisely emulates a serial port (or COM port) connection on a computer operating system, and then redirects the packets over the network to the serial port of the SD-300/SD-310AN.

- Raw TCP Connection Mode:
This mode makes it possible to directly communicate with a serial device via TCP application program using a TCP socket API.

<b>Tested for Maximum Compatibility</b>
SILEX wireless serial servers have been tested extensively to support the security methods used in leading access points and radius servers.

<b>Applications</b>
- Typical end user applications include:
- Industrial automation
- Home automation
- Building automation
- Medical devices
- Security access and control
- Point of Sale
- LED signs
- Any other M2M or SCADA application utilizing serial connectivity
- Serial printers, barcode-, lable printers
- Virtually any other products with a serial port
