Streamline RS-232 connectivity for serial device management over IP with this PoE powered serial device serverThis PoE serial-to-IP converter is an efficient solution for remotely connecting and controlling a variety of RS232 serial devices over an IP-based network. Compliant with the 802.3af PoE standard, the RJ45 LAN to DB9 adapter facilitates a seamless integration of data and power supply to the unit through a single Cat5/5e/6/6a copper cableConfiguration and ManagementThe serial over LAN adapter is highly customizable to support various applications. It can be used to remotely control an RS232 device directly. Alternatively, two serial over LAN adapters can be connected to each other on the same network and create a full end-to-end RS232 serial connection. The Windows-based companion software, Device Server Manager (DSM), enables the creation of virtual COM ports, allowing seamless migration of existing serial applications to the new virtual COM ports. The DSM provides a unified management experience, allowing multiple serial-to-Ethernet converters to be managed simultaneously. The converter also features a versatile web-based interface for remote management, making it compatible in mixed OS environments.PoE and Ethernet optionsChoose between dual power options, M-size barrel connector and Power over Ethernet (PoE), that provide maximum installation flexibility for a variety of scenarios. The TAA-compliant IP-to-serial converter features a single RJ45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and supports Telnet Server (RFC2217), TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP protocols for versatile network connectivity. Supports Level-4 ESD protection (15kV air/8kV contact) and can supply 5VDC over pin 9 if required.Flexible Installation and Rugged ChassisThe converter is housed in a full metal enclosure for durability in harsh environments. The DB9 over IP converter includes all necessary wall and DIN rail mounting hardware. Multiple mounting holes along the chassis allow it to be installed in the most useful orientation for any application. The compact design of 1.8x1x3.2in (46.1x 25x 81.9mm) is ideal for environments where space is at a premium.The StarTech.com Advantage
