PH232Ex4
#4 RS-232 Serial Over Ethernet Terminal Server/Client









Introduction
IP Electronix PH232Ex4 bidirectional communication terminal server/client is a simple solution for connecting serial devices to a network which results in having 4 RS-232 serial ports over Ethernet network. This converter uses transparent communicate protocol, so it is not required to understand complex Ethernet TCP/IP protocol, and no modification in serial programs is needed. It operates as a Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server and UDP Client Full-Duplex converter and supports bidirectional connection.
PH232Ex4 is designed for industrial usage and is useful for connecting any device with a serial interface to a computer via Ethernet supported network like LAN, WAN … and can be used in Industrial Automation, Telecommunications, SCADA Systems, DCS Systems ….
Protection against Surge, ESD and EMI is implemented in its design and it has 3kV insulation between Ethernet and RS-232 sides. Furthermore, all the RS-232 ports are insulated from each other too.
