The VSCOM series of Ethernet serial device server provides an easy way to enable RS-232,422 and 485 serial devices to be an Ethernet LAN/WAN ready. The simply and friendly VS COM-PORT Windows driver installs virtual COM ports from the Device Manager of the operating system and the virtual COM port is designed to establish a connection between the VSCOM and Serial devices that allows communication in the same manner as a device connected to the COM port on the PC. Can control 2 x RS232 devices located virtually anywhere (via Ethernet or Internet) Lan interface10BaseT/100BaseTx Ethernet Driver automaticly finds NetCom devices in the network Configuration over Driver Panels, serial Port, Telnet, WEB Browser, SNMP Automatic mode switching between Driver and Raw Mode Support TCP/IP, UDP, Telnet, DHCP, ICMP, HTTP, SNMP V1/2c/3, DNS Overview VS NetCom 211 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server for connecting two RS232 devices like CNC, PLC, weighting scale, scanner and other devices directly to the 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP. In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial device via adding NetCom devices to the existing serial port. NetCom 211 can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation. Applications Industrial / Factory / Laboratory automation SCADA system Automatic warehouse control system Building automation system Wafer fabrication system Self-service banking system Retail system Other remote and distributed serial devices control Specification Hardware Processor: ARM 7 TDMI 50MHz I/O controller: 16C550C or compatible Memory: 8MB SDRAM, 1 MB Flash Connector type: RJ45 for LAN, 2 x RJ45 -8pin for serial Port Interface LAN interface: Auto-detecting 10BaseT/100BaseTx Protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, Telnet, DHCP, ICMP, HTTP, SNMP V1/2c/3, DNS Serial interface: 2 x RS232 No. of port: 2, Speed up to 460Kbps Available Modes: RS232 full duplex Signals: RS232: TxD, RxD, RTS/CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI, GND RS422/485: only RS232 Performance Speed: up to 460Kbps Parity: None, even, odd, space, mark Data bits: 5, 6, 7, 8 Stop bits: 1, 1.5, 2 IRQ: None I/O address: None Operating Modes: Driver mode: VScom Driver for Win XP, Win2000 Creates virtual Com port TCP Raw Server: Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Waits for incoming connections. TCP Raw Client: Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Connects to a host or device waiting for incoming connections TCP Advanced Settings: Special settings for user-defined modes UDP Mode: Raw data transfer UDP. The NetCom is client and server at the same time. With the timeout functionality and a configurable trigger string it can make defined UDP packets of incoming data. Null Modem Tunnel: Connecting two NetCom used as virtual null modem cable Power and Environment Power requirements: 9 - 30V DC, 250mA, 12V 200mA Power supply Adapter: 9V, 500mA Dimension: 73×115×27 mm³ (W×L×H) 101×121×27 mm³ with connectors Special Features: Installation: Configuration utility automaticly finds NetCom devices in the network Operating mode: Automatic mode switching between Driver and TCP RAW mode. With TCP Advanced settings it is possible to configure the NetCom for using it in multiple modes, so it decides automaticly which mode should be used. Configuration: Configuration over Driver Panels, NetCom Manager, WEB Browser, serial console, Telnet, SNMP SNMP: special VScom MIB included ART: no DNS: Domain Name Server support Serial interface: Serial Interface configurable with external switch Firewall: Special precautions for Firewall environments Firmware: Firmware update over WEB Browser, Telnet, ComPort LEDs: LEDs for Power, Tx, Rx, LAN Link, LAN Speed Security: Password access: Every capabilities of configuration use the same password including SNMP V3 Ordering Information Product Name: VS NetCom 211 Packing list: VS NetCom 211 Power supply adapter 9V, 500mA CD-ROM with Driver and configuration software 2 x RJ45 8-pin to DSUB 9 male RS232 cable 1m Printed Quick Installation Guide
