Overview
The BSC6000 series wireless device servers lets you connect RS-232 (BSC6121),
RS-422/485(BSC6122) or RS-232/422/485 (BSC6123) serial devices (such as
energy meter, card reader, PLC, CNC) to IP-based Wireless and Wired Ethernet
networks quickly and easily. You can access your serial device at any place over
network with BSC6000 series devices. Highly compatible with user’s existing
web application program, BSC6000 series devices also provides TCP Server, TCP
Client, UDP, Virtual Com and some other operation modes. Under the Virtual
Com mode, users can manage their serial port devices on the network with their
current serial port monitoring software perfectly.
NOTE: ‘i’ on the end of device model indicates an isolated model.
