Patton electronics Patton EtherBITS 2232 User manual

E
thernet has far outgrown the confines
of the office network. From factories
and farms to railways and retail
shops, credit bureaus, banks—even medical
and dental offices—anywhere serial devices
are found—the EtherBITS Model 2232 offers
network managers the lowest-cost solution
for making the transition from legacy serial
infrastructure to the age of IP.
The EtherBITS Model 2232 provides both a
serial RS-232 port (male or female/DB-9 or
DB25) and a 10Base-T Ethernet port to link
any RS-232 serial device to the Ethernet LAN
at user-selectable data rates from 1200 bps
to 115.2 kbps.
The Model 2232 encapsulates asynchronous
serial data into IP packets for transport
through the network via TCP or TELNET. The
Model 2232 delivers a transparent end-to-
end connection to your PC or network man-
agement host using any user-defined IP
address and TCP port number. For greater
flexibility, a built-in DHCP client can dynami-
cally obtain an IP address from a master
server anywhere on the network. With the
included COM Port Redirector software you
can use the existing COM/TTY on your PC,
thus avoiding the hassle and expense obtain-
ing an additional software license.
Connect serial devices and terminals to
Ethernet quickly and easily with Patton’s
low-cost EtherBITS Model 2232 Single-Port
Terminal Server. The Patton EtherBITS Model
2232 lets you leverage the power and flexi-
bility of Ethernet for low-cost, hassle-free
device networking.

Low-cost single-port device server lets you monitor, control, and collect data from any async RS-232 device over
any IP network.

✔✔The Model 2232 Single-Port Device Server is
used to connect various RS-232 serial devices to
the local area network through their serial control
ports. The 2232 enables monitoring, control, and
data collection from this equipment by remote
computers located anywhere on the local or wide
area network.
COM Port redirector is provided for users who
choose to use their existing serial communication
application programs. Using the redirector soft-
ware provided on the Patton Model 2232 allows
existing COM/TTY-based software to be preserved,
thus no additional investment is required on addi-
tional software.
✔✔The Patton Model 2232 can be used for serial data
tunneling when used in pairs. When operating in
pairs, the 2232s will simulate a direct serial link
between two serial devices over an Ethernet con-
nection. Using IP allows the user to extend serial
connections from across the building to across
the world using the World Wide Web.
