Patton electronics EtherBITS 2211 User manual

E
thernet continues to be the predomi-
nant office networking infrastructure.
Now, Ethernet has made its way from
the office to the shop floor. Traditional serial
environments require the use of multi-port
serial cards, expensive cables, and the per-
sonnel to manage multiple systems. Patton’s
Model 2211 Single-Port Device Server pro-
vides a quick, inexpensive, and hassle-free
solution for connecting legacy serial termi-
nals and devices to a local area network
(LAN).
The Model 2211 links legacy serial RS-232
devices to the network by encapsulating
serial data into IP packets for transport over
the wireless LAN. Using TCP or TELNET, the
Model 2211 can connect to any user-defined
IP address and port. Once connected to the
remote host, data is passed transparently
end-to-end. The built-in DHCP Client allows
the Model 2211 to dynamically obtain an IP
address and a subnet mask from a master
server. COM Port Redirector is included with
Patton’s 2211 enabling companies to use
their existing COM/TTY-based software, pre-
venting the hassle and expense of investing
in additional software.
Physical layer-connectivity is provided via an
RS-232 serial port and a 10BaseT Ethernet
port. Configure the serial port’s data rate,
ranging from 1200bps to 115.2 kbps, and
choose from a variety of connector types
including DB9 or DB25 male or female.
Patton’s Model 2211 offers the lowest transi-
tion cost in turning your serial infrastructure
to IP.

Infrastructure Mode
The Model 2211 Single-Port Device Server is used to
connect various RS-232 serial devices to the Local Area
Network through their serial control ports. The 2211
enables monitoring, control, and data collection from
this equipment by remote computers located anywhere
on the local or wide area network. Both Ad hoc and
Infrastructure mode is supported on the 2211.
COM Port redirector is provided for users who choose to
use their existing serial communication application pro-
grams. Utilizing the COM Port redirector software pro-
vided on the Patton Model 2211 allows existing
COM/TTY-based software to be preserved, thus no addi-
tional investment is required on additional software.
