User-selectable serial RS-485/422/232
with async data rates up to 280 kbps
U
se Patton’s Model 2285 universal
single-port device server to control,
access, inter-connect, and manage
RS-485/422/232 devices from any remote
location as if you were there. Patton’s device
servers provide a new level of efficiency and
affordability to a variety of application envi-
ronments including industrial automation,
health care, security, transportation, retail,
and many others.
With built-in DHCP the Model 2285 automat-
ically obtains an IP address and a subnet
mask from the master server. With the IP
address identified and the serial port
attached, the Model 2285 can pass tranpar-
ently pass data end-to-end using Telnet over
TCP. Users can access management features
over telnet, serial console, or the web.
Security features include static key based
RC4 data encryption, SSL to provide a
secure connection between client and server,
HTTPS for secure data transfer over the net-
work, and IP filter, which limits and controls
access to the serial device. COM Port
Redirector is included with Patton’s 2285
enabling users to use their existing
COM/TTY-based software, preventing the
hassle and expense of investing in additional
software.
The Patton Model 2285 provides physical-
layer connectivity by a user selectable RS-
485/422/232 serial port and 10/100Base-TX
Ethernet port. Configure the serial port’s data
rate, ranging from 75 bps to 230 kbps, and
choose from a variety of connector types
including DB9 or DB25 male or female.
Easily and cost effectively bring serial
devices onto one global or local area net-
work!

✔✔The Patton Model 2285 connects various
RS-485/422/232 serial devices to a central loca-
tion over an Ethernet Local Area Network. The
device server enables monitoring, controlling,
management, and data collection.
✔✔The Model 2285 enhances COM Port
Redirection with the addition of encryption.
Secure connections between the 2285 and the
controller’s COM port are implemented with the
Serial/IP COM port redirector or OpenSSL
Toolkit with an SSL security option.
✔✔The Model 2285 performs Serial Data Tunneling
when used in pairs. The 2285’s will simulate a
direct serial link between two serial devices over
an Ethernet connection. Using IP allows the user
to extend serial connections across the building or
across the world.
