1. Summary
ZLAN5102-3 is a high performance serial server device. It converts
RS232/485/422 protocol to TCP/IP protocol. It can conveniently let your legend
serial device connect to Ethernet and Internet, and upgrade the serial device with
networking.
The RS232/RS485/RS422 port of ZLAN5102-3 supports
Full-duplex/Half-duplex, uninterrupted communication. It embedded with lightning
protection circuits. It supports DHCP, DNS. It supports virtual serial driver, and
user’s previous PC software using serial communication need not change.

It can be applied to:
building/e-guard system/security system;
bank/medical automation system;
dealing in securities system;

industry automation system;
Point of Sells (POS) system;
Information Appliance.
The typical application is slowed in Figure 2. The serial device is connected to
ZLAN5102-3 serial port, and then connects ZLAN5102-3 to Ethernet.

1.1. Feature
1. Support full duplex, high speed converting, and no packet lost.
ZLAN5102-3 is the first type of full duplex, continuous, and low cost serial
server in industry. It support simultaneously converting between Ethernet &Serial

with large bulk of data with no pause, and also no data is lost.
2. Hight cost performance.
ZLAN5102-3 is designed by concept of intensification, after ensure the stability.
It highly takes the cost of networking upgrading in count
3. Support TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP mode, and if communicating with
ZLVirCom (our software), it automatically change to Real Com Driver Mode.
4. Support band rate 1200~460800bps, data size 5~8bits, parity of None, Odd, Even,
Mark, Space. Support CTS/RTS hardware flow control.
5. Equipped freely with our Windows Virtual Serial & Device Management Tool
ZLVirCom. It supports virtual serial and searching device or modifying
parameters with ZLVircom.
6. Provide device management library (Window DLL library). It will help user to
develop program with VC, VB, Delphi, C++ Builder. User need only use read()
or write() function to communicate with ZLAN5102-3.
7. The innovative disconnecting detecting method. Whether it running in TCP
Server mode or TCP Client mode, once network is disconnected by some reason,
the disconnecting detecting method will detected it and reestablished the
connecting.
8. With build-in Web server, its parameters can be modified by web browser.
9. Support DHCP, easy for IP management and solve IP confliction.
10. Support DNS. It fulfills the need of access data server through domain name.
11. Flexible serial data framing setting. It fulfills all kinds of serial data frame
requirement.
12. UDP mode support dynamic destination address mode. It helps for multi-user
mange one serial server.
13. Real Com Driver mode support using the 9-th bit to facilitate communication
with milt-device. (the 9-th bit being 0 means data frame and 1 means address
frame).
14. Support searching serial servers and modifying parameters through Internet
remotely
15. Support parameter modifying protection, preventing modifying by accident.

Support running with default parameters.
16. Build-in 2 KV electrical plus protection in RJ45.
17. High protection of electromagnetic interference, with its high electromagnetic
interference protection SECC external shell.
