Direct IP Mode
VESR4x4 Serial Servers
connect serial devices (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-
485) to Ethernet networks, allowing the serial device to become a node on
the network. The serial ports can be accessed over a LAN/WAN using
Direct IP Mode, Virtual COM Port, or Paired Mode connections. VESR4x4
Serial Servers feature 10BaseT or 100BaseTX copper network media and
several fiber optic media options, depending on the model. Many models
also feature an additional copper Ethernet pass-through port. VESR4x4
Serial Servers are built for use in industrial environments and feature heavy
duty metal enclosures that are panel and DIN rail mountable. The product
operates from a range of DC power supply voltages and features pluggable
terminal block power connectors as well as a locking barrel connector that
facilitates redundant power sources.
TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket applications communicate directly
with serial devices
Virtual COM Mode
Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports -
Choose a serial server with fiber optic
Ethernet ports when the application requires long distance runs or high
RFI/EMI noise is present. Many applications require a high level of noise
immunity and fiber eliminates this problem between devices. Fiber optic
connections far exceed the 100m limitation of standard Ethernet copper
ports. Multi-mode fiber can be extended up to 2km distance while single-
mode fiber can run as far as 20km.
Communicate with serial devices through your network as if
they were connected to a physical COM port.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Ease of Use-
Configuration, upgrades and monitoring of the serial server
are simple, Easy tasks with Vlinx Manager Software. It installs right on
your PC giving you access the serial server via your desktop. Remotely
manage the serial server over a LAN or WAN via the build-in web server.
This is helpful for off-site troubleshooting and can be done with a simple
web browser.
Paired Mode
Serial devices communicate with each other by tunneling
through your network.
