Ethernet continues to be the most common office networking infrastructure. Now, Ethernet is making its way from the office to the shop floor. Traditional RS-232 environments require the use of multiport serial cards, expensive cables, and the personnel to manage multiple systems. Patton’s Model 2120 Single Port Terminal Server provides a quick, simple, and cost-effective solution for connecting traditional RS-232 terminals and devices to the LAN.
The Model 2120 enables you to bring all systems and equipment together onto one local area network. Typical serial devices include ASCII terminals, time/attendance devices, CNC controllers, printers, key card systems, and modems. The Model 2120 links serial RS-232 devices to the network by encapsulating the RS-232 data into IP packets for transport over the LAN. Using RAWTCP or TELNET, the Model 2120 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 2120 to dynamically obtain an IP address and a subnet mask from a master server. With SLIP and PPP connections, remote users can access the network and it will appear as if they were locally connected.

Ethernet 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.

Use 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 environments including industrial automation, health care, security, transportation, retail, and many others.

Ethernet continues to be the predominant 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 personnel to manage multiple systems. Patton’s Model 2211 Single-Port Device Server provides a quick, inexpensive, and hassle-free solution for connecting legacy serial terminals 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, preventing the hassle and expense of investing in additional software.
