2: Introduction

The UDS1100 is a single-port device server that provides a quick, simple, and cost- effective way to bring the advantages of data accessibility and remote management to devices not currently connected to a network.

Applications

The UDS family of Device Servers allows serial devices, such as those listed below, to connect and communicate over Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram applications).

Security alarms

Access control devices

Fire control panels

Time/attendance clocks and terminals

ATM machines

Data collection devices

RFID readers

Universal Power Supply (UPS) management units

Telecommunications equipment

Data display devices

Virtually any asynchronous RS-232, RS422, or RS485 device

Application Examples

Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS encapsulates serial data into packets and transports them over Ethernet. Using two UDS units, connected by a network, virtual serial connections can extend across a facility or around the world.
