Introduction

Chapter 1: Introduction

PES1A and PESV1A Mini PoE (Power over Ethernet) Ethernet to RS- 232 Converters provide simple and cost-effective solutions for connecting RS-232 devices to Ethernet networks. PES1A and PESV1A converters make it easy to connect serial printers, copiers, building automation, retail, point of sale, warehousing and banking equipment directly into Ethernet networks. Both models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation and the PESV1A provides a switch selectable voltage output to power external devices.

PES1A and PESV1A converters support virtual COM port, console management, TCP and UDP socket, serial bridge, terminal, modem emulation and custom connections. Network addresses can be obtained dynamically or manually. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported. Configuration is accomplished through a web-based user interface.
