3. Introduction

The ED-20 is an industrialised DIN Rail mounted, serial to Ethernet Router.The device will allow access to a remote Ethernet network via a Westermo communication product. The device is easily set-up using the ED-Tool for ED-20 configuration program via TELNET or serial connection.

Standard PPP dial-up networking tools can be used from Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or XP, Or another ED-20 to connect to the device. Any other platform supporting the PPP protocol could equally be used.

Passwords are provided to increase the remote site security. Once connected to the remote network all TCP/IP, FTP,TELNET and UDP protocol types can be used. Connection to the ED-20 is via 10Base-T on the Ethernet and RS-232 on the serial side. The serial port supports speeds up to 115 k/bit.

Total galvanic isolation ensures that the data communication will not be effected by ground loops or transfer electrical noise between communications ports.The high EMC specification, like all other Westermo production ensures reliability of operation in the harshest of site conditions.
