Introduction
1.1 UDS-10
The UDS-10 Device Server connects serial devices to Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram applications). A few of the different types of serial devices supported are listed below:
•Time/Attendance Clocks and Terminals
•ATM Machines
•CNC Controllers
•Data Collection Devices
•Universal Power Supply (UPS) Management Units
•Telecommunications Equipment
•Data Display Devices
•Security Alarms and Access Control Devices
•Handheld Instruments
•Modems
The UDS-10 connects these devices through a TCP data channel or through a Telnet connection to computers or another Device Server. Datagrams can be sent by UDP.
The UDS-10 supports RS-232, RS-422/485 via its DB-25F serial port. It supports 10Mb/s Ethernet through the RJ-45 connector. It can be configured via HTTP, SNMP, DHCP or Telnet. It contains a Flash ROM for easy software upgrades.
