4.0Device Types

This manual covers all variations available in the AirborneDirect™ device family. The following section identifies the different types both functional and classification. In most cases the functional types are available in the listed classifications. If you are not certain which type you have or would like clarify the available options please contact Quatech Sales or Technical support.

4.1Serial

This device supports a single or dual serial port and provides serial to 802.11 bridging. The serial devices can support one or more of the following serial interface types:

RS232

RS422

RS485

Default configuration on all models is RS232, conversion to RS422/485 requires software configuration and in some models jumper setting changes. These are covered in the following sections.

This device allows the connection of a serial port to an 802.11 network.

4.2Ethernet

The Ethernet adapter provides a wireless interface to an existing Ethernet port (RJ-45). Depending upon the model of device the connection to the Ethernet port of the host is made via a RJ-45 socket or pigtail with a RJ-45 plug.

The device supports a 10/100 Ethernet interface with auto configuration. Manual control of the interface is possible through the web or CLI interface.

4.3Serial + Ethernet

This device allows for simultaneous connection of Serial and Ethernet ports. Providing the same functionality on each port that is available on the individual devices, it is possible to maintain network based connections to both the Ethernet and Serial ports without compromise of functionality or performance.

Each interface can be configured and operated independently of the others. Connection to the serial port can be made via both the wireless and Ethernet ports supporting redundant network connectivity for high reliability applications.
