Introduction Thank you for purchasing our product LAN to RS-485/422 Converter LNX-003. LNX-003 is a LAN converter which makes it possible to use RS-485/422 devices via Ethernet local area network. LNX-003 has obtained the CE marking.(except for PoE function) 1.
And by using TCP/UDP or Telnet, direct control from PC is also available. LNX-003 supports PoE function as a standard model, making it possible to be powered via LAN cable (PoE compatible HUB or other is required). It can also be operated from AC adapter.
Card Slot LAN Side Active LED Power Input Link LED LEDs Name(color) Function Active LED (green) Turn on during network port communication. Turn on when LNX-003 is powered and LAN cable is LINK Link LED (yellow) connected normally. LNX-003(Ver.1.0)
