Highcross ECM-RS2D Quick Reference Manual

The ECM-RS2D module is designed to control any devices with
RS232/RS485 interface as well as be DMX512 controller.
The module is a bidirectional gateway between physical interface
RS232/RS485 and Ethernet network and supports multiple TCP/
IP connections for each serial port.
The device has 2 independent isolated serial ports.
