  • Page 7: Introduction

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1. Introduction The tDS-700/DS-2200 is a series of Serial-to-Ethernet device servers that are designed to add Ethernet and Internet connectivity to any RS-232 and RS-422/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length limitation of legacy serial communications. By using the VxComm Driver/Utility, the built-in COM Port of the tDS-700/DS-2200 series can be virtualized to a standard PC COM Port in Windows.
  • Page 8 Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server In harsh industrial environments, the tDS-700/DS-2200 series (for i version) also adds 3000 V +/- 4 kV ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuit to protects the module and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current.

  • Page 9: Ethernet Solutions

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1.1 Ethernet Solutions Nowadays, the Ethernet protocol has become the foremost standard for local area networks. Connectivity via the Internet snow common in many of the latest applications from home appliances, to vending machines, to testing equipment, to UPS, etc. An Ethernet network can link office automation and industrial control networks, access remote systems and share data and information between machines from multiple vendors, and also provides a cost-effective solution for industrial control networks.

  • Page 10: Comm Technology

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1.2 VxComm Technology In general, writing a TCP/IP program is more difficult than writing a COM Port program. Another issue is that perhaps the existing the COM Port communication system was built many years ago and is now outdated. As a result, a new technology, VxComm was developed to virtualize the COM Ports of the tDS-700/ DS-2200 to allow up to 256 COM Ports to be used on a central computer.
  • Page 11 Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server The VxComm driver controls all the details of the Ethernet TCP/IP programming technique, meaning that, with the assistance of tDS-700/DS-2200 and VxComm technology, your COM Port program will be able to access your serial devices through the Ethernet in the same way as through a COM Port.

  • Page 12: Web Server Technology

    Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server 1.3 Web Server Technology Web server technology enables the tDS-700/DS-2200 to be configured via a standard web browser interface, e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox, etc. This means that it is easy to check the configuration of the tDS-700/DS-2200 via an Ethernet network without needing to install any other software tools, thereby reducing the learning curve required for maintaining the device.
