ND-8511(D) Overview
ADLINK ND-8511(D) is a 1-port RS-232/422/485 to Ethernet data
converter. It is a compact sized communication module that allows users to
control serial devices (RS-232/422/485) over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet
network.
Users may connect host computer systems (Windows98/ME/2000/XP or
Linux OSs) to a native serial port through a TCP/IP Ethernet. With one
asynchronous serial port connection on one end and a 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet connection on the other, ND-8511(D) also allows any device that
primarily supports the asynchronous communications protocol to attach to
a network. ND-8511(D) works like an add-on single-port serial board to PC
servers, but with advantages of the TCP/IP network protocol. With the ND-
8511(D), users are able to control asynchronous serial devices from
virtually any location.
Serial devices connects through a virtual Ethernet link of the, but are
recognized as a real COM port by Windows. ND-8511(D) can be used with
existing applications, and comes with a utility program providing a simple
step-by-step installation procedure and maintenance wizard that gives
users easy access to asynchronous device.
