Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction ES1A Mini Ethernet to RS-232 Converters provide simple and cost- effective solutions for connecting RS-232 devices to Ethernet networks. ES1A converters make it easy to connect serial printers, copiers, building automation, retail, point-of-sale, warehousing and banking equipment directly into Ethernet networks. ES1A converters support virtual COM port, console management, TCP and UDP socket, serial bridge, modem emulation

Introduction Communication Modes ES1A Ethernet to RS-232 converters allow you to connect serial devices over a LAN or WAN. Serial devices no longer are limited to a physical connection to the PC COM port. They can be installed anywhere on the LAN using TCP/IP or UDP/IP communications. This allows traditional Windows PC software access to serial devices anywhere on the LAN/WAN network. Direct IP Direct IP Mode allows applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket programs to communicate wit

Introduction Other Communications Modes ES1A Converters also feature the following communications profiles: Modem Emulation Mode allows you to configure the serial port to operate as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to communicate through a modem, the serial device can now be connected to the ES1A and communication occurs over the network. The ES1A emulates modem responses to and from the serial device. In Console Management Mode the ES1A can be
