About Your ES1AWB Wireless Serial Server
ES1AWB Wireless Serial Servers
are part of B&B Electronics’ growing
family of device servers, products that allow you to connect equipment with
available serial connections into existing networks. ES1AWB wireless serial
servers connect RS-232 devices to a wireless network via wireless access
points, eliminating the need for network cabling. Based on the 802.11b
wireless standard, ES1AWB servers operate at up to 11 Mbps over the 2.4
GHz band, which does not require licensing.
A serial device connected to the serial port on your ES1AWB can be
accessed from any node on the LAN using
virtual COM port, console
management, TCP and UDP socket, serial bridge, modem emulation
and
custom connections
. Network addresses can be obtained dynamically or
manually. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported.
Configuration is accomplished through a web-based user interface.
