Introduction

 

Serial to Wi-Fi converter is provided new ways of connecting serial devices to a Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi 

802.11  b/g  ).  Serial  to  Wi-Fi  Converter  is  designed  to  operate  serial  ports  through  wireless  (Wi-Fi 

802.11 b/g). The data is transmitted via TCP/IP protocol. Therefore control is available via Ethernet, 

Intranet  and  Internet.  Serial  to  Wi-Fi  Converter  is  packaged  in  a  case  well  suited  for  industrial 

environments.  All  serial  ports  operate  in  common  RS-232  mode,  industrial  RS-422  and  RS-485 

modes configuration. 

With  the  maturity  of  Wi-Fi  technology  of  802.11b/g,  delivering  cost  effective  becomes  increasingly 

important.  Model  EX-9486C-W  of  Serial  to  Wi-Fi  converter  product  is  a  more  competitive  price  by 

careful selecting high quality with competitive prices components in the world, the product design is 

adopted  ARM  single-chip,  made  network  connectivity  possible  with  affordable  cost  for  virtually  all 

kinds  of  devices.  This  user  manual  will  guide  you  step  by  step  for  setting  the  various  functions  of
