PortStore5
RS-232 or RS-485 to Ethernet con 4 MB serial system messages by e-mail
PortStore5 is an Ethernet to serial
converter (“terminal server”), featuring
support for full 9-bit RS-232 and RS-485
serial ports and 4096 kB Flash buffer for
storing data whenever the TCP
connection is unavailable.
In the TCP Client/Server mode,
PortStore5 automatically establishes a
TCP connection and attempts to upload
data to the server.
If the internal buffer is full, an e-mail
alert is sent.
Basic features
ƒ
1x
full
RS-232 (9-pin) or RS-485
serial port accessible over the Ethernet.
ƒ
Serial port data are stored in a
4096 kB Flash buffer
and uploaded after establishing a TCP
connection. When the connection is established, stored data are sent as a continuous “RAW
TCP stream”.
ƒ
The remote port can be controlled with a
virtual driver for Windows
just like, for example,
COM 5
(a Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Server 2003 / Server 2008 / x64
driver is available free of charge). Compatible with RFC2217.
ƒ
100 Mbps Ethernet interface – 100BASE-Tx, RJ45.
ƒ
Support for TCP/IP terminal, TELNET – NVT type (
Network Virtual Terminal
).
ƒ
Two devices
can „tunnel“ the serial port over the Ethernet.
ƒ
Web-based configuration interface
.
ƒ
Wide range of supported
serial interface
parameters:
o
Communication speed configurable from 300...115200 Bd
o
Handshake (CTS/RTS, Xon/Xoff, none)
o
Full serial port (Cannon DB9M - RxD, TxD, CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR, RI, CD, GND)
o
Support for 7th to 9th parity bit (9th parity bit transferred over the Ethernet)
ƒ
SDK (Software Development Kit) is available for the device with examples for MS Visual Basic,
Delphi, Borland C++, JAVA, PHP and more.
