XPress™ DR Industrial Device Server

The XPress DR device server connects serial devices to Ethernet networks using the IP protocol

family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram applications). A

few of the different types of serial devices supported are listed below:



Time/Attendance Clocks and Terminals



ATM Machines



CNC Controllers



Data Collection Devices



Universal Power Supply (UPS) Management Units



Telecommunications Equipment



Data Display Devices



Security Alarms and Access Control Devices



Handheld Instruments



Modems

The XPress DR connects these devices through a TCP data channel or through a Telnet

connection to computers or another device server. Datagrams can be sent by UDP.

Figure 2-1 XPress DR

The XPress DR supports RS-232, RS-422/485 via its screw terminals and RJ45 serial port. It

supports 10/100 megabytes per second (Mbps) Ethernet through the RJ-45 connector. It can be

configured via HTTP, SNMP, DHCP or Telnet. It contains a flash ROM for easy software

upgrades.
