1.1 About the IDS-5042 Serial Device Server
IDS-5042 / 5042+ / 5042-l+ is an innovative 4 ports RS232/422 /485 to
2 ports LAN device server with optional isolation RS-422 / 485 serial
ports and one P.O.E PD Ethernet port.. Users are able to configure
IDS-5042 by DS-Tool via LAN port. IDS-5042 offers many powerful
features for HW & SW redundant functions. When the connection
between master-link and LAN fails, the IDS-5042 can automatically
switch to another LAN port within 10mS, and still guarantee a non-stop
connection.
IDS-5042 also supports switch mode, users can use Daisy Chain to
reduce the usage of Ethernet switch ports. Secondly, the IDS-5042 can
simultaneously transfer data into 5 host PCs. This feature can assure all critical data that saved
in different host PCs to avoid Ethernet break or host PCs failure. Device also supports the data
encryption with SSL, so it can assure the data transfer safely.
Thirdly, the IDS-5042 provides dual redundant power inputs on terminal block. IDS-5042 also
provides NAT pass through function so that users are able to manage IDS-5042 inside or
outside the NAT router. It is easy for different IP domain users to use IDS-5042. Therefore,
IDS-5042 is the best communication redundant solution for current application of serial
devices.
