Introduction
The TROY Serial Server is designed to connect any RS-232 serial device to
an Ethernet network. It handles a wide range of different kinds of serial
devices, including printers, security devices, electronic signs, and much
more. This manual is specifically for quick installation of your Serial Server
with TROY recommended procedures. For more detailed configuration
instructions (including non-standard configurations), please refer to the
TROY Administrator’s Guide
located on the CD-ROM supplied with your
Serial Server or on the TROY web site
(
http://www.troygroup.com/wireless
). Note that the Serial Server is
software compatible with TROY print servers, which means that operating
systems and programs that work with these serial servers will also work
with the Serial Server.
