1.3 Product Description
The
Web-Smart ICS-10x
series Media Converter / Device Server provide to converts
Serial RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485
communication interface over Fast Ethernet networking
. There are RJ-45/SC/LC connectors and
single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two types of segments to connect easily,
efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET
Media Converter Chassis (
MC-700, MC-1500 and MC-1500R
). It’s time saving expense for user and SI, no need to
replace the existing Serial equipment and software system.
It extends the distance of deploying Serial equipments and hosts. The selectable fiber-Optic wires on the basis of
distance are flexibly provided. Therefore, this product will perfectly satisfy the diverse demands while providing reliable
and efficient network solutions based on the distance and budgets of installation.
The ICS-10x make connected Serial equipment becomes IP-based. That also makes them be able to connect to a
TCP/IP networking immediately. Each Web-Smart converter is able to manage through the Web Interface. The powerful
Web-Smart Media Converter supports Application mode, Serial operation mode connect alarm and IP address, etc.
Management function helps reduce the amount of valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and

1.4 Applications
Access Control System – Traditional Installation
Most of the enterprise and government use access control plate and Mifare or RFID to authorize the entrance identity.
With traditional deploy, access control machine use RS-232 or RS-485 serial interface and cables connect to login server.
With connection to ICS-10x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the access control machine is able to be extend over
longer distances via fiber optical interface. Or the ICS-10x can be linked to a xDSL router to get the internet access
capability; the access control can be set and monitored over the internet.
