Specifications

Product Description

The MultiConnect serial-to-serial device server enables installed serial devices to connect to the Internet for remote

monitoring, control and configuration.

Internet-Enable Any Device. The MultiConnect provides the powerful ability to IP-enable serial devices allowing

more options for data acquisition, device management, and industrial control than would otherwise be available.

Simply install the MultiConnect between a serial device and an analog, ISDN, or wireless modem to send and receive

data over the Internet. It can also serve as a single Web page in response to a Web browser request.

Reduces Development Time. MultiConnect can make your existing and next generation serial device IP-ready

without requiring hardware changes to its design. MultiConnect actually provides faster time-to-market because it

relieves the burden and expense of writing and maintaining Internet applications. The complete, ready-to-integrate

MultiConnect allows you to enhance your product while you focus on developing its core features.

Management and Configuration. MultiConnect has several means of management and configuration built into the

design. It supports remote configuration, which means you can have central site setup and control of the remote

MultiConnect device servers via the command line interface or telnet.

Applications

The MultiConnect will IP-enable any device to provide remote monitoring, control and configuration of any system.

The solution is ideal for the following applications:

•Appliances

•ATM terminals

•Credit card and check verification systems

•Data collection

•Gas pumps

•Industrial and medical remote monitoring systems

•Point-of-sale terminals

•Remote diagnostics

•Remote metering

•Security systems

•Ticketing machines

•Vending/gaming machines

•And more…..

Handling Precautions

All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge.

Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of this static buildup,

proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and mounting.

Chapter 2 – Installation

Attaching the MultiConnect to a Fixed

Location

The MultiConnect device server is design to be used on the desktop or to be panel-mounted. To attach the bracket

for panel-mounting, following these steps:

1. Typically, the MultiConnect device server is mounted against a flat surface with two mounting screws. Drill the

mounting holes at the desired location. The mounting holes must separated by 4 -15/16 inches center-to-center.

2. To attach the brackets to the MultiConnect, slide the mounting brackets into the corresponding slots on the back

of the MultiConnect chassis.

3. Attach the device server to the surface with two screws.
