Convertor Global Caché iTach IP la serial (RS-232, DB9, Ethernet)

Serial-over-IP converter with one RS-232 DB9 port, enabling remote control of serial devices over a 10/100 Ethernet network. Supports baud rates from 1200 to 115200 bps, configurable data bits, parity, and stop bits, and works with TCP/IP and UDP protocols. Compact ABS enclosure with LED indicators for power, link, and activity, and field-upgradable firmware.

Advantages

Integrates legacy RS-232 equipment into modern IP-based control systems without the need for local computers. The web-based configuration interface and iTach utility simplify setup, while the low power consumption (<300 mA at 5V DC) makes it suitable for always-on installations. Surface-mountable design fits easily into equipment racks or behind displays.

Suitable for

• AV control systems (projectors, switchers, displays)
• Industrial automation and PLC communication
• Remote console access to network devices
• Building management and access control
• Point-of-sale and kiosk peripherals
