LANTRONIX UDS2100 Ethernet to serial port interfacing to BOSCH DCN-NG

The LANTRONIX UDS2100 is an intelligent Dual Serial-to-Ethernet device server that enables any device or machine with a serial port to become network and Internet-enabled within minutes. Using a method called Serial Tunneling you can manage your equipment from virtually anywhere over a network or the Internet. The UDS2100 device server has an integrated web server, allowing any device to which it is attached to be "contacted" and monitored via a standard Internet browser. TCP/IP is embedded into the UDS2100, enabling it to operate within non-PC environments. The Modem Emulation Mode allows it to behave like a modem but communicate over TCP/IP. The UDS2100 is a product which can be integrated into a system with minimal set-up. The configuration utility allows quick and easy customization to suit any network or serial device. Virtual Comm Port drivers are provided to allow a UDS2100-connected device to communicate with existing software over TCP/IP.
