Overview
The CoBox-Mini can be designed as an attachment to a PCB board. The serial interface is
accomplished via TTL connectors which include transmit, receive, and full handshaking.
UTP or AUI network interfaces can be utilized. The CoBox-Mini supports network speeds
of 10Mbps.
Both the length and orientation of the CoBox-Mini’s interface pins can be specified to fit
your product’s architectural requirements. The CoBox-Mini requires 5 volts DC of
regulated power with maximum current of 200mA for normal operation.
The CoBox-Mini’s well-developed IP firmware supports protocols such as ARP, UDP,
TCP, BOOTP, Telnet, ICMP, SNMP, DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP, as well as other custom
protocols. The CoBox-Mini also supports a variety of user-configurable options such as
buffer control and packetization, which make it easy to use in most applications.
Note: This manualdocumentsthe present version (Rev 2) of the CoBox-Mini.
This latest version of the CoBox-Mini is distinguished from the earlier
version by its dual TTL serial ports (CON1 and CON4). The earlier
version had one TTL serial port.
