UDS1100 Device Server User Guide 11
2: Introduction
The UDS1100 is a single-port device server that provides a quick, simple, and
cost-effective way to bring the advantages of data accessibility and remote
management to devices not currently connected to a network.
Applications
The UDS family of Device Servers allows serial devices, such as those listed
below, to connect and communicate over Ethernet networks using the IP protocol
family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram
applications).
Security alarms
Access control devices
Fire control panels
Time/attendance clocks and terminals
ATM machines
Data collection devices
RFID readers
Universal Power Supply (UPS) management units
Telecommunications equipment
Data display devices
Virtually any asynchronous RS-232, RS422, or RS485 device
Application Examples
Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS encapsulates serial data into
packets and transports them over Ethernet. Using two UDS units, connected by a
network, virtual serial connections can extend across a facility or around the
world.
