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.
