Aport-312
Dual-port High-speed Serial-to-Ethernet Gateway
The Aport-312 is a dual-port high performance Serial-to-Ethernet gateway which is designed for applications requiring quick, reliable and seamless integration of existing RS-232/422/485 devices to an Ethernet network.
The Aport-312 provides a transparent data channel between serial device and the TCP/IP network, so that the serial device can be accessed through standard TCP/IP protocols.
The Aport-312 can behave as a TCP server, a TCP client or an UDP node on an Ethernet network to fulfill versatile application requirements.
Besides, users can enable Aport-312's heart-beat checking mechanism , which will re-establish the TCP connection every 5 seconds if network malfunction occurs, to keep the device stay connected as soon as possible.
With the Virtual COM driver, the serial ports on the Aport-312 can be mapped as local COM ports on the remote host computer. Thus, no software modification is needed to benefit from modern TCP/IP networking technology.
