Connect to Serial Devices Over LAN
Cost-Effective Connection to Serial Devices for Multiple Concurrent Users
In this application, a remote telemetry unit acts as a terminal server, giving remote LAN access to serial devices at the remote site. LAN-based visibility is a better solution than dedicated copper circuits, for several reasons.
LAN-based transport is:
- Simpler and more cost-effective than a dedicated line
- Uses existing transport infrastructure
- Eliminates installation costs and recurring monthly costs
- Allows multiple users to concurrently access remote-site serial devices.
A high-quality RTU will provide access to multiple serial devices, providing you with complete visibility of all the equipment at your remote site.
