SitePlayer Telnet User’s Manual
Introduction
SitePlayer Telnet is an RS232 to Ethernet protocol converter. It allows you to connect legacy RS232 devices
to the internet by providing a TCP/IP telnet session to an RS232 port. SitePlayer Telnet is configured using a
standard web browser. A variety of parameters may be configured for both the serial port and the internet
connection.
With SitePlayer Telnet you will be able to make an RS232 serial device accessible from any where there is an
internet connection. You will no longer be restricted by wiring limitations. If you have access to the internet,
you will be able to also access SitePlayer. There are many devices which can only be controlled via RS232.
With SitePlayer you can now control these devices through the internet. You can also use two SitePlayer
Telnet devices to create an internet bridge between two serial devices.
This document describes the SitePlayer Telnet product which comes completely assembled including
SitePlayer Module, Telnet carrier board and case. If you have purchased just the SitePlayer Module, you will
find a schematic in Appendix B of the non Power Over Ethernet Telnet carrier board which will help illustrate
how to connect the SitePlayer module to external devices. Appendix B also contains the pin-out for the
SitePlayer Module. If you are using just a SitePlayer Module, please keep in mind that the signal levels de-
scribed in this document are RS232 levels, and that the module levels will be inverted.
