1. Introduction.
The Ethernet Adaptor EAD 02 Device Server is designed to connect peripherals with a
Serial interface to an Ethernet Network using the TCP/IP protocol family (TCP for
Transparent stream and UDP for Datagram applications). Various peripherals can be
interfaced, for example:
?
Terminals
?
Time/attendance and Data Collection Devices
?
CNC controllers
?
Industrial Robots
?
Data Display units
?
Instruments
?
Printers
?
Modems
The EAD 02 connects peripherals through a transparent TCP data channel or a Telnet
connection to computers or another EAD 02. Datagrams (protocol blocks) can be sent by
UDP. The Network interface speed is 10-Mbit for Ethernet.
2. EAD 02 Interfaces
The EAD 02 supports different peripheral device interface connections.
