Remotely Monitor, Manage and Share Devices
Over a Network or the Internet

The dual-port UDS200 device server enables you to connect serial devices to IP-based Ethernet networks, quickly and easily. Powered by DSTni-LX, a powerful Lantronix device networking chip, the UDS200 replaces limited distance, point-to-point serial connections.

Our approach to network-enabling devices is transparent to your attached devices and software. You won’t need to change the way you work, and there’s no need to develop special software to take advantage of Ethernet networking. And with the UDS200 any piece of equipment with a serial port can be added to the network in a matter of minutes!

Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS200 encapsulates serial data into packets and transports it over Ethernet. Using two UDS200s, connected by a network, virtual serial connections can be extended across a facility or around the world. So you can manage your equipment from virtually anywhere over a network or the Internet.

The included redirection software extends the functionality of your COM port-based Windows® applications. With virtual COM ports, mapped to remote device servers on the network, you can replace direct serial connections.
Easy to Set Up and Use

The included Windows-based configuration software simplifies installation and setup. The UDS200 can also be set up locally through its serial port, or remotely over a network using Telnet or a web browser.

The UDS200 includes a built-in web server, which can be used for configuration and to host usercreated web pages for accessing and controlling the connected equipment.

Flash memory provides maintenance-free nonvolatile storage of web pages, and allows future system software upgrades.
Modem Replacement

In modem emulation mode, the UDS200 is used to replace dial-up modems. The unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial port, then establishes a network connection to the end device, leveraging network connections and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.

If you’re looking for a transparent, cost-effective, and scalable means to network-enable your serial devices, look no further than the UDS200.
