Lantronix ED2100002-LNX-01 Dual Port Device Server

Overview

The Lantronix ED2100002-LNX-01 is a dual-port 10/100 Ethernet device server designed to connect serial-based equipment to an IP network. It runs a Linux operating system, offering flexibility for custom applications and integration into existing infrastructure. This unit is suitable for environments where legacy serial devices, such as industrial controllers, medical equipment, or older security system components, need to be managed and monitored over a standard Ethernet network. The ED2100002-LNX-01 provides a reliable bridge for serial-to-Ethernet conversion, enabling remote access and control without requiring physical proximity to the device.

Compatibility

This device server is designed to interface with any serial device utilizing RS-232 or RS-485 communication protocols. It is compatible with network video recorders (NVRs) and video management systems (VMS) that support serial device integration for PTZ control or alarm input/output. It can also integrate with industrial automation systems, building management systems, and other IP-enabled infrastructure where serial device connectivity is required.

Installation Notes

Requires a standard 10/100 Ethernet connection and a serial cable appropriate for the connected device's interface (RS-232 or RS-485). Configuration is typically performed via a web interface or serial console, allowing for setup of IP addressing, serial port parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits), and network protocols (TCP, UDP, Serial Tunneling). Ensure proper network segmentation and security practices are applied when integrating serial devices into an IP network.
