FEATURES

• Configuration via Web Browser, Telnet, or direct connection
• Now do SCADA polling protocols via Ethernet
• SNMP agent functionality
• Protocol independent... works with any byte-oriented asynchronous protocol
• Connect up to 32 remotes to each host over Ethernet LAN/WANs
• RS-232 interface speeds up to 230 Kbps
• Use on the LAN or via Routers
• Ideal for Internet or Intranet
• It's an economical async "Ethernet multi-drop modem"
• Easily works with commonly used Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU as well as most any async 8 bit protocol such as DNP, etc.

DESCRIPTION

The EtherPoll supports serial interface speeds up to 230 Kbps. Since it uses the UPD/IP protocol, overhead is much lower than it would be if TCP/IP were used since there is no "session setup" or "session breakdown" with each connection. Up to 32 remote Etherpolls may be used with each host EtherPoll.

The EtherPoll can be managed directly through the server's physical port as well as remotely from other network locations. Remote configuration is supported using TCP/IP (telnet) or any web browser.

Instead of replacing your existing RTUs and SCADA system to go Ethernet, add the EtherPoll for a fraction of the cost.

For other applications (point-to-point direct RS-232 links or Point-to-multiple point dialed links ) see the EtherPath® single port serial server.

OEM manufacturers can design the EtherPoll into their products or use it as an add-on method to gain Ethernet connectivity.. DCB supplies the EtherPoll to many other companies and can provide custom firmware for specific applications.
