Lan Box, a Serial ↔ TCP/IP protocol converter product, enables your serial communication devices (RS-232) to connect to your local area network. Your existed RS-232 devices can be hooked up to the hub and perform as a TCP/IP interfacing device communicates to you computer system.
Along with the development of the Internet, the demand for data communication functions has increased recently. Data communication over the Internet requires using TCP/IP, the Internet communication protocol. That is to say, in order to connect a system to the Internet, TCP/IP protocol must be implemented. Lan Box sends data from the serial port to the LAN after TCP/IP processing and vice versa.
