ELK PRODUCTS SERIAL TO ETHERNET CONVERTER
CONNECT YOUR M1 TO AN ETHERNET NETWORK
The ELKIP232 is an Ethernet to RS-232 Serial Port Bridge. It may be used to connect any standard serial communications device such as a PC, an audio/video distribution system, or an Elk-M1 Control, to an Ethernet network. It allows bi-directional communication between the two. It operates as a network server, which means it does not initiate network connections, but rather accepts them. Once a network connection is accepted, the remote networked device or computer is virtually connected to the serial device on the other side of the Bridge. Both the network device and the serial device can send and receive messages to and from each other. Up to twelve network devices may be connected simultaneously. Data sent from any one of them is bridged to the serial port. Data received on the serial side is transmitted to all connected network devices.
It is powered by an ELKP1216 12 Volts DC, 1.5 Amp plug-in power supply/adapter (included). A software setup utility for configuring the serial and network setup options can be installed from the included CD ROM or may be downloaded from www.elkproducts.com. The ELK-IP232 is factory defaulted to obtain a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. Ethernet switch, cable modem, etc.), however it may also be setup with a static IP address.
The ELK-IP232 is not replacing the ELK-M1XEP. Unlike the ELK-M1XEP the ELK-IP232 does not offer a built-in web server and cannot send email or alarm reporting.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The ELK-IP232 Bridge does not support encryption nor secure network connections. If remote (Internet) connections are allowed to it, whatever serial device is connected will be vulnerable. It is recommended that the Bridge be used within a local network only, behind a router and/or firewall.
