Industrial Serial-to-Ethernet Bridge
The CoolGear MSD-SRP2XM-PRO connects two legacy serial devices to an IP network through dual DB9 ports supporting RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 protocols. It is designed for engineers integrating CNC controllers, barcode readers or POS systems into modern infrastructure without rewriting existing software. Virtual COM port drivers let current applications communicate transparently over TCP, UDP, VCOM or Modbus. The rugged metal enclosure suits factory floors and outdoor cabinets.
PoE Simplifies Installation
Power over Ethernet removes the need for a local power supply, so the unit can be mounted on a DIN rail or flat surface wherever a single Ethernet cable reaches. Configuration is handled through a web interface once the device receives an IP address. The most common issue is a protocol mismatch between the serial device and the server port settings; verify baud rate, parity and flow control before assuming a hardware fault. Ensure the network switch delivers sufficient PoE power budget for stable operation.
Serial Distance and Bandwidth Limits
RS-485 multidrop lines can extend far beyond the 15 metre practical limit of RS-232, but throughput remains bound by the serial baud rate rather than Ethernet speed. The 15KV ESD protection guards the signal pins against transient surges common in industrial wiring. This server does not add wireless connectivity, fibre uplinks or routing functions; it strictly bridges serial streams to packet networks. Buyers needing more than two simultaneous serial ports or wireless backhaul must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the MSD-SRP2XM-PRO is operating correctly after installation?
Check the LED indicators for power and network link status, then use the management utility to confirm both DB9 ports are communicating with your RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 devices over TCP, UDP, VCOM, or Modbus.
What comes in the box with the MSD-SRP2XM-PRO and what must I source separately?
The package includes the device server with dual DB9 ports, a metal enclosure, and DIN-rail plus surface-mount hardware; you only need to provide an Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch or injector, as no external power supply is required.
Which serial protocol version should I select for my equipment on the MSD-SRP2XM-PRO?
Each DB9 port can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 through the web interface, so choose the protocol that matches the specific device you are connecting to that port.
