Univ Pr of Kansas TCP232-302 RS232 Serial to Ethernet Converter

SKU CH-7R3K-6NS51

Connects RS232 serial devices to Ethernet networks for transparent bidirectional data transmission

  • TypeAmplifiers
  • Bidirectional transparent transmission between RS232/RS485/RS422 and Ethernet
  • Web-page or software configuration for serial and TCP/IP data packaging
  • DC 5V power supply for low-cost RS232 serial server solution
  • Supports up to 16 client connections in TCP server mode
  • Traffic data acquisition and processing via Ethernet for management systems

Single-Port RS232 to Ethernet Converter

This serial device server provides bidirectional transparent transmission between an RS232 interface and an Ethernet network. It is designed for engineers and integrators who need to connect legacy serial equipment to modern IP-based infrastructure. The unit operates as a low-cost solution for basic serial-to-Ethernet bridging tasks.

Ethernet Interface and Client Limits

The converter uses a CAT6 Ethernet link capable of multi-gigabit speeds up to 5 Gbps with 10 Gbps reach of 160. In TCP server mode it accepts 1 to 16 simultaneous client connections for serial data distribution. The hardware does not support RS485 or RS422 operation on this specific model.

Simple DC Power and Web Configuration

The device requires a DC 5 V supply and is configured through a web page or software utility for transparent TCP/IP packaging. Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with serial parameters and network settings. Common issues include mismatched baud rates or incorrect IP addressing on the local network segment.

Highlights

  • Bidirectional transparent transmission between RS232/RS485/RS422 and Ethernet

Questions about this item

Which TCP232 model matches my serial port?

The 302 has an RS232 port, the 304 uses RS485 and the 306 supports RS232, RS485 and RS422 though not simultaneously.

What Ethernet speed does the converter handle in a live setup?

It connects over a standard CAT6 link rated for 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps, so the serial-to-Ethernet bridge will not bottleneck the link.

How many clients can connect to the server at once?

The TCP server mode accepts 1 to 16 simultaneous client connections.
