Sarjaporttipalvelin Exsys EX-6114-2POE – Ethernet 4×RS-232, PoE ja 12V/3A virtalähde

The Exsys EX-6114-2POE serial device server converts an Ethernet network connection into four independent RS-232 serial ports, enabling remote access and control of legacy and serial-based equipment. The unit supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation and comes with a 12V/3A external power supply for environments without PoE. It provides configurable network settings, per-port serial parameter configuration and secure remote connections to integrate point-of-sale terminals, industrial controllers and sensors into LAN or WAN infrastructures.

Advantages

The device server reduces cabling complexity by delivering network access to up to four serial devices via a single Ethernet connection while supporting PoE for power and data over one cable. Each RS-232 port is independently configurable for baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits, allowing simultaneous connection of diverse devices. Centralized management and remote access capabilities facilitate monitoring, firmware updates and diagnostics without physical presence. The included 12V/3A adapter ensures uninterrupted operation where PoE is not available.

Suitable for

• Connecting point-of-sale (POS) peripherals to a network
• Integrating serial industrial equipment and PLCs into Ethernet-based systems
• Remote monitoring of sensors and measurement instruments
• Centralized serial device management in kiosks, ATMs or vending machines
• Environments where PoE installation or auxiliary power is required

Key specifications

• Interface: 1×10/100Base-T Ethernet with PoE support
• Serial ports: 4×independent RS-232 ports
• Power options: PoE or external 12V / 3A power supply
• Serial settings: configurable baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits per port
• Network features: configurable IP settings for LAN/WAN connectivity and remote access
• Management: centralized configuration, remote diagnostics and firmware update capability
• Mounting: compact form factor suitable for desktop or DIN-rail/wall mounting (check mounting accessories)

How to use

Connect the EX-6114-2POE to your Ethernet network using a standard network cable and enable PoE on the switch if available; alternatively, plug in the included 12V/3A adapter. Attach up to four RS-232 serial devices to the corresponding DB9 (or terminal) connectors. Access the device’s web-based configuration interface or management utility from a browser on the same network to assign an IP address, configure serial port parameters and set security options. After configuration, map serial ports to TCP/IP sockets or use the vendor’s tunneling/virtual COM features to allow applications on remote hosts to communicate with serial equipment as if locally connected.

Recommendations

Use shielded network and serial cabling in electrically noisy industrial environments and verify PoE power budget on the network switch before deploying multiple units. Regularly back up device configurations and keep firmware updated to ensure network security and compatibility with connected systems.
