Aboundi ARS1120 WLAN Dual SerialBridge™

OVERVIEW

The Aboundi® ARS1120 WLAN Dual SerialBridge™ easily brings a wireless connection to any serial device in a simple and secure manner. The ARS1120 enables remote accessibility for services and support to any legacy serial devices and eliminates cable interference and ground loops. In addition to expanding beyond cabling limitations, it combines the benefits of data network with proven asynchronous connectivity to deliver high performance serial connections to wireless LANs. Its external antenna design also allows the use of third party antenna for extended range and performance.

The ARS1120 has a broad range of networking functions utilizing TCP/IP and UDP/IP to provide serial tunneling. It is easy to set up using a secure web browser. Its flash-upgradeable firmware provides future upgradeability. The ARS1120 Site Survey function allows users to browse the available active Access Points facilitating easy network connection. It also supports full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell.

The Ident-and-Connect™ auto discovery utility allows the user easily find all the available ARS1120 in the network and can access any specific ARS1120. The SerialComm™ Virtual COM utility will treat the ARS1120 serial ports as the COM ports of the Windows based PC/NB running the Virtual COM utility.

The SerialComm™ provides the function including diagnostic service tools with event log record for the easy of system maintenance.

The ARS1120 supports full and half-duplex transmission, software and hardware flow control, and has programmable baud rates for application optimization. Its enhanced security features support 64 bit and 128 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption.

Overall, the ARS1120 will enable wireless connections for most serial applications including retail point-of-sales, remote metering and display, industrial and building automation, security and access control and general data acquisition applications.
