1. intro

  • the RS232/485 to Ethernet converter allows bi-directional transparent data transmission between RS232/RS485 and RJ45 port Ethernet.

  • we will use fixed ip addresses, in the range of Telenet intranet environment.

  • one of the 2 converters has to be configured either as master (server) or as slave (client)

  • the rs485 baud rate has to be adjusted, depending on the peripherals you are using.

Warning out-of-the-box, each converter uses 192.168.0.7 as the default ip address!

  • on the model with only the rs485 option, the screen looks slighty different
