ES-346 Description

Ethernet to Serial device server providing access to four RS422/485 serial ports. Data transfer rates up to 1,000,000 baud rates, coupled with 1Mbit/s line drivers deliver uncompromising performance. Our ES range provides simple instant networked serial ports. RS485 – 1 twisted pair – half duplex configuration with autogating provides trouble free data transmission due to automatic control of data direction. A web interface allows secure configuration and control of the serial ports over a local network or the internet using any browser. For Windows our in-house designed (32 bit and 64 bit) driver gives you local COM ports, retaining existing software applications and allowing you to connect across your network to remote devices just as if they were attached locally. You can access the device via TCP/IP sockets from any networked device like an Android tablet, PC or phone. Serial Port Tunnelling (individually configurable) allows serial cable replacement over any distance, no software required. On Windows OS TCP/IP sockets are handled by the Winsock API, this will differ on other OSs.

  1. BB Eco. Replaces Boost.IO and Boost.LAN. An ES-246 turns into view as the BB mark draws.
  2. Discover. The ES-246 appears in BB Eco with its name, address and firmware version.
  3. Locate. One click on Locate and the ES-246 flashes its LEDs, so you can find it in the cabinet.
  4. Upgrade, with confidence. BB Eco checks the firmware is right for the device, then upgrades it stage by stage.
  5. One device, or a hundred. One ES-246, then a cabinet of fifteen devices, then a row of cabinets.
  6. Upgrade all, in one workflow. Every device in the cabinet is upgraded in turn.
  7. Apply one template to them all. A template is previewed on eight devices, then applied.
  8. BB Eco spots changes from your template. A changed setting is shown against the saved baseline.
  9. Scan. Script. Automate. A subnet scan, the command line, and automatic upgrades.
