UDS-10B and UDS100B Embedded Device Servers

The UDS-10B and UDS100B can network-enable virtually any electronic device at board level, allowing it to be remotely monitored, managed, and controlled over the internet or shared network. These boards are designed to be integrated into the housing of devices like factory automation, security & access control, heating and ventilation systems, lighting controller and Point-of-Sale devices.  These modules are the internal elements of the UDS10 & UDS100 units and for OEMs and system integrators they offer easy-to-implement solutions across almost any network, providing distributed intelligence to thousands of devices.The Modules eliminate the need to invest engineering resources to develop similar networking solutions and reduce the time it takes to bring intelligent devices to market.Additionally, UDS board products can be a cost-effective alternative to dedicated PCs or lengthy serial cables with fast and reliable networking technology, and bring several new features and enhancements to the embedded product line.

4 simple options to adapt your device to a networked device:

Serial Tunnelling (Point to Point)
The UDS-10 encapsulates serial data into packets and transports it over Ethernet. Using two UDS's connected by a network, virtual serial connections can be extended across a facility or around the world.
Virtual Com Ports (VCP's)
The included Redirector software simplifies your integration process by extending the functionality of your COM port-based Windows® applications. With virtual COM ports mapped to remote Device Servers on the network, you can replace direct serial connections. No changes required to your existing software.
Modem Emulation
In modem emulation mode, the UDS-10 is used to replace dial-up modems. The unit accepts basic modem AT commands on the serial port, then establishes a TCP/IP connection to the end device utilising gateways and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.
Direct TCP/IP connection
If VCP's are not feasible then you can integrate connections to the UDS via a 'Direct Socket' (also known as Winsock). This is particularly suitable for large software applicatiosn running many hundreds of device servers.

The UDS-10 even includes a built-in Web server, which can be used for configuration, or to display operating and troubleshooting information on the attached links to online support.

Utilities
The provided Windows-based configuration software (Device Installer) simplifies installation and setup. The UDS-10 can also be set up locally through its serial port, or remotely over a network using Telnet or a Web browser.

Ideas and Help

Based on the Xport device server it behaves almost identically to the UDS family, with the same config menu's, tools and utilities so you can migrate your accumulated knowledge straight over to NetPort with confidence.For more info click here...
