RS-232 - Ethernet
Comparison of RS-232 with Ethernet connections
 The RS-232 interface defines the connections between terminals and modems with respect to timing, voltage level, protocol, and plug. With a baud rate of 19.200, a maximum cable length of 15m is possible. 9-pin Sub D plugs and sockets are currently used as standard connections. The RS-232 Interface-Tester enables you to test and configure these connections individually. A large number of digitally signal-recording machines, measuring instruments, sensors, and other devices such as cash registering systems, CNC machines or light barriers use an RS232 interface to output digital data at a PC. However, this data is rarely available at the right place. This calls for an interface converter capable of integrating sytems into the common standard Ethernet. The Serial to Ethernet Converter ipEther232 has been specially designed to record data via RS-232 interfaces and to transfer it to the Ethernet.
 The Ethernet is a frame-based computer network technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines cable types and signaling for the physical layer as well as package formats and protocols for media access control (link layer of the OSI model). Depending on the data transmission rate and cable types (glass fiber or copper), the maximum distance between junctions can amount to 40km. Currently, the maximum data transmission rate is 10 Gbit/s. The commonly used plugs and sockets are RJ-45 (these can also be found on the Data Event Logger ipEther.IO, BNC and SC-Duplex. However, a wireless transmission is also possible as WLAN which controls ipEther.WLAN
