New Ethernet-to-serial device expands data options

Guelph, Ontario - May,  2004

Connect Tech Inc., designer and manufacturer of multi-port serial adapters since 1985, introduces the Blue Heat/Net, an Ethernet-to-serial device that will network enable any standard serial device.

The Blue Heat/Net can connect anywhere, so you can remotely monitor equipment over a LAN or use the World Wide Web to easily access your peripherals from wherever you need to be. It eliminates the need for a dedicated PC, cutting equipment expenses and saving floor space.

Four or eight ports of RS-232 or RS-422/485 interface (DB-9 models offer selectable RS-232/422/485), and the ability to configure the Blue Heat/Net via web-based HTTP, Telnet or serial interface make this device flexible and easy to use.

High speed communication requirements are satisfied with real data transfer speeds between 50 bps and 230.4 Kbps per port for RS-232 models, and up to 460.8 Kbps for RS-422/485.

Based on the uClinux embedded operating system, the Blue Heat/Net offers programmers a familiar Linux API. This offers the potential for developers to create customized protocols and download them directly to the on-board Flash memory.
