Connect Your Elk M1 Panel to Your Home Network
Make your M1 panel more effective by connecting it to your home network. Use this Ethernet to RS-232 Serial Port Bridge to connect any standard serial communications device such as a PC, an audio/video distribution system, or an Elk-M1 Control to an Ethernet network. It allows bi-directional communication between the two. It operates as a network server, which means it does not initiate network connections, but rather, accepts them. Once a network connection is accepted, the remote networked device or computer is virtually connected to the serial device on the other side of the Bridge. Both the network device and the serial device can send and receive messages to and from each other. Up to twelve network devices may be connected simultaneously. Data sent from any one of them is bridged to the serial port. Data received on the serial side is transmitted to all connected network devices.
- Allows up to 12 TCP-IP connections
- Multiple converters can be used on the same network
- LED indicators for power, link, and date
- Price: $142.99
