The UDS-10 Device Server connects serial devices to Ethernet networks using the IP
protocol family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram
applications). A few of the different types of serial devices supported are listed below:
• Time/Attendance Clocks and Terminals

• CNC Controllers
• Data Collection Devices
• Universal Power Supply (UPS) Management Units
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Data Display Devices
• Security Alarms and Access Control Devices
• Handheld Instruments

The UDS-10 connects these devices through a TCP data channel or through a Telnet
connection to computers or another Device Server. Datagrams can be sent by UDP.
The UDS-10 supports RS-232, RS-422/485 via its DB-25F serial port. It supports 10Mb/s
Ethernet through the RJ-45 connector. It can be configured via HTTP, SNMP, DHCP or
Telnet. It contains a Flash ROM for easy software upgrades.
