Lantronix’s innovative approach to network-enabling devices
is transparent to your attached devices and software. You
won’t need to change the way you work, and there’s no
need to develop special software to take advantage of
wireless networking capabilities. The WiBox simply becomes a
conduit between you and your device over your network or
the Internet.
The flexibility and power of WiBox offers a huge cost-saving
potential for a variety of commercial applications. Serial RS-
232/422/485 flexibility, Advanced security, robust data handling
capabilities and high serial speeds are all built in. Using a
method called serial tunneling, the WiBox encapsulates serial
data into packets and transports it over 802.11b/g wireless
networks. By connecting two WiBox units via a network,
virtual serial connections can be extended across your facility
or around the world.
The Com Port Redirector™software included with your WiBox
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.
To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the WiBox
integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network stack and OS.
It 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.
The DeviceInstaller™configuration software that’s included
simplifies installation and setup. WiBox can be set up locally
through its serial port, or remotely over a network using
DeviceInstaller Telnet or a web browser. Flash memory provides
maintenance-free, non-volatile storage of web pages, and
allows future system software upgrades.
In modem emulation mode, WiBox is used to replace dial-up
modems. The unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial
port, then establishes a network connection to the end device,
leveraging wireless mobility and bandwidth to eliminate
dedicated modems and phone lines.
If you’re looking for a transparent, cost-effective and scalable
means to network-enable your serial devices, look no further
than WiBox from Lantronix.
Total Com Port Control with
TruPort Technology
Built into the included Com Port Redirector software,
TruPort®technology enables Windows-based applications
to access and control serial ports on the WiBox as if they
were actually local PC serial ports. The application can
monitor and set hardware pins on the WiBox serial ports
as well as access serial buffers for total Com port control.
This allows existing applications to seamlessly transition
from controlling local devices to true remote monitoring
and control of devices around the world.
WiBox®dual-port device servers enable you to
connect equipment to 802.11b/g wireless networks via
serial or Ethernet, quickly and easily. By merging wireless
communications and Lantronix device server technology,
WiBox simplifies connectivity to devices in applications
where mobility is required or cabling is impractical.
