The DSX-LAN(M) module is typically used to connect a Master Controller to the Host or Comm Server PC over a Local or Wide Area Network. The WinDSX software is inherently TCP/IP capable and can redirect communication that would normally be transmitted out over serial port, over a LAN/WAN to a particular IP address. The DSX-LAN(M) module receives that communication and converts it to RS-232 or RS-485 that connects directly to the Master Controller. This adds another avenue of flexibility to WinDSX by utilizing TCP/IP communications as well as dial-up modem and direct serial port connectivity. All three means of communication can be used at the same time in the same system. The DSX-LAN(M) is powered from the DSX Controller which can provide battery backup.
The DSX-LAN(M) module is sold in two different configurations. The DSX-LAN module provides IP communications as the only method of connectivity. The DSX-LAN(M) has dial-up modem backup. The DSX-LAN module must be ordered with the (M) option along with the DSX modem to support the dial-up backup feature.
