The pcProx Ethernet Reader for HID Cards allows users to attach pcProx readers to a RJ45 Ethernet connections. When using the supplied redirector software, the reader appears the same as our RS-232 model. The supplied software includes both a device finder (used to locate the ethernet address: static or dynamic) as well as a serial-to-ethernet redirector. The Serial-to-Ethernet Converter is designed to attach to any RF IDeas RS-232 prox/contactless reader or Wiegand converter and provide for attachment to a RJ45 Ethernet connection. The converter comes with software that includes a redirector. This redirector takes the Ethernet address (static or dynamic) and redirects the traffic to a virtual COM port on a Windows PC. For example, if the converter taking address 192.168.0.5. The user runs the re-director software on their PC and sets the address to address 192.168.0.5, and chooses an available COM Port (ex COM4). The user's software or the pcProx Configuration application sees this pcProx reader as a standard serial reader at COM 4. When a card is presented, the card's data will appear in ASCII at COM 4. No software or other changes are necessary. Please click here to review the literature pcProx Literature for more details. |
