ORing Announces IDS-5600 Secure Device Server
IDS-5600 secure device server gives conventional RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 devices instant access to TCP/IP and UDP connectivity.

Nov. 10, 2008 - ORing-Networking launched IDS-5600 series device server, which insures the data security through SSL and SSH protocols to transmit encrypted serial data over Ethernet. In the industrial Ethernet environment, Serial-to-Ethernet Servers just like a communication bridge between Serial devices and Ethernet traffics. With the server series, the conventional RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 devices are given an instant access to TCP/IP and UDP connectivity where distance and speed are no longer limited.IDS-5600 series device server is an ideal choice for connecting RS-232/422/485 serial devices such as PLC, sensors, meters, motors and drives in industrial environments.

IDS-5600 series offers many powerful features for redundant functions. When connection fails, IDS-5600 series will automatically switch to another LAN port within 10 ms to make sure the connection.IDS-5600 series is suitable for wall mount or DIN-Rail mount. With IP-30 housing design, IDS-5600 can operate with wide range of power input.

Therefore, IDS-5600 series, for its safe and steady, is well suited for industrial applications.IDS-5600 series device server provides instant connection between RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and IP Ethernet LAN with tiny size. Redundant dual DC power inputsIDS-5600 series device server offers dual DC power inputs for redundant purpose to ensure long-term trouble free operation. Hence, IDS-5600 series creates more flexible usage for different modes. IDS-5600 series device servers can be operated in TCP Server, TCP Client, or UDP operation mode, and it can be set through Web Browser console as well.

In practical operation, DS-Tool, the windows utility for ORing ¨C Networking Device Server, is very helpful for you to manage and monitor all of ORing¨C Networking¡¯s industrial device servers in the industrial network.PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), for internet community, provides IDS the ability to get connection a network through xDSL without router. Hence, IDS can extend from Intranet to Internet which raise the flexibility of usage.DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is a method, protocol or network service that provides the capability for a networked device using the Internet Protocol Suite, such as an IP router or computer system, to notify a domain name server to change, in real time (ad-hoc), the active DNS configuration of its configured hostnames, addresses or other information stored in DNS.

When getting the connection through PPPoE and the IP address is floated, end users may not configure IDS. However, though DDNS method, it¡¯s easy for different IP domain users to us IDS series switch Features:

  • Versatile socket operation modes, including VCOM, TCP Server£¬TCP ClientUDP, serial Tunnel
  • Dual redundant Ethernet port support redundant mode (Recovery time <10ms)
  • Redundant time less 10 ms
  • Secured management by HTTPs and SSH.
  • PPPoE for internet community
  • DDNS for domain name service
  • DIN-Rail and panel mounting enabled
