Description

Quatech's new wireless ThinQ™ serial device servers connect RS-422 and RS-485 serial communications-equipped devices to local and wide-area networks without routing Ethernet cables. These new devices integrate either Linksys® or Cisco® Aironet® wireless engines with the already best-in-class ThinQ serial device servers to provide the best-performing, most flexible wireless serial-to-Ethernet servers on the market.

Quatech's ThinQ serial device servers are engineered to Motorola® digital dna™ standards featuring a PowerPC® core with an on-board RISC communications processor. This dual-CPU design, the auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet interface, and Quatech's proven high-speed, 921k-baud serial technology offer the best performance in the industry and ensure that your critical business applications won't be harmed by data throughput or latency issues.

Easy to set up and install, ThinQ serial device servers are up and running on your network in 10 minutes or less. A unique Installation Wizard automatically searches for and identifies any ThinQ unit attached to the network, even searching remote subnets if needed. No client software is installed on your PC, just a small set of drivers that configures each ThinQ serial port as a new COM port on the PC. This allows software applications to access the attached serial device as they are designed to, with no custom programming needed. Simply point your software application to the new, "virtual" COM port and you're all set!

The SSEW-200/300L single port RS-422/485 wireless serial device server can be configured for either RS-422 or RS-485 communication in either full-duplex or half duplex mode. This model offers Linksys® wireless connectivity and depending on location and signal strength, these units dynamically shift between 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps network speeds for consistent performance, availability and flexibility. They are interoperable with most IEEE 802.11b-compliant, 2.4 GHz DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) access points and provide support for 128-bit WEP security protocols. The SSEW "L" models also include a high-powered, built-in antenna.

The SSEW-200/300C single port RS-422/485 wireless serial device server can also be configured for either RS-422 or RS-485 communication in either full-duplex or half duplex mode. This model is intended for those applications requiring Cisco® Aironet® 350 Series compatibility and performance. These industry-leading products install seamlessly into any centralized security protocol used on existing Cisco Aironet 350 Series Access Points and Bridges. With a full 100-milliwatt (mW) of transmit power and the best receive sensitivity in the industry, the SSEW "C" models provide the longest range and best reliability available anywhere. It has a standard RP-TNC connector for the maximum flexibility in selecting the best antenna for each application. A 5.5 dBi Rubber Duck antenna is available as an option.

Quatech's "virtual" COM drivers and the Installation Wizard are available for Windows NT4/2000/XP and Linux. ThinQ can be deployed successfully in almost any OS environment however, including Unix and Solaris, via Raw TCP (socket) mode or Quatech's exclusive IntelliSock™ mode. IntelliSock is a flexible and powerful TCP socket service for custom applications that provides capabilities beyond that of Raw TCP mode, such as re-configuring the serial port parameters in the packet header sent with each data transfer. A free Software Developer's Kit (SDK) explains more about this unique feature.
