Description
The power and flexibility of the
400 series is derived from the industry's best processor, a PowerPC®
from Freescale™ (formerly Motorola® Semiconductor). This
processor is part of a world-class architecture that offers the
lowest latency available anywhere. In addition, 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 issues.
The new 400 Series models introduce
a new software-selectable, RS-232 / 422 / 485 multi-electrical
interface (MEI) to the ThinQ product line. They are currently
available in one and two port units, but higher port counts will be
released in 2005. Unlike many competing two-port models on the
market, the DSE-400D has MEI on both ports. Already the performance
leader, the DSE-400D is now the flexibility leader as well.
An intuitive Installation Wizard
gets ThinQ up and running in just minutes, automatically searching
local and remote subnets for the correct model attached. Network
settings automatically assigned by DHCP networks are displayed for
confirmation, or change to a static IP address easily using the
Installation Wizard - no Telnet sessions, MAC address data entry or
special cables are needed. ThinQ can be managed through the Windows®
Device Manager interface or a Web browser, for continued ease of
configuration and maintenance long after the initial installation is
completed.
Do you have two serial devices that communicate directly with each
other and you wish to replace the short serial cable using the
distances made possible with Ethernet technology? The serial
tunneling feature now available on every ThinQ model can do this
much easier than you imagine. Set up one ThinQ unit as the master,
tell it the IP address of the remote ThinQ unit, and plug them both
in. The master will locate and configure the remote unit for you,
right out of the box! The two serial devices will then communicate
as if connected by a short serial cable; the Ethernet portion will
be invisible to the devices.
For remote service and monitoring
applications, try our new AutoTCP feature. The serial port can be
set up to act as a TCP Client, requesting a connection whenever the
serial device is attached and powered on or, if you prefer, whenever
serial data is ready for upload to the host computer. You can leave
the connection on, or disconnect from the host after a specified
period. But when a service request from a remote monitoring PC (with
a specified IP address) arrives, ThinQ will act as a TCP server,
allow access to the serial device to the monitoring PC, and go back
to Client mode when the Server session is finished. This is perfect
for remote troubleshooting, support and report generation!
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 in the packet header sent
with each data transfer. A free Software Developer's Kit (SDK)
explains more about this unique feature.
The 400 Series ports can be
configured for RS-232 or for RS-422 or RS-485 asynchronous
communication in either full-duplex or half-duplex mode. ThinQ units
are housed in a solid metal case suited for rugged industrial
environments, and DIN rail mounting kit and surge suppression
options are available.
