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.
