ELK IP232 Serial to Ethernet Converter

The ELK Products IP232 serial-to-Ethernet device server delivers a simple, reliable way to bring serial hardware onto your IP network so you can monitor, control, and secure remote equipment. The ELK IP232 Device Server converts RS-232 serial data to TCP/IP or UDP packets, enabling legacy devices—such as access control panels, CCTV switchers, alarm controllers, and industrial sensors—to participate in modern networked surveillance and monitoring systems. With support for both TCP and UDP, selectable baud rates from 300 to 115,200, and up to twelve simultaneous network connections, installers can enable multi-user access and redundant monitoring without redesigning existing serial infrastructure. The DB9 RS-232 port and integrated 10/100 Ethernet interface make deployment straightforward, while firmware updates and programmable outgoing connection rules simplify maintenance and automation. Designed for security, surveillance, and industrial networking applications, the ELK IP232 reduces downtime and extends the life of your serial devices. Add the ELK IP232 to your next security or building automation project to centralize control and enable remote diagnostics and monitoring—contact your distributor to order or request a quote.
