Lumens RS-232 over IP Network Adapter - VC-AC07

The Lumens VC-AC07 is a high-performance RS-232 over IP network adapter designed to seamlessly integrate serial devices into modern Ethernet networks. This compact metal-housed converter enables remote management, control, and data transmission of RS-232 equipment over a standard TCP/IP network, making it an ideal solution for AV, industrial, and IT environments.

Advantages

With the VC-AC07, you can extend the life of legacy RS-232 devices by connecting them to your network without the need for a dedicated PC. It supports multiple operating modes (TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP) and offers flexible baud rates up to 115200 bps. The web-based GUI and Telnet management simplify configuration, while LED indicators provide real-time status of power, link activity, and serial data transmission.

Suitable for

• Integrating RS-232 controlled projectors, cameras, and displays into IP-based control systems
• Remote monitoring and management of industrial serial equipment
• Extending serial communication over long distances via Ethernet
• Replacing direct serial cables with network connectivity for greater flexibility
