Product Description

The RuggedWIRELESS™ RS910WNC is an industrially hardened wireless Serial/Ethernet Device Server that has been specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments. The RS910WNC features a wireless LAN (WLAN) interface combined with 2 serial ports and/or 2 Fast Ethernet ports. The RS910WNC allows you to connect any RS-232/ 422/485 serial devices at up to 230 kbps and/or connect Ethernet devices for wireless access and control via an IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN. The RS910WNC eliminates costly wiring and simplifies network installation.

The RS910WNC functions as a wireless “client/bridge” within an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant WLAN. This allows the RS910WNC to transfer data for connected serial port and Ethernet devices via an installed Wireless Access Point. The RS910WNC is capable of wireless data rates of up to 54Mbps whose bandwidth is available for the combined device traffic volume emanating from two serial ports and two Ethernet ports.

The RS910WNC functions as a standalone IEEE 802.11b/g access point for wireless clients providing wireless data rates of up to 54Mbps. Wireless communications are protected by Wired Equivalency Protocol, (WEP), with 40 bit encryption key. Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For additional centralized control, the RS910W also supports IEEE 802.1X/RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys.

The RS910WNC has an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C without the use of internal cooling fans allowing it to be placed in almost any location. The RS910WNC also has an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages for worldwide operability, and is compliant with EMI and environmental standards for utility substations, industrial manufacturing, process control and intelligent transportation systems applications.

The RS910WNC is backed by a five year warranty and unsurpassed technical support.
