Introduction
1. Introduction
This manual describes the family of DSTni-XPress DR Device Servers, including the DSTni-
XPress DR Device Server and the DSTni-XPress DR-IAP Device Server with Industrial
Automation Protocols.
Most of the material in this manual applies to all of the DSTni-XPress DR products.
However, in some cases there will be some features that apply to only one product. In those
cases, a note will explain the variation.
Note: In most cases DSTni-XPress DR
refers to DSTni-XPress DR and DSTni-XPress DR-
IAP.
1.1 DSTni-XPress DR
The DSTni-XPress DR Device Server connects serial devices to Ethernet networks using the
IP protocol family (TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram
applications). A few of the different types of serial devices supported are listed below:
Time/Attendance Clocks and Terminals
ATM Machines
CNC Controllers
Data Collection Devices
Universal Power Supply (UPS) Management Units
Telecommunications Equipment
Data Display Devices
Security Alarms and Access Control Devices
Handheld Instruments
Modems
The DSTni-XPress DR connects these devices through a TCP data channel or through a
Telnet connection to computers or another Device Server. Datagrams can be sent by UDP.
